These authors said this about David's editing:
"David is an excellent, thorough, even gifted editor. David did not rest until the text was as good as he could make it, as he likes to say "why do it halfway if you can get it right"? His professionalism was a beautiful surprise. David's rarest quality is finding a way to make a text take on that extra zip. Beyond the editing of mistakes, David worked on the story's inconsistencies, the characters' voices, and many more details that brought the text to another level. I recommend David most heartily, you will consider as lucky as I do today if you work with him." ~ Kim Cox
"David did an exemplary job editing my manuscript. He helped shape my book into a much better story with his amazing advice and guidance. He surpassed all my expectations. His communication was top-notch, he met all deadlines, and his skills were exceptionally strong. I enjoyed working with David and will likely have additional jobs for him in the future." Greg Coonen (who has been offered a publishing deal after David's edit!)
"My development edit was done quickly. David's service was excellent and I received very constructive feedback." ~ Anttimatti Pennanen
"David was great! Feedback was helpful and worth the money! The feedback he provided on the first 10 pages, I’m now applying to the rest of the book." ~ Anna Christine
"I have found David’s comments and feedback very constructive and helpful. He not only highlights areas that may be improved but also offers suggestions that may enrich the story. I was particularly impressed by his insights and links to related information and authors. This helped me view the writing in other contexts and perspectives. Above all I found David’s feedback very encouraging, which is so helpful when entangled in the uncertainties of writing." ~ Chris Before
"The editing service was incredibly valuable! For me, it was the first time I had a professional look at my work. I was nervous but thrilled to have the opportunity. David provides the perfect feedback with kindness and direction. I wish I had the money, and he had the time to go through the entire book. I learned a lot from his edits and I am working to carry them through the remainder on my own." ~ Larae Mitchell
"This is the first time I have used an editor. I was very happy with David’s editing service. He made some valuable suggestions, which I implemented, and I’ve had an idea for adding a little foreshadowing." ~ Thomas Greenbank
"David's critique was helpful. His comments showed he had carefully read my work and his suggestions were thoughtful. He balanced praise and criticism in a way that was not patronizing and gave me insight into other possible approaches to the beginning of my novel. I wouldn't mind working with him again. One of the best critiques I've received to date!" ~ William Kaufmann
"It was a pleasure to work with David and the editing services were great value for money. His feedback was thorough and commercial. It goes without saying that my entry to the PTA is much improved thanks to his efforts. Even if I don't win, the experience has made me really think about the rest of the book and do a ton of rewriting to make it more saleable. I have recommended David to friends and would like to work with him again in the future. David's edits were thorough and focused on making my book more attractive to literary agents. I am impressed by his attention to detail and commercial approach. It has been a great experience simply submitting my work to the Awards, and I feel that what I have learned from it easily justifies the entry fee. Thank you very much for this opportunity." ~ Helen Abbott
"David was very good and extremely helpful, it totally turned my first 3000 words into something that made sense. I now need to work on the rest of my book using his advice and guidance." ~ Mick Crowe
