"Janet and I have been working for only a few months, and already, her suggestions have vastly improved my writing. Her editing and comments are spot on. What a difference! Her individual instruction allows me to see how to change sentences from passive to active, where to cut and why, showing versus telling--things I obviously didn't see on my own. She helps me with character motivation and development, conversation, coming up with original phrases--whatever needs work. Each week has been a real eye-opener. I'm very encouraged and plan to continue on. I highly recommend her services. She is top-notch!"
- Stephen Steighner, Author

Janet Williams writer

Hire a "10"

During a busy time, I brought Janet in to help me edit a few manuscripts. I pride myself on doing meticulous work, and expect the same from anyone I hire. Janet, an excellent writer, was a '10' on all counts, identifying and correcting errors in syntax, punctuation, and spelling, as well as noting rough spots in the narratives and smoothing them over. She was creative, a fresh pair of eyes, a good communicator, and mindful of returning all work comfortably ahead of deadlines. Janet was also very helpful in detailing important, up-to-date aspects of e-book publication information important to me and my clients. I continue to use her services and happily recommend her."

- Lois Winsen, Editor-on-tap
