Editing & Manuscript Assessment
We want to help you bring your work of fiction to life. After more than a decade of helping authors by editing and proofreading their works (plus over thirty years running an IT consultancy, where I wrote, edited, proofread and published several hundred technical documents), I put together a small group of likeminded people and started Patrick Editing.
