Teresa did a great job editing my first children's picture book. She helped me with the wording and the flow of the story. I would recommend her to anyone needing an editor.

I am a fantasy writer who has just completed his first book. I tried to find someone I felt I could partner up with for a long term relationship. Teresa has done a great job so far. She has completed three chapters at a time in a timely manner and at a fair cost. All of us authors know how difficult it is to find a good editor at a fair price. Teresa has even been patient with me when we had a mix up which I reacted poorly in which was the fault of technology. I have 15-20 books planned and will be using Teresa or the foreseeable future.
