Testimonials

“I can confidently state that she has consistently produced stellar editing. Ms. Gilliam has proved herself to be an asset when working with some of Kensington Publishing Corp.’s top acquisition editors. She has more than earned her status as a vital member of my team.”
Renee Rocco

Managing Director, Lyrical Press, Kensington Books

Lisa is a consummate professional with a keen eye for detail. Though I redrafted my manuscript numerous times with a fine toothed comb, Lisa managed to find errors and plotholes I overlooked. I wouldn’t trust anybody else with my work, and neither should you. I’d keep Lisa all for myself if I could, but that would be unfair to all the other writers requiring her exceptional services.”

Dean Kinne

Author, The Scourge of Godspear

“In every way, you gave us more than we expected. Your attention to detail and your obvious desire to make our book the best it can be was evident from our first contact. Your beta read was spot on. Your book formatting skills are awesome. We are proud to call you a member of our team!”

LT Anderson

Co-authors, Absorbing Lives

“Lisa had a great eye for detail, and I feel confident my manuscript is in the best condition it can be. Her skills were well worth the cost, and I just love the style sheet she provided.”

Stephanie Mirro

Author, Birth of the Bacchae

“I had a wonderful experience with Lisa’s editing. She is meticulous and gave some great guidance. I highly recommend her.”
J.T. Patten

Author, The Presence of Evil

“[Lisa] beta read my manuscript … and offered very valuable insight. I’d love to work with her in the future in a greater capacity, but I’d highly recommend her to any author who’s looking for someone positive and professional. Very satisfied client here!”
Dwayne Gill

Author, Written by Blood: Conviction

“You are an amazing editor, and without you my words would be full of nonsense. Thank you for believing in me, and my work. I absolutely love working with you and feel honored to have you as a part of my team. I look forward to many more novels that will have your touch to them.”

A. M. Willard

Author, Frosted Sweets

“As our proofreader, you did an excellent job of weeding out continuity issues and tightening up the edit. I’m so very grateful for you and look forward to working with you again. Thank you.”

Michelle King

Author, The Fire Inside

“You have the patience of a saint and the eye of an eagle. Thank you so much.”

Michelle McLoughney

Author, Odin
