Testimonials

Satisfied Clients Tell All…

Here are a few editing testimonials. Read what many happy clients are saying.

Not only is Mark an excellent editor; he is professional, courteous, and generous with his advice. Much to my surprise, he completed the editing of my lengthy manuscript sooner than expected and his fees are honest and fair. What I appreciated most about this professional relationship, were Mark’s prompt responses to my emails; he will not leave you hanging. He certainly took a great deal of stress out of this project for me, and I highly recommend him to any writer.

Holland Starke – author of Wednesday’s Child: The Tribulation of Freddie Mercury

I went through three professional editors that missed the guts of proofing. Then…I found Mark. Mark was, IS, THE editor I had hoped for in the beginning! More competent than former publishing house editors! Thank you, Mark.

Per Hampton – fiction author

It was such a pleasurable experience working with Mark. He did an excellent job of line editing and fixing all grammatical errors in my book. He took the time to answer all of my questions by phone and never complained. His prices are reasonable and affordable, and I will definitely use his services again for my next book. I will give him 5 out of 5 stars.

Mark, keep up the good work!

Genaro Andrade – author of In Search of Knowledge and Happiness

Mark,

Thank you for your kind words about my book, and I appreciate your honesty about all my errors. I feel more educated as a result of your corrections, instructions, and guidance for the things that I did right, and your suggestions on how to better the book.

I am glad to have paid for your excellent services. It was worth every dollar.

George Atkinson III – author of Galaxy Marshal

Hi Mark,
I just went through the whole manuscript, because I’m trying to train myself to get better with dialogue punctuation. You have a sharp eye and accurate comments—good catch on several items. I am very pleased and motivated, because I finally found an excellent editor. I appreciate your effort.

Patti Dammier, PhD – author of Positive Horses and Got Carrots? Rescued Horse: Summer Fun

Mark, I can’t thank you enough for your work on my book. I completed the review today and it is off to the publisher. I needed exactly what you did. I knew punctuation was a weakness of mine, but I did not know how much! I appreciate everything you did. I will recommend you to others. Thank you again.

Sue Snover – nonfiction author

Mark Meyer edited my book and did an excellent job. He helped me come one step closer to turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse. I knew his knowledge of punctuation and style of written English was much greater than mine, but I was amazed at the little things he found, like an omitted period. His fee was money well spent as far as I am concerned. I highly recommend Mark.

Albert Foster – author of How to Become Wealthy

Mark saved me public embarrassment if my book had gone to print. I was in the process of submitting my final book manuscript to a publisher when I decided to send it to Mark for a final read. Mark found errors and a blatant one that would have caused embarrassment if the book had gone to print. I can’t thank Mark enough for his careful eye and professionalism. I will use him for other projects and recommend his valuable service to others.

Gloria E. Lockhart, MSW – author of How Many Times Do I Forgive?

Thank you Mark Meyer for the awesome job you did on my book Living With the Silent Enemy. I thank God for sending you to help me with my book.

Vivian Lindley – author of Living With the Silent Enemy

My experience with Mark’s copy editing was completely positive. He quickly reviewed the manuscript and gave me an idea of the extent of editing needed and a reasonable fee. Communication throughout the project was prompt, pleasant, and clear. It all went quite smoothly and in the time frame I needed. I would recommend his services to other authors as well as hire him again on my next project.

Update: Mark, I just found out I won first place in the New Mexico Federation of Press Women contest. They will send it to the national competition and there will be lots of publicity. So, thank you for your help in polishing the novel!

Thelma GiomiPhD – author of Shatter My Heart

If you’re a first-time author looking for someone to proofread your work, like I was, rest assured Mark is very thorough, professional, and expedient. I could not have been more happy with the service he provided.

Jeff Jarrell – author of Africa: The South African Adventure of an American Hunter

Mark is a gift from the universe to me. After spending several days researching editors for my book, becoming more and more frustrated, I found Mark’s website. He is a professional and does exactly as he states. Mark will definitely be editing my next book, which is almost completed, and the following books I plan to write.

I have found a great editor and not only that, I feel that I have made a friend.

