Happy Clients

"Working with Paula as my book editor was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was a true professional who not only paid close attention to every detail, but also provided valuable insight and suggestions that improved the overall quality of my book. She was always prompt in responding to my inquiries and made sure to thoroughly address all of my concerns. Paula truly has a gift for editing and her passion for her work shines through in every interaction. I felt confident in her abilities and appreciated her supportive and positive approach to our collaboration. I would highly recommend Paula to anyone looking for a top-notch editor who truly cares about their clients and their work. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and can say with certainty that it was an amazing experience."  
-Amy Houck
When I decided to publish a digital book of poetry for the first time, I had no idea really what was involved. Paula helped with the whole effort - from critiquing my work, to walking me thru the self publishing process. When I finally decided to make printed copies, she took care of that for me as well. She is very thorough and easy to work with on projects like these.  I recommend using her for all your editing needs!
-Tiffany Overton
"I had my 300 page manuscript critiqued by Paula. I HIGHLY recommend her services. With a fine eye for detail, she picked up on things I'd overlooked. She advises you on the strength / weaknesses of plot, characters, chapters, etc, and provides suggestions and constructive criticism on the material overall. Once she had returned my manuscript, she continued to answer any further queries I had. Paula was professionally prepared with a printable handout attachment which I was able to use to review all of her points carefully. You can also send her individual questions on what you'd like help with on your work. You will not be disappointed with her services. "
