The Humble Quill

TESTIMONIALS
"I collaborated with The Humble Quill on my book 'Heritage'. It has been the best experience with an editor I've had and I'm considering working together again on other works in the future. My editor, Casey Luxford, was focused, professional, quick and honest in her work. Thanks to her edits, I was more pleased with the results and felt inspired to write more and take more risks.
I would recommend The Humble Quill to anyone in need of a good, honest, but encouraging feedback on their work, and to authors who are writing in English as their second language."

"Casey is professional and easy to work with. She worked with our brigade management team to produce a high-quality newsletter and was very helpful in assisting us with the layout and relevant content to deliver the desired message. Thanks, Casey for all your help."

"Casey provided a great structural edit for my romantic comedy. She was able to point out plot holes and inconsistencies, and where my writing voice was inconsistent. She gave a detailed character analysis and helped me to see where speech might be inconsistent with the character. She also gave a great chapter by chapter review. She pointed out things that hadn't even crossed my mind but which have enabled my story to shine. What I loved about Casey's edit was the way she gave feedback. She deeply respected my writing style while non-judgementally providing the necessary critiquing that helped me to improve the overall storyline and pacing. I highly recommend Casey to anyone thinking of a structural edit of their novel."

"Casey Luxford (sole owner and editor of The Humble Quill) is an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is her skill impeccable but her knowledge and expertise in editing are of the highest standards. Casey was not only the Co-Editor in Chief of the creative magazine, Inspiration Unfolded (a collection of creative based articles and inspiring stories), but she was also a valued article contributor as well. Her ability to multi-task was outstanding and greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Casey for any and all your editing needs as she will prove to be an asset to your creations."

"I was looking for an editor not long ago and was a bit nervous about spending the money because it's difficult to sort through people to find a legitimate editor. I just received my manuscript (historical fiction) back from Casey Luxford from The Humble Quill. She provided a lot of useful feedback and really took in what I had written and considered what elements worked and what could be improved upon. There was a lot of feedback to improve the manuscript, which is what I was looking for, including pointing out fast/slow scenes and providing suggestions. Just thought I'd let you all know to make it a bit easier for you to find someone who was professional to work with."

"Casey was an exceptional freelance editor who was able to work to a range of different content themes and issues, process and present data in interesting ways that were easy to comprehend and structure copy for use in infographics. She never missed a deadline and always produced something unique that engaged large audiences in both Australia and New Zealand. I look forward to working with Casey again."

I owe her a huge thanks for not only helping out with my story but helping me to become a better writer. I've learned so much and I'm confident that this is only the beginning. I recommend The Humble Quill to anyone serious about their writing."

"Need an excellent editor? Look no further!! I am a new children's book author, and I chose Casey to work on my first project - "Zoey has an Allergy". Casey was efficient, resourceful and very accepting of my ideas and thoughts. She was prompt with delivery, and always was sure to give her best along the way. I will be counting on Casey for any further work down the road!"

"Casey helped me with my short story 'Air terminal' which I had to get ready for a competition. I found that Casey's attention to detail and her knowledge to be truly amazing. Not only that, she has a great creative flair, which allowed me to work with her in elevating my work to another level. She was both committed and engaged, allowing several passes of my work, which helped me immensely. Casey was also a really pleasant person to work with. I am planning to work with her on my novel and I hope to continue using her services into the future. I thoroughly recommend her."
