What my clients say about me...
"CJ has edited two of my novels, making significant improvements to the manuscripts on both occasions. She’s very easy to deal with and has a professional attitude, always meeting deadlines, and clearly takes pride in her work. She works quickly but is thorough, giving me confidence that my writing will be the best it can be. She’s already booked to edit my next novel and I suspect I’ll have to get in early to make sure she can do the one after."
David Beckler, author of the Antonia Conti trilogy for Thomas & Mercer and the Mason and Sterling series.
"I write the books. CJ makes them come alive with her magic. CJ has very high standards and is a pleasure to work with. Long may our publishing relationship continue."
Dave Armstrong, life coach and author of 7 Rules to a Good Life.
"I really couldn't have gained my success so far, without your awesome editing, CJ. Huge thanks for doing such a thorough edit of my novel. You have made it a much better book! Looking forward to working with you again soon."
JF Burgess, indie author of the best-selling DI Tom Blake crime series.
"I spent three years on the novel and to be honest I was sick to death of it. But I accepted basically all your changes and recommendations, and then read through it again. And the novel came alive. I absolutely loved it. You are a marvel. You will always be my editor."
Elliott Fassbinder, author of A Stormful of Pickles, currently seeking a traditional publisher
The services I provide: developmental editing, editorial reports, copyediting, proof-editing, proofreading, fiction critiques, creative writing, book coaching, editing of submission packages and book-marketing copy, blurbs and book descriptions, authenticity reader (sensitivity reader) in the fields of disability and mental health.
