Praise from Publishers and Authors
"This experience has been more than pleasurable. I couldn't ask for more out of an editor. Like most aspiring authors, I have big plans for my project, but there were a couple parts of my manuscript that made me
wince when I thought about them. I hoped they'd be buffed out in editing and they certainly were. I have more confidence in my work now and can proudly represent it wherever I go. Thanks!"
Leighton Campbell, The Other Way: Guide to a Financially Successful Graduation
"What a wonderful way to live your life...sharing with others. May God bless you
greatly with what you do for others."
Dale Dorris
“Thanks, Gary. You are a wizard!”
Bill Adams, What Does It All Mean?
“I just looked over your critique and was very impressed. I'd like to resubmit it for your editorial review again once fully revised with the intent of having it meet your standards (as I believe you know what you're talking about). Once again, I was impressed with the quality of the critique. It was exactly what I was looking for!”
Byron James, The Self-Writing Script
"Thanks again for the great job."
Susan Coppola, Bravo Zulu
“Thank you so much for your contribution to Catch!
May you cast your net upon life’s opportunities that await you.”
Cyndi Crowther, Catch!
"I'm glad I ran across you on Preditors & Editors. Up till now, everyone has just said "I like it, only it needs some editing." Who can learn from that? I don't have the time to go back to school so I have to use other resources. All I wanted was someone to review and give real criticism. You've done that (but you're still too nice about it).
Walter Simmons, The Next Chosen
“Thanks for your great efforts to make me look good. I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Your talent and expertise are very much appreciated. You’re the best!”
Marty Thompson, autograph in Flying For Peanuts
"I love Gary! He's a great editor!"
Robyn Rogers, Use Your Words
"Thanks for your fine editing on William Valtos' La Magdalena. Since his last book
was made into a film, keep your fingers crossed for this one!"
Rebecca Williamson, Hampton Roads Publishing
"Thank you! I really enjoy working with you."
Jeanette Fisher, www.JoytotheHome.com
“You did an outstanding job creating the 10, 25, and 50 word promotional descriptions for our www.authorsandexperts.com site.”
Linda Radke, Authors and Experts
“Please accept my appreciation for your efforts in so carefully assessing my novel. All made sense, and I'll do exactly as you recommend. If there's any way to make your comments part of my promotional plan, I would like to know how to do that.”
Jimmy Fox, Lineage and Lies
