Client Reviews
"First and foremost, THANK YOU!!!!!! Your work was exactly what I needed. You did amazing fixing my grammar and sentence structure. And all of the story structure and continuity suggestions were spot on."
—Janet Patkowa, author of Impossible Thing: My Journey to Becoming Ultra
"It was a fantastic experience working with Gail! Her timely edits were precise and on point, and she made great recommendations on book structure. She must have ESP because her structural comments covered most of my unasked concerns. Her feedback was honest but sensitive to the overall theme of the book. I could tell that she put a lot of thought into her work, and I look forward to working with her again."
—Michael Warner, author of Palette and Pen: The Days of Charles Whitfield Richards
"Wow! Gail really improved the quality of my book! She has a great eye and memory for inconsistencies, confusions, changes in voice . . . basically everything you'd want in a copy editor. In addition, she was easy to work with, nice, and thorough in her communications. Highly recommended!"

"Trauma and Tenacity in Vietnam: A Surgeon's Story has finally been published through CreateSpace.

Thank you!"
