Here’s what bestselling author John Locke says about Winslow Eliot’s editing services:
“In my experience, there are two types of editors. While both seek out errors, inconsistencies and punctuation issues, only the second type will take a personal interest in your work in order to help you become a better author. This is the type of editor Winslow Eliot is, and no one will go the extra mile to help you like she will…You’re in for a treat. Winslow will take you on an editing adventure! Her margin comments are legendary! She encourages you to be better, never talks down to you, and keeps her eye on the goal, to help you complete the best manuscript possible.” –John Locke, Author, Lethal People, Lethal Experiment, Saving Rachel
And from author Steve Hadden: “I’ve been in the business world long enough to know great value when I see it—and Winslow Eliot’s editing is the best value proposition I’ve found in the writing business.” –Steve Hadden, Author The Sunset Conspiracy, Genetic Imperfections and Swimming Monkeys
“She was able to work within my magazine article’s tight deadline and help me, both over the phone, with organizational concepts, and via email, with detailed textual edits. She was thorough, but above all, unfailingly patient and reassuring at all times. I look forward to her assistance in the future and couldn’t more highly recommend her services to anyone looking to finish a piece of writing in a professional manner.” –Duncan Brine, Horticultural Design, Inc., gardenlarge.com
“To say I am pleased with the results is an understatment. She not only corrected errors, grammar and the continuity, but she kept pushing me for so much more. I never expected her to take such a personal interest in me as an author. My editor is perfectly sublime! I have been blessed to have her. She is truly gifted as an editor, sidebar comments and all!” –Peggy A. Edelheit, Author of Without Any Warning, The Puzzle, 86 Avenue du Goulet
Encouragement – guidance – writing skills.
Rich entertainment!
Rich descriptive language takes the reader into the hearts of an orphan and her supporters and through the Berkshire Mountains and the glitterati of New York City. (Bright Face of Danger) is a page turner that gives a weekend off to anyone who picks it up. The poignant tale is of a beautiful young farm girl with the soul of a poet left orphaned and cared for by those who see her as the special person she is. She is drawn into a different world, different lifestyle and the dangers of predatory men who see something other than the poetry in the girl. Strong writing, a compelling, galloping story, poignant moments of the heart and gripping moments of human turmoil all make this a "must read."
