???This was the first time I had used OWS for editing. I have worked with several other editors in the past so I had a good idea of what sort of service I expected for the price I paid. They lived up to my expectations with fast, efficient, accurate, and good value work. I would highly recommend their editing services to other authors.???

OWS Ink Founders
Stephanie Ayers and Amanda (A.L.) Mabry were partnered up during a writing project nearly 10 years ago. They learned they had much more than just writing in common and bonded right away. Over the years, they have supported each other???s other writing and have grown together. This writing relationship naturally evolved into a dream: to build a writing community that would offer others the support they found in each other. Our Write Side was launched in October of 2015 and has seen incredible growth since. In 2017 the dynamic duo welcomed Heidi Angell to the team, another author who connected with their vision in a visceral way. Together, they are the three musketeers with their big dreams. Amazing things are forthcoming you won’t want to miss out on, so stay tuned.
