Client Accolades
Barbara is thorough, professional, timely, and an absolute joy to work with!
—Christopher V.
I have only positive things to say about Barbara. She was very thorough and worked with the chapters sent in two batches and not in order. The most positive compliment I can give is that I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was quick and very helpful, making suggestions and changes that I will use without a doubt.
—Nancie A.
I cannot recommend Barbara enough. My manuscript is now considerably tightened and polished, something that I could not of done myself. I have learnt so much through working with Barbara. Quick turnaround and lot of suggestions on how to make my book look more professional.
