“Nancy’s copyediting blends the technician’s strength with the wordsmith’s nuance. She knows her stuff and catches mistakes that other editors missed (thanks for that).” When I needed a rush edit she didn’t hesitate to say yes at a negotiable price.
“Nancy is very easy to work with while being very professional. I highly recommend her if you want your work right the first time. I will definitely use her services for future books. Nancy is a true professional and was a joy to work with. Though my job fell during a busy holiday season, she completed the work when promised with staggering detail, catching what others missed, and flagging a few spots needing clarification. Nancy's solid work experience, completed projects, and client testimonials sold me. Asylum by Kathryn Orzech is worth reading."My thriller was due for updated front and back matter, an opportune time to snag those pesky proofing errors within, so I searched for a once-and-for-all copy editor. I like the smooth continuity of the author’s writing as she switched from one relevant era to the other, and her mixed characters. There is a lot of suspense that begins in the first chapter and continues to the conclusion. It also gives an insightful account of previous asylum conditions. It is interesting and the touching drama of Rosa’s past could make a short story by itself.
Asylum is a poignant dark story that reverts to 1899, describing Rosa’s past in one chapter, then current events associated with Laura in another. Kathryn Orzech has created a fascinating mystery that grabs you with its unique plot. This quest proves difficult since persons close to her suddenly become untrustworthy, especially after she inherits most of Rosa’s assets, where the secret remains hidden. She attempts to research Rosa’s past while contemplating her own insecure future. While grieving and puzzled by an old newspaper clipping in her grandmother’s possession, Laura meets an elderly woman who knew Rosa from the asylum and receives an antique key from her to unlock Rosa’s mysterious secret. Seventy-five years later, Rosa dies before telling her granddaughter, Laura, a haunting secret. She secretly writes about sinister activities at the institution that include missing inmates, while living in hope that her father will rescue her. In 1899, twelve-year-old Margaret Rosa Delito is committed to an asylum after witnessing a shameful incident that changes her life forever.
