After reading my older sister's V.C. Andrews novels when I was barely a teen (when my mum found out she plied me with the classics), there was no stopping my love affair with reading.
Fast-forward and I'm now an English teacher with a double degree in Arts and Education, and over 20 years of teaching experience. My love of teaching and reading has developed into a love of helping authors achieve their dreams. Qualified in professional proofreading and editing, I pride my work on my attention to detail and communication with clients.

My goal is to make your dream come true. Whatever service you're interested in, contact me for a free sample edit (1,000 words).
"I have been trusting Nicole with editing for years now and she is absolutely incredible. She is meticulous, prompt, fun, and a dream to work with. I've learned a lot working with her because she doesnt just edit your work and hand it back silently. She opens a dialogue with you, making the whole experience feel like a partnership. It's very reassuring. It's the kind of service that keeps me coming back again and again, unwilling to go to anyone but Letter-Eye." - Author Tracey Ward
"I can't say enough about my incredible editor Nicole. She was patient, thorough and paid attention to detail when editing my memoir. I appreciated that she took the time to explain her edits along with offering several suggestions. She was flexible and extremely kind with my emotional subject matter. She moved quickly and was able to finish the edits by my target date. She’s talented, professional and absolutely lovely!" - Author Andrea Perez
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And I’m an ocean away from her! I will use Nicole for all my future projects as long as she’ll have me. Nicole has helped me turn ideas into three Amazon Kindle bestselling and award winning books. I’ve worked with her through many stages of editing and have never had anything other than a great experience. She has saved me from multiple embarrassing mistakes, works quick, is professional and tasteful. You won’t be disappointed." - Author CJ English
