Chih took my books, and she really made me feel like she had a stake in the content. She didn’t try to change my voice, but genuinely wanted to build upon it. Editing is important and she did a wonderful job with that every time, but finding notes in the manuscripts where she found something particularly funny, touching, or she liked a particular wording, to me, that is orders of magnitude more important than just the edits. When you must go through all those mistakes that you made, it just refuels me to see the good. To me these books are more than just books, once they are published, they are a part of my identity, and it felt like she understood that more than some editors that I’ve worked with. I look forward to working with here in the future.

It was such a pleasure working with you. You made everything very clear and straightforward, and I found it especially helpful that you explained why you were asking for certain changes during the edit and have been willing to answer any questions I’ve had since. I’m always trying to grow as a writer, and working with you I felt I received a professional and worthwhile copyedit while also learning rules I can apply to my personal editing in the future.

I will also absolutely be returning when I need my next book copy-edited :)

Chih is a fantastic copyeditor. She is fast, efficient, and professional. Her notes and style guide are invaluable and I couldn’t recommend her any more highly.

Chih’s editing was fantastic! Her suggestions were clear and to the point, her analyses of persons, places, and things in the manuscripts were comprehensive and complete, she was responsive to questions, and her fee structure was more than fair. In fact, for all that she did, it was a slam dunk deal! I highly recommend her services for anyone who wants to have their creative efforts shine more brightly!

Chih, you did an excellent job as my editor! Even though my book was over 500 pages, you kept a great hold on the story and helped me fix all the problem areas. Your grammar editing skills are excellent! I’ve learned a lot from your corrections, and I love learning about the English language every day. I particularly appreciated the fact that, when you gave me corrections, you suggested a way if it was something extensive, or you just fixed it if it wasn’t as big, but still important. Your ‘see what I did here?’ followed by an explanation was one of my favorite things. I learned a lot from my mistakes because of all that, and you made me a better writer. To me, the fact that you took the time to explain each edit in a few words was extremely valuable. I also liked it when you shared your personal thoughts, because you understood the story, so that kind of feedback was very valuable.

I have no words to express how grateful I am for your detailed, careful, and thoughtful review of my manuscript. You are a very organized and capable editor. There were several instances where I found myself laughing about your comments, usually because I wrote something that didn’t make sense or was incomplete. Now, my manuscript is polished and as a result, reads well.

Chih is an extremely knowledgeable copyeditor with a great eye. I learned a lot from her careful and thoughtful edits of my work, and I appreciated her professionalism and her attention to detail. It can be hard to turn your writing over to someone else, but my work was in good hands with Chih. She helped me make my writing the best it could be, without altering my voice. I am so grateful for her hard work and expertise.

Chih took great care in editing my first novel. She corrected my grammatical and punctuation errors, supplied a helpful style sheet unique to my manuscript, and gave great insight on my pacing, characters, dialogue, and inconsistencies. She possesses a substantial knowledge of writing which transfers to her strong editing skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for my next project.

Chih copyedited an early version of my debut novel, FLYGIRL. Her efforts helped me to move forward with my manuscript free of grammatical, punctuation and syntax errors. Chih is professional, friendly and dedicated. I highly recommend her for copyediting work. I cannot thank Chih enough for tackling this project and delivering on time. So appreciated.
