What My Authors Say
A few kind words from the talented authors I’ve been honored to work alongside
“Janice offered a comprehensive evaluation. She was able to point out issues with dialogue and provide resources to assist me. Also, I loved how she truly got into my characters’ heads to make sure I maintained a consistent tone. It was a pleasure working with her.”
“I’d never worked with a substantive editor before. You were more like a coach, spending more time explaining your points, teaching me good principles I could memorize, and working back and forth on specific issues. In the areas where line editing and substantive editing overlapped, I appreciated the slight difference in things you zeroed in on.”
“Though Jan and I never met in person, working with her over the last year on both my initial edit and the copy edit has been a pleasure. Her graciousness and patience with me made her a trusted resource. She in encouraging, corrective, and informative, which are great character traits to have in an editor. I am sure to seek her on my next book!”
