Recommendations
"Excellent editing skills in both print and electronic media ... she sizes up the big picture and quickly understands how to help a writer shape a piece so that it accomplishes the goals the writer has set for it ... [she] quickly turned even the roughest pieces into gems of clarity."
~~ David Reynolds, Manager of Editorial Services, White Horse
"'Eagle eye' Stephens spots every punctuation error and grammatical mistake and she is a superb developmental editor as well. When Lori works on a manuscript, it is equal to anything published by major publishing houses."
~~ Al Siebert, Ph.D., Author, The Survivor Personality
"Your influence, guidance, and skills are reflected in page after page."
~~ Michael Grinder, National Director of NLP in Education, Author, Righting The Educational Conveyor Belt
"High creative ability and organizational talent. From somewhat nebulous ideas of design I sent her, she was able to interpret and execute a dynamic and powerful cover design."
~~ Richard Zarro, President/Author, Futureshaping Technologies NY
"We found Lori to be an invaluable resource. Our book was a technically written book that posed many editorial challenges, particularly for someone not trained extensively in our field. Lori was able to find that delicate balance of allowing the precision and nuances we valued, while at the same time making the book more accessible and easier to read ... We would highly recommend Lori for her editorial work in any area. She has the ability to objectively sift through a work and add the polish that would make any author proud. She is extremely dedicated and can be counted on to do a superior job."
~~ Julie Silverthorn and John Overdurf, Authors, Training Trances
"You are on the top of the list when I need some editing."
~~ Lisa Perry, Collectors Press
"I just received a copy of the revised edition ... Lori Stephens did a marvelous job. Not only is the work she did professional, it also reflects a personal sense of taste and elan."
~~ Kim Stuart, Author, The Uninvited Dilemma
