Testimonials from my amazing authors!

“As a debut author, the publishing industry can be really intimidating and Janet held my hand through it all.

She has such a detailed eye when it comes to editing and her understanding of the industry helped to position my first book so that it could get a book deal.

Janet has helped me edit a number of manuscripts since then and her fresh perspective has allowed me to clarify my message and to get it as succinct as possible to give it the best chance.

Her feedback is always so informative and delivered in such a kind and compassionate way that it empowers and motivates me to keep writing!

I couldn't recommend working with Janet more.”

​“Working with Janet was so much fun from start to finish.

She was my first editor and steered me gently yet confidently through the immense process of authoring two books in one year! She has an infectious enthusiasm, which always made me look forward to our meetings.

Janet’s feedback on my submissions and early drafts were also the perfect balance of encouragement and insightfulness. I always feel that she respected my voice as an author while guiding me towards growing and maturing the ways I conveyed my ideas. 

Her background and training also gave me an assurance that my work would be read with understanding and appreciation.

I highly recommend working with Janet, and can’t imagine a better guide to the writing process!”

“Janet is such a pleasure to work with.

She writes thoughtful, detailed, extremely accessible editorial notes that immediately get to the heart of a book, and she simply seems to “get” whatever my  intentions are and instinctively understands how to work with them in a really productive, collaborative way to make the work the best it can be.

Having worked with Janet on four of my books, I know that she has a keen sense of the market and what agents are looking for. She’s one of my favorite people to work with and I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a talented editor!”

From the beginning, she was incredibly friendly, professional, and responsive, always quick to address my questions and concerns. Her respectful and meticulous approach to my manuscript was evident, treating it with the utmost care and dedication.

Not only did she provide invaluable insights that significantly enhanced my work, but her encouragement throughout the process was incredibly motivating. Her detailed notes within the document made navigating and implementing changes seamless and straightforward.

Her expertise and supportive attitude made a world of difference in bringing my book to its best possible form.

​"Just finished final edits for my first book and I could not be more happy.

Janet was so easy to work with and really listened when I told her what I was going for with my storyline.

Instead of trying to change my story, she helped me to fix it. Her suggestions were spot on and her notes were easy to follow. Finally an editor who actually listens!

As this is my first book, I'm a little picky. I've worked with various editors before I found Janet, and let me tell you, they can be brutal. But Janet is a sweet girl who seems to genuinely care about her authors. 

I look forward to working with her on my next book.

Thanks Janet."
