Testimonials
“As a first
time author, I needed a lot of guidance to take my first novel from dream to
reality. I found Karen to be thorough, sensitive, concise and professional
at all times. I would not have been able to write and publish my book
without her.”
- Cheryl Jackson Poules, author of The Empaths of
Drayon
“Karen
challenged me to make necessary changes without asking me to forsake my
voice and that was really important to me. She was not only a “nuts and
bolts” editor when it came to punctuation and grammar, but she took a
genuine interest in the flow and content. ”
- Tricia Woods-Dampier, author of Some of My Best
Friends Are Beauty Queens
“You have made a
HUGE difference in my life. My realization is that before you, I was a
storyteller – now I feel like I’m on the path to being a real author.”
- Liz Beerman, author of Beached
"Wow! What an "eagle eye!" Now we know we don't have to worry about
typos or mistakes whenever anyone reads our book!"
- Chuck Stump, author of the award-winning MAD SAD GLAD book
series.
"I
can’t tell you how impressed I am with what you did with my query letter. It
sounds so much better. Thank you."
- Bertie Stroup Marah, Award-winning artist, and author of A Silk Purse
from a Sow's Ear
"We could not have
published our book without the terrific team we were so fortunate to have
assembled and you were the first part of this process. Many thanks."
- Janet J. Seahorn, Ph.D. & E. Anthony Seahorn, MBA, 2009 1st Place
EVVY award winning authors of Tears of
a Warrior

amazing job. I look forward to working more intensely with you on my
next book."

"It is refreshing to work with someone
that is all about the writing. It's finally nice to work with a true
grammar professional."
- Electra Ford, Virtual Office Center
"Excellent work. I
like the flow. It’s sharp, crisp and didn’t lose any part of the message. I
was captivated reading it. I’m very comfortable that you seem to know where
I’m going with my articles or text. Your work enhances and strengthens what
I have written."
- Richard Villasana, The Mexico Guru
"Your
proofreading is very helpful. You caught a lot of things that will save us a
lot of embarrassment. Thanks for your excellent work."
- Tom Bengtson, Publisher
"Thank you for your editing, Karen. I
truly appreciate your talents and your sharing them with me."
- Carole Billingham, MMC, Realtor/Business Coach
"You do
wonderful work! It is a huge weight off my
mind to know I am putting something I have worked so hard on in the hands
of someone who is capable, efficient and thorough."
- Mike Mataraza
Motivational Speaker
"Karen's editing goes
above and beyond the normal editing expectations. Not only did she
look for grammatical errors in my
e-book, but she made invaluable suggestions on how to improve the content.
Thanks to her, I got a compliment from a reader stating that she had read
the whole book and did not find one grammatical error. Thanks Karen!"
- Patty Benton
Author/Coach
