The edit suggestions were amateurish. I would never hire the 'supposed' fiction editor.

You did my work. I just hope that the screenwriting contest want it, so I can make dream come true.

I thought I might be defensive when I received my script edits, but I was grateful and pleased with the suggestions. I believe my experience was very good overall and would have given a 5 star review except for a couple of spelling errors. The note from the editor was positive yet honest. I will use this company again for sure.

I really enjoyed the reviews and it helped immensely.

Very satisfied with the work

I have had nothing but positive experiences. I was feeling extremely lost with how to formulate my personal statement and applications. Truly a stroke of luck I signed up for a free session on a whim and found this resource. My application and PS were exponentially improved with the help of David/DLA and I feel much more confident in my application as a whole. I completely re-vamped my PS and application 2 weeks out from submission. Very reliable with their specified turnaround time. 10/10 recommend to anyone considering using this service.

Just telling “Could you provide explanation in detail about this?” “Why you think this experience meaningful?” Editage comments were just criticizing, not constructive.
