I'm glad to see your answer reference looking for an English speaking editor/copywriter. I am currently reading your book Tabula Rasa (The Amber Group #1). I am enjoying the storyline, but was going to have to add what Judith mentioned about the English translation when I reviewed the book. Now I don't have too. Good Luck.
Dear Joy,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out regarding Tabula Rasa. I fully acknowledge the fact that the initial English translation was not adequate for Tabula Rasa nor Genesis. For the past couple of months, I've been working with a native English speaking editor on both books and I've just finished the process of uploading a second edition of the books on Amazon.
Thank you again for your time, it's much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Dear Judith, Joy. I hope all is well. I just wanted to let you know that I have been working with two native English/speaking editors and has now revised both (English editions) of Tabula Rasa and Genesis. Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to reach out to me about highlighting the issues that plagued the earlier versions. Going forward, this lesson is for sure learned and for future books, this will (hopefully) not be an issue.
All the best,
//Filip
I just finished the book and am now glad I reviewed the comment here rather than posting my own, as it reflects exactly what I was thinking. I liked the story line but had a lot of trouble with reading through it. My first thought was actually pretty accurate, as it seemed to me to be a translation to English by a non-English speaker. Sort of like watching one of those old Chinese movies with English translations. Glad to hear you will be getting/have gotten help here.