Barbara Maria Kelly – author of Comes to Pass

Mark,

Thank you for all your help and guidance. I will promise you this, once I finish book two, you and you alone will be editing it for me. If I am lucky enough to be able to continue with any sort of success, you will be my guy as long as you want to be involved. I have learned so much in a short period of time from you. To say I am appreciative is an understatement. Many heartfelt thanks.

Michael R. Kern – author of When We Walked Amongst the Shadows

Thank you so much Mark, for taking on my heavy load of corrections. Without you I see what a mess it would have been. I am absolutely grateful that you made huge corrections but still left it how African Americans speak to one another. Once I looked at what I wrote and what you corrected I couldn’t do anything but smile. The clean up and corrections were great. You have been a great resource and very inspiring to me. I love learning and you make things so simple for one to understand, especially with this being my first book. Again Mark, I am so thankful for your help. I’m sure it brought forth a headache but I appreciate you and will be looking forward to working with you again and sharing you with others I know are looking for help.

Chloe Elam – author of A Band-Aid Won’t Do

Mark,

Brilliant job of copy editing all of my books. Thank you for the wide range of errors you caught and fixed. I am always impressed at your range of concerns, from punctuation to inconsistent language, facts, and numbers. You make my books so much better. Thank you.

Stephen Houser – author of I Am Clara; King of the Jews: Jesus of Nazareth; The Wickett Sisters in Limbo; and Samzoo

Mark: I have gone through the manuscript, and I like the way you edit. You made it so easy. I am very pleased with what you have done. Thank you for an excellent job.

Elva Anson – author of Wondering Around God

I highly recommend Mark Meyer for all your proofreading needs. I researched several proofreaders before deciding to go with Mark and I feel it was one of the best—and easiest—decisions I’ve made about my novel. Mark’s skills are excellent. He has a keen eye for identifying errors that we authors simply can no longer see.

I also truly appreciated his responsiveness. When I had requests for early chapters of my manuscript from publishers and agents, he worked quickly for me so that I could put my best foot forward. He is a kind soul and consummate professional. His prices are exceptional and so is his work. If you are reading this, your search for a proofreader is over—hire Mark now!

Stacie Haas – author of Freedom for Me

Update: Congratulations to Stacie Haas and her book Freedom for Me, a Skipping Stones 2018 Honor Award winner for multicultural teen books.

Hi Mark: I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did in proofreading my novel! You definitely made it better! I will gladly contact you again when I finish my next novel.

Duncan Othen – author of Last Dance with Death

Mark is always thorough with proofreading and I appreciate that he meets his promises and deadlines. He’s also incredibly courteous and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Stephanie Chandler – CEO, Authority Publishing

After many hours (weeks, months, years?) of work on a book, the most daunting moment, it seems to me, is when you get the final proof back from the publisher to approve so you can go to press. It is that proof that will shape others’ perceptions of you as a writer. Misspelled words?—punctuation errors?—inconsistencies in your story or text?—is this what you want your reputation to rest on? I was fortunate to find Mark Meyer at Professional Book Proofreading. He is the easy solution so you never reach that daunting moment. If you have given your work to Mark, rest assured that your reputation will be based on your talent, not your mistakes.

Mike Politano, PhD, MPS, ABPP – author of Tag and Chubs

Mark: I couldn’t believe how many mistakes I made in my manuscript! You did it on time and you did it well! I was looking for you all the while and didn’t know it. I’d recommend you anytime.

Noel F. Keane – author of Murder and a Vacuum Cleaner

On a sizable project with a tight deadline, Mark provided us with very skilled and efficient service by the target date. And at a fair price. We would definitely use him again.

Dr. Leslie Norins – Publisher

Thank you Mark for all the effort you put in to make my book a success. You are excellent in your field and a very kind soul! Again, I thank you so much.

Daniel Doster-Mann – author of Abused Intimacy

It’s great to have an experienced proofreader who is quick, concise, and AFFORDABLE. I’ve used his services in the past, and will continue to use him for future projects. Thanks Mark!

Angela Meju – author of the Roaming Reindeer series

I couldn’t have tackled the monumental task of getting my first book completed without Mark’s assistance! His comments and corrections were helpful and accurate, and I felt completely confident sending my manuscript onward after he had polished it. This was my first time working with him so I was understandably uncertain of what I was going to get, but came away completely satisfied. Compared to a lot of services out there, Mark continued to support with those lingering questions that come after the fact, and went above and beyond to help achieve my goals. For many more pieces to come I’ll be coming to Mark, and I’d encourage anyone out there considering it to give him a shot. He was affordable and well worth the investment—can’t think of a better combination than that!

