    I would like to thank Elisabeth for her editorial work. An epic novel based on Norse mythology, 68,000 words. I understand that the subject matter is very complex for someone who is unfamiliar with Norse mythology, and therefore I particularly appreciate both her editorial work and her general comments...

    The editor and I decided to divide the novel into several parts and work on it in stages.

    It was a great experience with this gig. I gave her a small project, and I'm happy with her results. I hope to work with her again. The only thing holding me back is cost. If you can afford it, I think she'll be a detailed beta reader and helpful with her edits. I highly recommend it!
