I'm grateful to have worked with many talented writers and other professionals over the years. Following is feedback from a few of them.
Lillian Duggan, copyeditor extraordinaire, not only corrected stylistic errors and inconsistencies but also clarified and smoothed my prose.
Barbara Ellen Smith, Author, Digging Their Own Graves, Haymarket Books
Lillian is one of the best editors I know. She makes insightful comments, pays attention to detail, and asks questions that push me to rethink my work. She’s a pro on punctuation and organization. I’d use her services again in a heartbeat!
Ann Ormsby, Author, Living in the Rain
I appreciated Lillian’s quality editing. Her perceptive comments and suggestions have enhanced my prose, improving the smoothness and flow. My book is a much easier and better read than before, which I believe will make a big difference to readers. I gladly recommend Lillian’s editing services to other writers.
Ben Kyriagis, Author, Don’t Marry an American
Lillian makes insightful comments and catches errors in use of the English language with a fine-tooth comb. Her ability to offer respectful advice regarding the shortcomings of my composition have been appreciated. In some instances, I have performed ‘major surgery’ on my work and Lillian has been able to tie sections together successfully, thus bridging the flow of my work. I am now able to write more confidently and can draw upon the suggestions that Lillian has made for my work. Her assistance has also impressed my Department Chair. Her ability to maintain my strict deadlines is greatly appreciated.
I was very fortunate to find Lillian. After some brief email exchanges, I had a feeling Lillian was a good fit—and I was right. With her attention to detail and knowledge of punctuation and style, she caught the errors I stopped seeing long ago. Additionally, her fresh eyes from the reader’s perspective helped clarify and strengthen my story.
Christine Hawkinson, Author
Lillian was meticulous in her editing and really helped ensure there was consistency in the character’s voice as well as making sure it was grammatically correct, yet vibrant and true to how a 13-year-old might speak and write in her own journal.
Lori Katzman, Psy.D., Coauthor, Everyone’s Got Something
Lillian is so professional and easy to work with. I'm grateful for her invaluable proofreading.
