Dylan Higgins,

author of Rumble Strips.

Lynne was a pleasure to work with and lived up to her promise to protect my protagonist.

 I used Lynne for both a development edit and copywriting edit. As a first-time author, she not only provided the material I needed for me to refine my work, but she also coached me in the craft of writing along the way. 

I appreciated that she kept me honest to my deadlines and it forced me to work through the process. 

Lynne has my highest regards and I look forward to introducing her to my next protagonist.  

Jocelyn Montana, 

author of the Werewolves of Ulterra series.

"I found Lynne on the Romance Writers of America website under recommended services, and she is worth her weight in gold! Not only did she edit my manuscript with the kind of detail I wanted and needed, but she also provided comprehensive reports to assist with my writing going forward, and met with me both pre and post project to discuss the overall work.

This level of attention to detail was exactly what I wanted. I was looking for a partner to help me on my publishing journey (as writers we know it takes an entire team to help us bring our book into the world) and she was exactly what I needed. Not only is my book richer as a result, but I also learned more about my craft so I can continue to advance my writing. I already have recommended Lynne to other writers in my author Facebook and critique groups, and I will continue to recommend Lynne to all authors looking for an editor and partner."

Diana Rock,

author of the Fulton River Falls, the Colby County series, and more.

"Years ago, I won a five page edit, sent my pages off, and cried when a plethora of derogatory comments came back with red ink peppered pages, marks I didn’t understand, and slashed out text. When I went searching for an editor last fall, I knew I didn’t want a repeat of that experience.

The first thing that brought me to Lynne was her training and experience. Then when I met her, her effervescent personality and friendliness made me feel comfortable placing my babies in her hands. I loved that her first question to me was “What is your goal?” 

I love that she meets me face-to-face online to discuss the issues. Some of her recommendations on my first project blew me away. The way they enhanced the story was phenomenal.

 Her attention to detail, her quick turn-around, and her support for my writing and my success is exactly what I was looking for in an editor.

Selecting Lynne was the very best thing I did for my writing." 

Audrey Lynden,

author of The Brit Brothers series.

“Lynne Pearson’s editing expertise transformed my story from good to great. At our first meeting, I knew I was in capable hands. She’s professional, kind, and eloquent. 

Like many writers, I can be overprotective of my words, but I could see the big picture with Lynne's guidance. With her gentle persuasion, I could understand the words through a reader's eyes. Which is so important to me. Readers are the life force for any writer. My job as a writer is entertaining readers and making them turn the pages.

But most importantly, I want to respect their time and let them know how much I appreciate that they’ve given up such a valuable commodity for me and my story. By working with Lynne, I achieved this goal. Every page in every chapter sings beautifully in The Artful Bargain.  

All her editorial recommendations rang true to me. Her most brilliant idea was changing the names of my furry characters. Initially, my two mini dachshunds were called Fred and Ethel, but as they are small dogs that like to dance around everybody’s feet, Lynne suggested Fred and Ginger. How perfect! Already pivotal in the story, Fred and Ginger became the stars in several scenes in the book. 

As I am fond of pop culture, Lynne helped me seamlessly tie in my love of classic movies and TV shows into The Artful Bargain. 

I highly recommend working with Lynne Pearson. She’s a word-slinger extraordinaire.” 

Nikki Long, 

author of Ghost of a Chance, Just Lucky, & Grace Under Pressure 

"Knowledge, humor, and heart are important qualities when choosing an editor.

 From my first conversation with Lynne Pearson, I knew I’d found the person I could entrust with my novels. 

From constructive feedback for making my manuscripts the best they can be, to sharing writers’ resources, to being an all-around great human being, I’m thrilled to have Lynne as my editor." 

 Dawn Ramos,

author of Carpe Diem and Emma's Gift.

"Lynne is my go-to for all things editing. 

I love her ability to adapt to my personal style. 

She gently provides me with constructive feedback that improves the quality of my work. 

Lynne does a great job communicating expectations, keeping to her promised timeline, and most important I trust the integrity of her work. 

As far as I’m concerned, Lynne is the best kept secret in writing. Please don’t tell everyone."
