Bio
Jim Sharon
I hired Sue and her team to shepherd and copy-edit an anthology that I compiled this year. During the eight hours in which Sue consulted with me, I felt that she consistently answered my questions concisely and well, and was very personable in the process. In short, I found Sue to be a very competent and professional writing coach, who thoroughly knows her field. I derived considerable value from my work with her and would highly recommend her for any and all areas of the self-publishing process, including post-publishing marketing and sales.

Dan Auito
Sue is by far the most professional Editor and constructive content consultant that I have ever worked with, her ability to take a good manuscript and make it a superior one is unparalleled. I recommend Sue to many authors and use her for every project in book writing and content creation that I do, phenomenal integrity and professionalism is an understatement, there is no one better in my personal opinion. She is as good as it gets! Period. Dan Auito CEO: www.magicbullets.com

Sue edited my first book and has edited numerous articles for one of my websites. It was hard to select three attributes that characterize Sue and her work because all of them apply equally. What I most like is her ability to edit my work in a way that keeps my voice intact. If I do not go back and specifically look for her edits, I do not know where they are most of the time, my work sounds like I wrote it, only smoother. I highly recommend Sue.
