“I found Debra to be a very professional Christian book editor. She turned my clunky and amateur writing into an engaging, descriptive, and flowing manuscript That has a can’t-put-it down feel about it. I would certainly hire Debra again.”

“Working with her was great. She didn’t just clean up grammar—she helped shape the stories, sharpen the message, and made sure my voice came through loud and clear. Fast turnaround, great communication, and solid insight. If you’re writing a book and want a real editor—not just a spellchecker—she’s the one. Definitely working with her again.”
