After giving Karen my full manuscript, she did exactly what I asked her to, She even went above and beyond my expectations. She gave me suggestions on author platforms (not included in my project) plus many additional references as to where to go for help and what books to read to help me with my writing. After looking at the manuscript with her suggestions and corrections, I was blown away. She had so many suggestions and was very honest with me (like I asked her to be). I would recommend Karen and plan on using her services again for my future books I plan to write, after I get this one perfect!. Thank you Karen for all your hard work and professionalism, you rock!

Karen was so helpful with suggestions that I didn't even ask for. She completed my sample edit in time, her editing skills will be so helpful for my full manuscript. I look forward to a long working relationship with Karen!

The project deadline that was given was very tight and specific to the project. The deadline was met exceptionally well, additional work was provided that was not requested. The writer took the time to understand the project and ask what was required, there were problems getting the images to the writer and she was very easy to work with and patient while we fixed internal technical problems
