Skilled Copy Editing
Adam MacKinnon, author of Romantic About Baseball and Baseball for Kids
“You can get anybody to make sure you put a comma in the right place. What you don’t often get is someone who offers impeccable attention to detail, knowledge of formatting and language, and most importantly, an inquisitive nature to ensure that your product is the best it can be. This is exactly what Louise has brought to everything I’ve thrown at her. She is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing to use her services.”
Catharine Maloney, daughter of Judge Frank Maloney
“Louise helped my father get his memoirs in order. For accuracy, she researched legal terms, locations from the Korean war, and sayings from the ’30s and ’40s. She pored over his book for grammar and punctuation. It meant a lot to him to have the book before he passed away. Louise was speedy and professional, communicating with him each step of the way.
Louise also helped me prepare his obituary. She has experience working for a newspaper’s obituary department and helped me make the obituary sound personal. I sincerely appreciated her help and how quickly she edited the document for us. She is kind and caring, and I highly recommend her to everyone!”
Sarah Wallace, author of
Backwards
“I was incredibly fortunate to retain Louise’s editorial services. Louise is a compassionate and highly skilled editor who truly wants her clients to succeed. Her manuscript critique was insightful, constructive, and very helpful for refining and improving my first novel. Her line edit caught many typos I’d missed, and she was generous to include a second round “spot check” at no extra charge. Her prices are more than fair, and I really look forward to working with her again in future.”
Kaya Luchs, author of
The Cats and The Dogs
“All of Louise’s insights, advice, comments, and edits—they were important for my book and important for my personal development as an author. She was really a great help to me.”
Crystal Roberts, author of
God Knows Your Measure
“Louise is the best! Her turnaround time was very reasonable. She edited in a way that didn’t take away from the overall meaning or flow of my book. Her response time is top notch! She was the fine tuning I needed, and I am thankful to God that I stumbled upon her information. Thanks, Louise, a millions times over; without you, I wouldn’t have gained the confidence to publish and launch my book, and the peace of having done so.”
Everett Ratzel, author of
Journal of a Clearer
“As a new author, I was helped tremendously by all of Louise’s input. She gave time frames when I had no idea what to expect, and kept her word for every deadline and expectation. I can’t thank her enough for her help and professionalism.”
John Rickmon, author of
A Confluence is the Junction of Two Rivers
“Louise is communicative, engaging, thorough, and insightful. This was my first time using a professional editor, and I was thrilled with the result. I recommend Louise for any and all projects, and will most assuredly use her again. The work is better due to her involvement, and I would urge you to submit your own work to her.”
Brian Kinney, author of
Quack Attack
“I am a first time author. The manuscript critique that Louise provided was the dispassionate perspective that I needed to fine tune my manuscript. She did not hold back on the weaknesses of my manuscript and was equally clear on the strengths of my writing. Very helpful feedback and I have no hesitation in recommending her for your project.”
