“I’m grateful for her work.”

Linda’s meticulous read saved me from myself at numerous points in her editing. She’s not only professional but also brings authentic passion to the task of making a writer’s pages shine. I’m grateful for her work.

“I’ll be back!”

Linda is a pleasure to work with. She delivers on time, her proofreading and style sheets are meticulous, her comments are clear and straightforward, and communicating with her is easy. I’ll be back!

“She never changed my voice.”

I had the opportunity to work with Linda on my recent book, To Dance, To Live: A Biography of Thalia Mara, and it was an absolute pleasure. Linda returned the manuscript within two weeks‘ time as promised, and her edits and comments were easy to track and respond to. She was an excellent first outside reader, asking relevant questions, correcting variations in spelling, and suggesting footnotes for additional clarity and information. She has a delicate touch, meaning she never changed my voice, but smoothed out phrasing that might have been awkward or unclear to the reader. She definitely will be my preferred copy editor for future work. I highly recommend Linda to writers seeking exceptionally skilled and meticulous copyediting.

“Linda completely calmed my nerves.”

Linda not only did an outstanding mechanical edit but made several editorial suggestions that improved the overall flow and feel of the narrative. As this was my first book, I was very nervous about delivering a perfect final product to the University Press of Mississippi. Linda completely calmed my nerves. She was extremely prompt, answered all my questions, and was flexible in working with my schedule. I highly recommend Linda for your editorial needs!

“Would highly recommend!”

Linda was amazing! She caught the tiniest of mistakes while proofreading and editing. She also went out of her way to ensure that the material matched a specific style guide and cross-referenced multiple items. She was very on top of communication and always got things back to me quickly. Would highly recommend!
