  "A heartfelt thank-you for your wonderful work editing my manuscript. You made my first attempt at writing a book a great confidence builder. The only person I may need to thank more than you is my friend, who recommended you to me! It was important for me to work with someone that I could feel supremely comfortable with on this before I went either to my peers for a review or to a random publishing agency. My standards of comfort were met the instant we spoke with each other over the phone. You were then able to take my rather complex, insider subject matter and instantly relate to both the content and my intent for how and what I wanted to communicate to my expected target audience. You turned around 39,000 words in half the expected time with very clear products, including overall notes for consideration and both a marked-up and clean copy of the edited text. Finally, and most appreciatively, you went beyond mere editing services by recommending some possible next steps towards publishing, when I was clueless."

Without hesitation, Andrew answered the call, worked tirelessly on the materials, and produced a result that far exceeded our expectations.

There are a lot of editing services out there and it is difficult to know which is the best, especially for new authors. I feel fortunate that I found your Web site. You were so easy to work with and you did an excellent job. I really value your professional and candid opinion and I also look forward to working with you on future endeavors."

Novel and Screenwriting Experience
Like most writers, Andrew has a creative side, which has manifested itself in a novel that has attracted the attention of a New York agent and several screenplays that have, between them, achieved:

• Two "considers" from Hollywood production companies.
• A final ten placing in the People's Picture Show screenwriting competition.
• A quarterfinal placing in the Scriptapalooza screenwriting competition.
• A top 10% place in the most prestigious competition of them all, the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.

And although Andrew has helped many screenwriters with their work on an uncredited basis, he is a credited script consultant on two movies to date:

Hidden Shadows
and
Emergence

His own scripts have also gleaned a number of flattering comments from industry professionals, including this one from a Hollywood producer:

"[The script] is very entertaining and well written, both structurally and stylistically. Either you have a rare natural talent for screenwriting or have been studying it extensively (or both!), because it is far better than nearly everything I have read ..."

"There is absolutely nothing here to insult a reader. I found no typos - an outstanding achievement, demonstrating attention to detail. Important! ... It sets an example that amateurs and pros alike can learn from. Bravo!"

This understanding of both the creative and technical processes involved in writing enables Andrew to provide exceptionally intuitive work for authors and screenwriters.

Although still writing in his spare time, Andrew enjoys helping others perfect their work while he waits for that call from Mr. Spielberg!

Education
Andrew Randall was educated at St. Benedict's, one of the finest private schools in West London, England. Consequently, he is able to edit in both UK and American English. (Quirky British-ism: This type of exclusive private school - like Eton and Harrow - is actually called a "Public School" in England. Don't ask!)

The school has educated many fine scholars, scientists, politicians, athletes and artists, and is proud to include among its alumni, or "Old Boys," as they're known locally (Yes, even the ladies!):

Because of its sterling reputation, the school also attracts the offspring of many celebrities.

Older readers may remember the singer Matt Monro, whose son attended the school when Andrew was there, as did the son of Sir Henry Cooper, whom sports fans will remember as the first boxer to knock down Muhammad Ali.

Andrew also shared desk space at the school with Matthew Bannister, son of the actor Trevor Bannister, who is known to American audiences as "Mr. Lucas" from the BBC comedy Are You Being Served?
