Why work with me

Emma Hine, YA Historical Fantasy

I've always prided myself on having high levels of attention to detail but Scarlett managed to find little things that had slipped through the net even after several rounds of self editing, and line editing. Despite only booking her for a proofread she went over and above, pointing out where sentence structure could be improved even more, or if something didn't quite make sense. She was also easy to communicate with and hugely supportive. I will one hundred percent use ScarlettInk again.

Anjana Chowdhury, Literary Thriller

My manuscript report was spot on. It listed all the weaknesses I was concerned about as well as helpful suggestions on how to solve the issues. Scarlett has a sharp eye for inconsistencies as well as plot and character development. She understood my complex, unlikeable protagonist and the unpredictable narrative. She's quite frankly the best editor I've ever worked with. 

"

Ashley Barnhill, CliFi Thriller

Scarlett’s involvement was nothing short of miraculous and absolutely vital – dismantling and reassembling piece by brutal piece and turning chaos into coherence. This book wouldn’t exist in its best form without your precise, merciless and utterly transformative guidance.
