Editing Services for Authors

Editing is an intricate dance between the author and the editor. The editor’s role is to showcase the author and their written work while staying true to the author’s voice.

I feel so grateful that Nicole has my back on my debut novel. She is professional, talented and kind. I can’t wait to work with her on number two.

As an indie author, searching for a professional, budget-friendly, and communicative editor was tough. Dr. Nicole Morin not only ticked all those boxes and more. Her weekly updates kept me in the loop, and her client portal was like a treasure trove of resources. What really separates Dr. Nicole is her warmth and genuine passion for helping us indie authors. Every step of the way, it's evident that this isn't just a job to her; it's her calling. Every detail was perfect, from her website to the little notes she left on my manuscript. If there were more than five stars to give, I'd shower her with them. Dr. Nicole didn't just meet my expectations; she soared past them. Working with her has been a privilege, and I can't wait to see her become a cornerstone of the indie author community.

Nicole is not only an editor but also your biggest fan and supporter! Her comments go above and beyond to make your book better. She also returned my manuscript in almost half the turnaround time. Definitely plan to work with her again.

Working with Nicole was an absolute breeze. I couldn't believe what an amazing, thorough job she did on my manuscript. Not only that, but her communication during the process was so amazing! She gave me regular updates throughout the entire process, and was constantly checking in. I can't wait to work with her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch editor! 🙂

Nicole has been lovely to work with. She goes above and beyond with communication, editing tracking, and information provided. She included a style-sheet which is so amazingly helpful for moving forward with a series. Wonderful!
Marissa Nevills
The Assist LLC was beyond what I expected! Nicole finished my manuscript edits promptly while still giving me thorough suggestions that have even helped me understand and improve as a young new writer. Her communication was great throughout the entire project. She was so kind with my nerves about sharing my project with professional eyes. I definitely recommend her to any indie authors looking for an editor!!

Every manuscript needs to go through the editing process. It is where your ideas are transformed and polished into a finished novel. At The Assist LLC, we strive to ensure your voice as the author is the focal point. This is your dream, your hard work, and you deserve an editor who will ensure that is at the forefront. 

There has been a notable shift in the writing industry that includes leveraging the use of AI more frequently when composing written work. At The Assist LLC, we ensure that when you choose us, you choose a human to read and edit your work. We deeply believe that writing is an art form, no matter the genre. While AI is an invaluable tool, and we believe it has its place, we do not feel it has a place in editing your manuscript.
