Joanne worked on three of my books, copyediting them individually, while keeping in mind that they would be a trilogy in their final form. She was fully understanding and respectful of the heavy literary license I employed in the writing due to the nature of the work. Her turnaround time was excellent and the suggested corrections she provided enhanced the story in both content and clarity. I learned quite a few things from working with Joanne and I look forward to using her services in the future. Highly recommended.
