Debut Thriller Author
"I was terrified to let anyone touch my manuscript. But HMD's editor didn't just fix errors - she made my writing BETTER while keeping my voice intact. The track changes were so educational. My book went from "decent draft" to "I can't put this down" according to my beta readers. The 99p investment in proofreading alone saved me from publishing with embarrassing typos."
Prof. Robert Hayes
Academic Author
"Academic writing needs precision. The editor understood my field and tightened my prose without losing the scholarly tone. Publisher accepted it on first submission."
