Testimonials
"With almost four million books in print over the last 20 years, I have worked with a lot of top-notch editors in conventional publishing houses.
Alexandra Leggat stands out from them all. Not just because she is a superb substantive editor, rearranging my sometimes confusing first drafts into flowing, satisfying reads. And not just because she rapidly assumes her authors’ voice and style. And not just because she turns around her suggestions and corrections in days instead of sometimes months with other top editors. What really sets her apart is her happy, humble, and approachable nature.
Alexandra is a true professional and a joy to work with."

Nicholas Boothman, Author
"When you can’t determine the best point of view for your narrative, or you can’t quite define the genre your prose belongs in and the descriptive scenes are way too long, who are you going to call? Alexandra Leggat, that’s who!
Her patience, insight and thought provoking suggestions draw out the best in a writer. Alexandra’s support is boundless and there is no better editor and mentor I’d rather work with."

"Working with Alexandra was one of the best things I did to prepare my manuscript for publication. She gave me excellent advice – and took a lot of care to get my story to the next level."
