Comments from Editing Clients:
From Derrick Tuper, author of Beneath the Surface, available at Amazon.com:
Dianne Beale is a talented editor and designer. She knows how to tighten up prose and dialogue while keeping the natural flow of things. When Dianne edits your work nothing is lost from the story. What makes Dianne so worthwhile aside from her skills is her understanding nature. She, being an author herself, knows the emotional connection an author has with his work. With that in mind, Dianne is careful to keep the author's heart in the story. I believe Dianne edits each piece as if it were her own; painstakingly honing and polishing to bring about the best possible outcome. I would recommend Dianne to anyone who wishes to have the care and compassion of a fellow author working on their blood, sweat and tears.
From Peter Dudek, author of The Forsaken Kingdom Series:
It’s remarkable that the writer of a piece of literature seems to be the person most likely to miss errors during editing passes. In fact, the writer is likely one of the least able people to edit his or her own work. Extreme familiarity with the material makes it difficult to spot mistakes. Thankfully, there are wonderful professional editors available to us writers ready and able to help polish our manuscripts. On a recent project, it was my pleasure to work with editor Dianne Beale.
Dianne Beale managed to pick out and repair all those grammar, sentence structure, and spelling mistakes that would have been nearly impossible for me to weed out on my own. Her attention to detail was superb, and her excellent ability to communicate made the editing process both enjoyable and educational. Thanks to her expertise, I now have a polished novel that I’m currently soliciting to agents and publishers. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their work to a mainstream publisher or agent, and to those seeking to self-publish in a competitive marketplace.
