Correction
What customers thought of it...
I entrusted my text to Élodie for beta reading and I'm more than satisfied! First, there was the work on the form, paying close attention to spelling mistakes and inconsistencies, but also meticulous work on the content, which helped me correct many errors in my story (a weak character, a pacing problem, a shaky narrative structure, etc.). I should also add that it was very quick and consistent (20 pages a day), which allowed me to catch up little by little, and that I received a detailed 15-page document at the end covering all aspects of my story (my writing style, the characters, the worldbuilding). In short, Élodie's attentive work allowed me to refine my story for submission to a publishing house; I highly recommend her!

What customers thought of it...
I immediately felt comfortable with Élodie, who struck me as very professional from our very first exchanges about the beta reading of my manuscript. Her constructive and supportive feedback allowed me to identify areas for improvement, which greatly helped me. Furthermore, her detailed summary report was reassuring: it highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of my writing. I highly recommend her and her work!
Clémence, author
What customers thought of it...
Elodie beta-read my very first manuscript, and if I had to do it again, I would entrust it to her in the first place. What I appreciated most about her work was, first and foremost, her consistency and reliability. When Elodie commits to a project, she doesn't let it drag on! It was invaluable to be able to revisit her comments as I went along, and it allowed me to meet my own deadlines for editing. Secondly, and this is very important to me, her feedback was honest. She never tried to tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather highlighted what was important to revise in my text for publication. Finally, her feedback, including her final reading summary, was comprehensive and provided valuable perspective on many aspects: the plot, the world-building, the characters in my novel, and so on. In short, I highly recommend Elodie for an outside opinion on your manuscript.
