Testimonials

"Bailey did an amazing job recognizing the weaker places in the novel while still allowing the voice of the piece to shine through. She was always responsive and available and she took the time to not only thoroughly read the manuscript on a technical level but also to truly understand it thematically. I strongly recommend her expertise to anyone who wishes to improve their skills, and I plan to continue to utilize her services for all of my future projects."
-Adam Kowal, co-author of Soottown

"Bailey was extremely thorough in her editing of my book ‘The Two Fathers,’ but what separates her from other editors was her willingness to work with us even after the editing responsibilities were completed. She was always ready to revisit the work and answer any questions as well as even offer direction in response to questions about other topics referring to publishing. Her consistent meeting of deadlines was also greatly appreciated as was her making us feel appreciated and respected. Bailey is certainly number one on our list of editors."
-Jon Imme, author of The Two Fathers

"Bailey is everything you could ask for as a manuscript evaluator. She will view it with both the practiced eye of an editor looking to improve it and the eye of a reader looking for enjoyment. She'll be able to give you some great feedback on structural issues and a better idea of how your manuscript will be perceived by the reader. I will be using her services for future projects and encourage you to do the same."
-Dena Crawford-Nibler, author of The Darkest of Portland Series

-Roberta Tracy, author of Zig Zag Woman

"[Bailey's] developmental editing was thorough and I really appreciated how she would point out small things that she liked or didn't liked. This really helped me understand the small details that make a book professional and become a better writer. I also appreciated the effort and consistency she placed on the proofreading, I've learned a lot from Bailey's comments and her work added great value to my book. She definitely exceeded my expectations."
-Anthony Walsh, author of People Are Lying to You About Money
