Laurie is presently editing our 4 book series. Laurie is not only entirely masterful in her understanding of the written word and how to improve on the "fumblings" of the amateur, she also has a keen sense and understanding of the needs of the writer(s). She has worked with us to correct all of the many literary flaws of this series, and she has worked with integrity and openness to maintain the strength of the protagonist as well as bring voice to all of the other characters. As a professional editor I don't believe we could have asked for more - she has worked tirelessly to support our "baby" and to help bring this series into the world so that the reading audience can appreciate the true value and the message that was intended for this series. Highly recommended!

Hi, my name is Robert Schobernd. I write novels, primarily crime thrillers. Laurie has edited eight stories for me to date and I am pleased with the level of expertise she has shown. She not only reviews the grammar and punctuation of my work, but she also provides excellent critical analysis of my tales and offers suggestions to improve the quality of the finished work. In the near future I plan to use her to edit a series of short stories I'll soon begin writing. I am happy with the working relationship we share and recommend Laurie highly.
