Amanda Greenslade

Bio
Amanda is a writer, editor and graphic designer with small business experience and a love of books. She has a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Writing and Screen Production, and has been involved in design and publishing since 2004.

She approaches her editing jobs with both a big picture perspective and a fine-toothed comb, using her knack with words and her nous with cohesion to help writers produce their finest work. She loves children, animals, books, science and technology, so it is only fitting that she has two busy boys, three capering cats and manages Australian eBook Publisher.

Feedback about Amanda

"Thank you for your really detailed and insightful response. There is a lot to absorb and a great deal of thinking for me to do. I appreciate your directness in pointing out all of the faults in the story. Also you gave some interesting plot lines to follow. Thanks again for a good whacking. As I said, I need to do a lot of thinking. I'll give it to you, you're good."—A.C.

Feedback about an exceptional Brisbane editor

Sometimes you just don't know how good something is until you experience it. I sent what I thought of as the 'final' draft of my first novel to Lynne at Australian eBook Publisher mostly because I thought someone should give it a once over and tidy it up a bit. What came back was an intelligent and comprehensive review that shortened it by 10,000 words or so and resulted in a much, much better manuscript. Then when I needed a cover designed, Lynne's colleague James produced a beautiful one in no time at all. And we did all of this while I am in Italy and they are in Australia! Now I know how good they are, they will be at the top of my mind when my next novel is ready to go.—Anthony R. Wildman

Australian eBook Publisher offers excellent editing services and I have used them for all three of my published books. Each time I receive a manuscript back, I am impressed by how thorough their line editing and proofreading is. They leave no stone unturned and always suggest easy ways to correct issues. I am continually learning new things from their edits and this helps me to become a better writer. I trust their advice completely, knowing they care about my manuscript as much as much I do. Will continue to use them again and again!—Michelle Montebello

“Lynne Stringer of Australian eBook Publisher, edited and provided exceptional comments and suggestions for my ... thriller novel. Lynne’s superior knowledge and understand[ing] of suspense thrillers really helped ramp up the tension and suspense, tighten the pace, and significantly improve the overall story. I am anxious to get to work with Lynne on my second novel. I highly recommend Australian eBook Publisher’s editing services.”—Arthur Bozikas (OAM)
