I was writing a letter to a family member while awash in resentment and bitterness, and asked Lynne to edit it, especially the sections where rage had overtaken clarity and coherence. She did far more than simply refine the language; she shared a deep and perceptive insight into how the letter could affect our family relationships and long-standing dynamics. Her perspective prompted me to rethink not just the wording, but the intent itself. When I asked her to tone it down once more, she did so with the same impressive judgment and sensitivity. Thanks in large part to her guidance, my sister and I have reopened communication. Thanks so much Lynne! *****

About Lynne Feldman
Not all editors are the same. Editing is a skill that requires finely tuned skills that AI is unable to achieve. You can be assured that when you send me your project it is a very experienced human editor who is doing the work, not AI. What makes a great editor is someone who listens carefully to what you need. Listening skills combined with expertise in editing is a winning combination. I am that editor. I listen and deliver. Who better to edit your manuscript than a very experienced editor? I have been working as an editor for more than 30 years. My skills are unmatched given the broad range of areas I work in, from screenplays to dissertations, from memoirs to self-help books, from nonfiction to fiction. Each genre requires a different skill set and I have developed these skills over my very successful career. If you are struggling to write a personal letter to a family member or close friend and find yourself unable to do so because of the sensitive nature of the relationship, I can do that for you. However, I am not qualified to edit poetry, which requires a different skill set. And if you are looking for help writing university applications it’s best you look elsewhere. I know my limitations and I will be upfront should you ask for something that I am unable to do. I use Word and Google Docs for straightforward editing and I use Final Draft for screenplays. I do not do formatting as that requires a different skill set. If there is a better way to say something, I will say it. If the organization of the document needs some help, I will tweak it. If your document needs to follow APA or MLA or Turabian, I will follow the guidelines. Leave it to me! Please read my reviews. My clients can vouch for my professionalism and timeliness. If you'd like to chat with any of them, I can put you in touch. My fees are fair and I will work within your budget. I am open to negotiate the fee depending on the size of the project, how complicated the project is and your turnaround time. My minimum charge is $150. I am ready to move forward. I have never missed a deadline and will keep you informed of my progress. I am located on the West Coast and will respond to all communication in a timely manner. I start at 8 am Pacific Coast time. I enjoy my work and always look forward to taking on new projects.
Reviews
Lynne is very professional. Her amazing attention to detail, and genuine care for my project is top notch. Lynne is extremely responsive, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Most of all, Lynn treated my manuscript with personal respectfulness. And worked with me from start to finish until I was completely happy with the end result. I would recommend her- hands down !!
I would also add value to the list. Lynne is an excellent communicator and editor who keeps the integrity of the author in tact. I couldn't be happier with the monumental task she took on with my somewhat complicated manuscript, or as she put it, "many moving parts". It is now a smooth, readable, flowing narrative I can be proud of. I have high praises for the gift in this woman!
Lynne did an outstanding job with the editing project. Her attention to detail, clarity, and precision elevated the final product far beyond expectations. She not only corrected grammar and formatting errors but also improved the overall flow and readability without altering the intended tone or message. Her professionalism, quick turnaround, and thoughtful feedback made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Lynne for any editing work. She is thorough, reliable, and exceptionally talented.
Lynne and I are still working together as it is a Ed.D dissertation.
Lynne takes the work very seriously and goes the extra step to ensure the client is satisfied. She was very responsive with any questions and concerns. Working with Lynne was a rewarding experience.
I was happy with my work, but knew I needed a good editor to see the things that I could see not in my writing. Lynne provided a keen eye and a wealth of experience. She was exactly what I was looking for.
Lynne was such an amazing person to work with. She took time to understand my style of writing and used her expertise to perfect it. If you're looking for someone who will care about your project as much as you do, Lynne is that person. Amazing personality and very easy to work with. Thank you so much Lynne. I will definitely work with her again.
I wrote a memoir that I had plans of publishing, but I needed an editor/proofreader to help me with completing the process. Finding an editor with extensive experience and professionalism was my main goal. Lynne exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, she was very interested in helping me complete my project. She was understanding to my needs and she had a quick turnover. I’m certain that I will be working with her again in the near future. Thank you for your “advice” and support! 😁
I have worked with several editor but this is the best editor I have worked with. She is very patient and very committed to the project. She pays attention to every single details and went far beyond what I expected. English isn't my first language and I was worried how the book would come out in term of the grammar quality. I was in a very bad shape and Lynne just make my text look perfect. Before I gave her the contract to edit my book, I gave her a 2 pages to edit which I also gave to many other editors and out of all the editors. Lynne was the most outstanding one. And I had three different people confirming that her work was the most outstanding one. She does a very good job editing without changing your style of writing. She's just the best. No need to think twice in giving her your project, she will deliver the best quality and she will constantly stay in touch with you. She is a life saver, she deliver on time and kept your document safe. My book is title Relax and the subtitle is Jesus' peace in the midst of it all but I can tell you that having an editor like Lynne made me relax more because i knew that my work was in a very good hand.
