“I had never worked with a professional editor before I asked for Priscilla Barton’s help with my second novel. Her work and its positive effects on my book exceeded my expectations by far. She spotted snags in the plot line, helped me flesh out my characters, gave tips for tightening and sharpening my prose, and spotted technical glitches. I felt she genuinely cared about my writing and wanted it to be the best it could be. During our work together she was sensitive, kind, and tactful. Add those qualities to her superb skills, and you have the ideal editor. I know it’s a cliché, but I couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Priscilla, you are amazing! I normally use three different editors to help me produce what I received from you. Along every step of the way you made my manuscript more coherent and enjoyable. You helped me feel that I had the creativity to write, but it was your knowledge and experience that changed my writing into an excellent read. And your up-to-date use of style and grammar was superb. You are the one person to turn to for all my editing needs.”
