Testimonial
I adore Happily Editing Anns! They are the secret weapon for polishing my novels to a gleaming, publishable shine. They are prompt and personable and oh so wise. I love working with them!
- Brenda Lowder, author of A-List Kiss
The Happily Editing Anns are a blast to work with! They are knowledgeable, professional, and provide exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for. They look at things from multiple angles to make sure that whatever project I am working on is the best that it can be. If you are looking for an editorial team that will always put your best interest first, look no further than these two ladies!
- Claire Hastings, author of Indigo Royal series
Before I found the Happily Editing Anns, I paid a lot more money for editing services and still that book was published with errors. These ladies are detailed yet have an eye on the overall pacing, story arcs, and continuity, a rarity among editors. I will be using their services from now on!
- Karla M. Jay ~ It Happened in Silence
I am grateful each and everytime I write that I found the Anns! They take my work and polish it, allowing my story to shine and preventing readers from getting hung up on my horrible grammar! They help ensure my story is consistent throughout and remind me of little details that I would have missed. Knowing that Ann and Ann will be reviewing my work sets my mind at ease and helps me just relax and be creative. They are prompt and kind and personable. As a writer they are exactly who you have been looking for!
