I have known Mike Valentino since 2008. Since that time, I have written six books, and Mike has edited and proofread all of them. I have always found Mike to be easy to work with, knowledgeable, and fair. I will continue to have Mike edit my books as long as I write.

I've been fortunate to have worked with Mike V with my last two books. He's on time, and a consummate professional editor. What's more he avails himself to actually speak on the phone, which is not what happens with other editors. I highly recommend Mike V without any hesitation, he's simply the Best.

I am so grateful that I could work with Mike to publish two books together. His insights, editorial reviews, and encouragement helped me move from two book concepts into two published books. I appreciated his availability and how well he listened to my questions/ideas for both of my book projects. I highly recommend Mike to help any aspiring author translate their ideas into a published book. After we completed both projects, I viewed Mike not only as my editor but also as my friend.
