"Elena was exceedingly helpful as an editor in the final stages of my book publishing. Her work was incredibly timely, polished, and skillful. She worked with me through very frustrating technological circumstances and provided me with unmatched support, technical advice, and professional guidance. She was readily available to me to answer any questions or work through concerns. In short, Elena gave me the tools not only to complete an important project, but also guided me to feel more confident and proud of the book manuscript in the end."
