What began as a passion project has grown through word of mouth and unwavering dedication into a trusted resource for authors across all genres.

I Let My Clients Do All The Talking!
“Hey, it's everybody's favorite author here, Ashley Antoinette, and I just came to say I vouch for LaMia. Her services at Lethal Red Pen are top-notch. She has edited several manuscripts for me. I've never gotten complaints about errors, grammaticals, storyline inconsistencies. None of that good stuff.
It’s easy to overlook the small stuff when you're the author, but having an editor that you trust is priceless. Definitely check out Lethal Red Pen, five-star service at an amazing price. It doesn't get much better than that.”
