I’m a published author, and everything I ever write will always and forever need an editor. Lisa is fantastic!!!! She offers different levels of service depending on what you want and need. Her fluency in written language and rules of written language is incredible. I am so glad to have reached out to her, as she is doing a fantastic job editing my work and respecting my written voice.

I ran a rough draft for a novel by Lisa for a review, and she introduced me to some of the structural aspects of writing novels, that they almost always follow particular patterns. I read several books and websites she provided to me and found them very helpful, very interesting. (I had some knowledge of the existence of such patterns. One was an early first exposure years ago when I read Dennis MacDonald’s The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark where the author showed how much the gospel writers relied on the structure and stories found in the Homeric Epics.) I’ll be working with Lisa again soon and recommend others do so, too.
