Random Testimonial:

“Tod Foley of As If Productions edited my story and gave me some great feedback. He corrected everything from minor grammatical errors, to consistency errors, and even at one point, telling me straight up that the ending was too depressing in a way that didn’t serve the story. He was friendly and paid real close attention to my writing style and ensured that my voice was as undiluted by his as he possibly could. He pointed out where my writing was strong and where it needed work – and most importantly, how to fix it. All in all, I enjoyed working with Tod, and would recommend the experience to anybody looking for a great editor with reasonable rates.”
