Author Testimonial
Michael Speltz has exactly what you want an editor to have: an eye for detail. He catches all the small, nitty details that are so easily missed. Also, he’s a grammarian and knows how to write correctly.
If you are looking for an editor who delivers on time and on budget, who will make sure your book reads well, Michael is your man. He is especially excellent with ebooks and works well with self-publishing authors.
