"Editing has never been so fun and easy! Lynne is a true master at her craft. Her attention to detail and her eye for style and flow are beyond anyone I have worked with. It is nice to move onto publishing with confidence! Thank you Lynne!"

"I was referred to Lynne by an editor friend of mine who had heard good things about her. My friend was right. Lynne has a quick turn-around time and has a great eye for detail. I was so impressed with her skills that I have commissioned her to edit three more full-length contemporary romances that I will be publishing this fall. I’d recommend Lynne to anyone that is looking for a talented editor.”
Anne Shaw,
author of My Rakish Duke; The Eccentric Earl; Quarterback Sneak; Vegas Baby

"Working with Lynne was by far one of the best decisions I've made since starting my journey as a writer. I've written my first women's fiction novel and unfortunately have run into individuals that were less than honest about the services they provided which cost me time and money. Lynne is thankfully NOT one of those individuals. I truly enjoyed working with her and I feel she provides a service that is more than worth it. She has a great habit of finding my blind spots and suggesting ways to fill in the blanks. She's also excellent at bringing the reader into the full sensory experience by adding elements I hadn't thought of. If you're thinking of working with her, DO IT! You'll be glad you did! I know I'll be coming back after I've written book two in the series."
Angel Hilson,

"Lynne was indispensable in helping me move forward with my first manuscript. I contacted Lynne when I found myself going in circles, unable to create new scenes or expand on my characters. I knew my characters needed rounding out and that my external conflicts were weak. Lynne made constructive suggestions and gave me "what if" scenarios to boost my imagination. She saw the possibilities of where my story could go, and focused on how to improve it to a publishable level. She not only wrote four pages of critiques and ideas, but sat down with me for an hour and discussed them in detail. I came away with the motivation to dive into the revision process with fresh ideas and a renewed confidence."

"Lynne was my editor, and I loved saying that, for my first nonfiction book Three. I appreciated her thorough process from the very beginning. She was quick to respond, accurate, and made wonderful suggestions. I could contact Lynne about anything and she would review everything I sent her way. Because of her process, I was able to locate problems with names and people in Three that needed a change. This is not a small task with a 346 page novel. Lynne made everything easy for me and even handled formatting issues with my designer Mike Inks. The entire editing process was perfect and Lynne was terrific. Thank you Lynne!

"I needed someone to edit my manuscript on two levels: for plot/character/pacing and also for grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Lynne took the time to go through my book, flag the “speed bumps” that would pull a reader out of the narrative and suggest possible alternatives, as well as note errors in mechanics. She was easy to work with and my novel is stronger for her expertise. Thanks, Lynne!”

"Lynne not only has solid credentials, she brings her expertise as a voracious reader of young adult literature. She provides detailed line edits and gives expert support in identifying the positive aspects of the draft and what needs more attention. She is not looking for where the commas go, she is more interested in what a comma says."

"The path to many a fine novel inevitably runs through an editor. Lynne's note to detail on my first effort provided valuable insight/suggestions as well as properly cleaning up all those little things I had unwittingly overlooked. Her effort contributed greatly in making my work publishable. I look forward to working with her again in the future."

"Lynne did an excellent job editing my YA novel, Chasing Nirvana. Not only did Lynne comb through the manuscript for period details, geography, timeline, and vernacular continuity, as well as the usual grammar and typos, she suggested reordering scenes and honing dialogue. It made all the difference. I'm already talking to Lynne about my next manuscript."

"Lynne's professionalism and valid suggestions made me stand back from my manuscript with an objective eye and make it better. Offering subtle changes and finding obvious flaws, she has coaxed the best from me. I appreciated her care and understanding of my characters. I will definitely use her service again and wholeheartedly recommend her!"
