Welcome!
I am Nimna Perera, a trusted and dedicated copyeditor. These two adjectives I have not used lightly but earned over the years of working with first-time and experienced writers to deliver a publication-ready copy.
An avid reader and a book enthusiast, I LOVE collaborating with writers to not only give feedback on mechanics, but also provide a reader's perspective. You can count on me to be honest and direct in the feedback I give you from the first reading to the Nth.
I consider it an honor to have the opportunity to be one of your first readers, and it is a priceless reward in my line of work.
