What author Phillipa Nefri Clark
says...
If you are an author, particularly of romance or romantic themes novels, then you need Nas Dean. Her depth of experience as an editor and mentor will take your work to the next level, no matter which of her skills you utilise. For me—as a new author—it began with giving me access to her network of readers and promoting my books. In the past couple of years, I've come to rely on Nas for a lot more than readers.
After editing three short stories in my new paranormal suspense series, I was so delighted with her knowledge and dedication that I asked her to re-edit my very first novel, now published for two years. This edit took me to places I'd never been (including utter dismay I hadn't used her from the beginning), and transformed the book into a work I am beyond proud of.
Every step of the way she was there to explain points, offer suggestions when needed, and keep me on track. Nas has arranged blog tours for me, proofread, edited at all levels, and promoted my books through her many contacts. I am always happy to talk about my experiences with Nas, and recommend her no matter what level of writing you are at. hello@phillipaclark.com
