​​​★★★★★ "I recently completed a memoir about my

life with my late husband. Emotionally, it was difficult

for me to write, and as a result I tended to pack too

much information into parts of the story where it really

didn't belong. I knew I needed help straightening it

out and asked a well-known book consultant for a

recommendation of a good editor. She suggested

that I talk with Alice Douthwaite of Paper-free Editing.

I did that and soon felt very comfortable with Alice.

She and I have now worked through two separate

drafts of my manuscript. Each pass greatly improved the

text. She deserves an immense amount of credit for the ultimate quality and readability of my forthcoming book, BETTING ON BERNIE, A MEMOIR OF A MARRIAGE.

Over the coming year, I plan to write a novel. When the time comes, I'll call again on Alice. I highly recommend her to

other authors, too."

-Martha Marks

"Alice is a meticulous and conscientious copyeditor

who works with authors to make sure their text conveys

its message in a way that is accessible to readers. She's

great with deadlines and a true professional."

-Miranda Darrow of Book MD Editing, author of The 

Six-Step Revision Process

★★★★★ "Alice's detailed proofing of my manuscript really

helped me add the final polish to my submission. I especially

appreciate her ability to point out my inconsistencies in spelling

and phrasing, something I didn't even realize."

-J L Wilson, author of Beached

​​

★★★★★ “Alice gave numerous helpful suggestions and made 

the formatting consistent across the manuscript. She  transformed

me from writer to author with a very quick turnaround."

-Dee Dee Kiesow, author of Fundraising in the Post-Pandemic World

group's Bylaws. Her work is very clear and precise and completed

in a timely manner."
