TESTIMONIALS:
"I’m pretty sure I’d be lost without Chelle. From a blurb to a tagline to copyedits, I trust her fully and completely with helping to make my work shine. It’s obvious from her professionalism, passion, and dedication to her work that she loves what she does, and that’s why I adore working with her. I can’t recommend her enough!" ~USA Today Bestselling Author Stacey Kennedy
"Chelle is a lifesaver. I had been floundering before I met her, going from editor to editor until I found the person who fit my words. She not only is an amazing and professional editor, she truly understands the author's voice and dives in wholeheartedly to make the book shine. She works tirelessly to ensure we meet our deadlines--even when she sometimes doesn't get a heads-up--and is pure talent. I don't know where my books would be without her determination to ensure my novels are as perfect as they could be." ~New York Times Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan
"I've had several works edited by Chelle and have to say her attention to detail is excellent. She is professional, thorough and yet skilled at not changing the voice of an author, merely improving it." ~ New York Times Bestselling Author Eve Langlais
"One of the things I learned in this business is that you have to have great people on your team - and Chelle is certainly that. She's done copy edits, blurbs, and bibles for me. There's no one else I'd trust with so much. She's honest, dependable, professional, and goes above and beyond. Chelle is truly one of a kind." ~New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Donna Grant
