Introduction: I take great pride having manuscripts entrusted to my "care." Each work is treated as though it were my own, and I treat each client the way I would want to be treated. You will receive friendly, personal attention every time. Most editors charge per read. I work with you until you are happy with the end product. Not only that, I offer full author services from editing to upload to Amazon and other self-publishing platforms. I will work with you to assign ISBN numbers, format your manuscripts, create an author platform/profile, create your book covers, as well as help you with marketing. My goal is your success. I was asked what I love most about my job-absolutely, hands down, the people. I work with so many wonderful, creative people and each has their own way of telling their story, writing a novel, or doing technical work. It is my pleasure to help them and see their work through to publication.

There's so much I can say about Mystic Canyon Publishing. Liane was such a pleasure to work with. She genuinely cares about her clients and their success. I have used her services for 4 of my novels, and she will forever be my editor as long as I continue writing. The edits I received exceeded my expectations, which were thorough beyond belief. Not only did I receive quality work, but the edits were also done quickly. If you are on the ropes about which editor would fit you best, look no further, Liane will not disappoint.

I had a vision for my book. It was a bunch of notes pertaining too different topics. I didn't know how I would make it work but Liane and her brilliance found a way. I am so happy I decided to pick her as my editor. She has a passion for writing as we would text about my book late at night. She not only wants to get the job done but will challenge herself to she what she can produce which is a phenomenal mentality. She is not dogmatic with her recommendations and leaves it up to the author for the final decision. You won't regret working with her as she brought my vision to fruition!!! Patience is the key as Quality is better than Quantity

Details: Editing • Writing • Formatting and fact checking • Non-fiction manuscripts • Non-profit • 50,000 - 100,000 words • A single project • Phone or internet (no in-person meeting) • I travel to the writer • The writer travels to me

Thank you Jerald. It was a pleasure working with you and seeing your dream come true. Yes, it took us a while, but in this case, we needed to be absolutely sure it was the book you wanted and the message you wanted your readers to get. Congratulations on completing your first book!!!!

I LOVED everything about working with Edit-Expert Liane Laroque; I almost can't recommend her editing services highly enough without sounding like I'm a paid advertiser (I'm not!) When I went searching online for a new editor I was at a point where I'd already been working on my book for close to a decade and getting nowhere. Finding Liane online was like winning the lottery or finding a golden editing needle in a giant world wide web haystack. Not only did she do an awesome job editing my book (she has an uncanny ability to make everything I write sound and flow so much better without really changing all that much, so it all still sounds 'like me'), but she also did an amazing job patiently coaching me through finishing writing it. I was writing myself in circles pre-Liane. Now I have a beautiful finished book that I'm super proud of. She's seriously awesome. Note: if you find any grammatical or punctuation errors in this review- please ignore them, I didn't ask Liane to edit this for me before posting). Tee Hee.

Dear Holly: Thank you for the amazing review. You aren't giving yourself enough credit though! You worked hard to get your book out and the information is so vital to good health. Keep me posted and remember, I'm always here for you! Liane
