Sirena Miles2023-05-31Fantastic experience and service from Dan. As a writer that is working towards publishing, he has been professional, and supportive and builds confidence. I will be looking forward to further services from The Open Book Editor.annemarie duperouzel2023-05-22Dan was an absolute delight to work with. From our initial telephone conversation I knew that he would be the right person to edit my novel. As a novice writer I had a very strong idea of the story which I had worked over the first few years in making the first few drafts. Once that was finished I did need the help of an experienced editor in a strong line edit which Dan did brilliantly. His contact and communication was always timely and the work done within the deadlines set. He also gave some very crucial and helpful advice on how to add in elements to the story to take it to the next level which was over and above his remit. Dan is the editor that every writer can benefit from. Highly recommended.Jaiveer Asthana2023-02-08I found Dan after I almost got scammed by a Facebook editor. He wasn't even gonna be my editor because this other guy promised to edit my 145k word novel in 7 days for £300 pounds. Dan helped me out and found this other guy bogus page. I would be £300 poorer before coming back to him if he hadn't stepped in to help me. That's enough of a backstory. Dan worked very hard on my novel during the festive season too. I'm dyslexic and through Dan's help my novel is what it is today. I can't tell you how invaluable this man was to my book. He is a very good communicator and an even better editor. If you are looking for an editor for your next piece of work I would highly recommend this man!Sara Abahussain2022-09-13It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Dan! I have worked with him on a number of projects, and each time, his comments elevate my work to a whole new level. Dan always returns the revised document on time and with detailed suggestions that go beyond my expectations. I am truly grateful for all the advice and assistance he has offered me!Željko Hatlek2022-08-15I couldn't be happier to have found such an editor. With his ideas and vision, he turned my book into something extraordinary. Excellent communication and even better cooperation. He did more than agreed and I am more than grateful. If you want your book to shine, you're in the right place.nanci Rubin2022-05-27I love working with Dan on my debut novel. He is helpful and respectful of my work and willing to go the extra mile in helping me make my book the best it can be. I appreciate his kind and gentle suggestions which have enhanced my story's characters and plot line. He is a professional and a gentleman. I am so fortunate to have found him. Look forward to continued work with him in the future.Michelle Mapstone2022-02-12Dan is skilled and knowledgeable. I m finding that his guidance is helping me to become a better writer.Pamela odunaiya2022-02-01The coach helped me to be more confident as a writer and worked on a 'can do attitude' with me. He teased the answers to questions with such warmth and goodwill that I had to think about answering the questions correctly. I will recommend this gig to anyone and the the coaching programme is good value for money.Shimon Avish2021-12-01Working with Dan on my debut novel was a terrific experience. Not only is he gentle in his feedback, but he is also respectful of the author's story and use of language while improving both. Dan is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He was always on time or early and delivered exactly what he promised. From now on, he is my go-to editor for all projects. I cannot recommend Dan enough.Adonia Archondaki2021-07-16Dan opened my creative mind with his extremely thorough and professional developmental edit. My work has only benefited because of his guidance. Having a balance to deliver critique and support with out demotivating a person is a gift. Forever ready to answer my questions promptly, Dan would be the best addition to furthering anyone's Book. Becoming an author is nice, becoming a great author needs support. I look forward to the next chapter the final edit! Thank you Dan (The open book editor)
