I certainly would recommend. As well as a scrupulous and swift reading of my text, Julie maintained contact with me every time I needed it, and at times when I did not realise I needed it.

I was particularly grateful for her firm but careful observations on paragraphing and structure, as well as ensuring that the general thrust of the book was maintained.

You can expect from Julie both a voice and a ready ear: she is always ready to exchange views and observations, having a clear policy herself while acknowledging - after discussion - that the ultimate authority lies, naturally, with the author.

Julie edited and formatted two of my books. This recommendation adds in agreement to the other reviews on her website. She has been consistently supportive. I didn't feel pushed or rushed - which was important to me.

Julie's (numerous!) comments and critical assessment of my draft manuscript were quite an eye-opener, and l've improved on my own writing thanks to this.

For sure, by the time I'd gotten sent my finished copies. My next manuscript is already in her inbox. ;)

Definitely try Julie's sample edit first. It was this that helped me to decide she was right for me and my book. For me, it was important to have an editor that would empathise with my lesfic genre. She gave me such a lot of helpful advice and tips to improve my writing that it felt like a masterclass.

Great value. Efficient, friendly, and accomodating. Her "try me first" offer was the hook that drew me in. MY ONLY COMPLAINT? I wish I'd found Julie sooner for my first three books!

A positive experience. Julie has a great mix of humor and professionalism in her approach. She understood the flavor of my "friends-to-lovers" story, and she tidied up my (numerous) scrappy, long-winded sentences, and offered some great alternative words and descriptions. I hadn't even realized I WAS missing commas in speech until now. (HAHA!) I would 100% recommend.

Always get a sample edit done first. Julie is transparent in her editing approach. My previous editor would suggest ideas, yet I sometimes struggled to grasp their meaning or intent. Julie's editing comes with modelled examples (and explanations) to illustrate the possibilities for improving.

Making a suggestion is one thing, but showing by example through the tracking changes was great. Of course, it was always my call to keep, adapt or ditch Julie's edits, but in truth, she suggested ideas and showed how it might 'look' in ways I wouldn't have considered. This level of input might not suit all writers, but for me, this was helpful.

I agree with all the comments on here. It seems that nothing is too much trouble. It was a pleasure working with Julie. She was so helpful and patient with all my weird and wonderful questions. My next task is to get her to do the cover and editing for my next book.

Julie is friendly, flexible, and very easy to work with. I've recommended her to other authors. It's super-helpful that she has the ability to cover all three aspects of the publishing process. She did the editing, formatting and proofread my story and she interpreted the vision for the book cover.
She even took time to send me some super- helpful notes to help with my character point of view. Skilled and talented. Thank you.

Thank you again. I've had such a great experience. I don't know if it's a universal approach, but your after-edit check-ins, to find out how things are progressing is a welcome touch. 😀

Nah! Don't be fooled. Julie doesn't 'just' edit. She goes the extra mile: copy, line, proof ... she even chucked in developmental gems for good measure! Professional, accommodating, she genuinely seems to care about and take pride in what she does. I'll be using her in the future.

A positive and productive experience from start to finish. Julie is professional, skillful and thorough. I highly recommend her and will certainly look forward to using Julie again.

Dear Julie,

The cover looks amazing! I've set up my ebook and paperback for their debut launch. You have done an amazing job with the whole production. Having the artistic talent, as well as the skillset to produce the final print and ebook is the unique cherry on the top of the cake that most editors don't have the ability to offer. Bravo!