 Pyotr Andreyev – author of Arrndgros

Mark,

I must congratulate you on the fine proofreading services that you have provided to me. You delivered on time, the accuracy of your proofing was without error, and at all times you were courteous and responsive. It was very refreshing when you went “the extra mile,” performing a few extra services that I don’t believe were in the original budget without “nickeling and diming” me.

Without hesitation I shall endorse you to fellow authors.

Jerry Sonenblick – author of Vengeful Unhinged and The Prostitute Lobbyist

Update: Congratulations to my client, author Jerry Sonenblick, for winning the 2017 New Apple Book Award in Indie Publishing for the mystery category. Jerry’s award-winning book Vengeful Unhinged is currently available at Amazon.

Mark,

I want to thank you for your help in proofreading my book, Tales from the Deep. Your detailed help made all the difference here. And when we were up against a deadline, you came through for us. This is much appreciated. We’ve been getting a lot of good comments on the book. Of course, you had a great deal to do with that. Thanks again.

Joe Kraus – author of Tales From The Deep

Mark,

Having had the time to review all of your comments and corrections I must say I agree with every one of them. This is certainly not your first rodeo and the proof is right on the pages you reviewed. Knowing I have deadlines your review came in days ahead of schedule. That is a great value you added to this project. I look forward to working with you again.

Lewis Cook – author of Joe’s Alamo

Mark,

As you know, I wrote a longish article to publish online. I was sure that it was almost perfect. Nevertheless, I decided to have someone proofread it in case I left out a comma or something. To my astonishment, when I received the proofed document it was loaded with errors (thankfully corrected by you). I would never have thought it was possible to make so many errors in seven pages.

It was a humbling experience, but I am so pleased to have had it.

Thanks again Mark.

JH – online author

Mark, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your work on my book, The Monastery Treasures: A Trilogy. I had read and re-read my manuscript, and realized I’m not very good at catching my own errors. In my career, I had others who did that for me. I did check with the printer where I will have the book printed, and was referred to a book proof reader. I checked him, and others too, and I want to tell you, you stood out among those I looked at.

There is no question you are an excellent proof reader, but what is even more important is the fact that you spend time with the author. You left me with a solid feeling of confidence in you from our first contact, and then proved you were everything I expected you to be.

If you ever want a personal referral please call on me for that purpose. I give you my highest recommendation.

Dr. Branton K. Holmberg, retired university professor/administrator – author of Sam ‘n Me™ Adventure Books

Mark did a great job proofreading my book The Hidden Hand. I am impressed with his services and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants any type of book or document proofread. Just when I thought the text was good enough he would find something more that would need correcting. I believe he was very thorough in his work. He also offered many helpful suggestions that enabled me to come across in a more professional way with my book. I now feel I can sell my book and have a sense of confidence that my writing is coming across to people in a professional way. He went about his proofreading work with patience and I had a sense of peace that I wasn’t going to have to worry about mistakes. Mark is also very personable and pleasant to work with. I think that a good proofreader like Mark will help boost sales of any book or product. Once again, thanks Mark!

Mark Jager – author of  The Hidden Hand

Blacksparrow By Thomas Alan Ebelt

Mark,

It is my pleasure to offer words of praise for the work you put into my recently published book. As an author, I love the process of developing characters, throwing them into situations, and exploring their strengths and weakness. Looking at myself as a writer striving to create a meaningful and enjoyable reading experience, I am overjoyed to have had a chance to see first hand how your services can improve my finished product. I wish I had met you sooner, however, as I prepare my next novel for publishing, I do consider your proofreading to be a necessary final step.

Not only have you shown me to be skilled at your work, your knowledge and insight about books in general, and your ownership of the best little bookstore I have ever set foot in, all make me glad to be a writer and a reader. I also feel privileged to call you my friend.

Thomas Alan Ebelt – author of Blacksparrow

If you’re looking for a high quality professional to edit your work, I would highly recommend Mark. Our manuscript was proofed with skill and speed, all at a very reasonable rate. We couldn’t ask for more. And we’re very pleased with his corrections. Thanks Mark!
