“I had the pleasure of working with Debra Hartmann as my Managing Editor for my first novel. Debra was a great sounding board when I had concerns and communicated clearly on schedule about timelines, next steps, and where she or her team made changes and why. Her team did customized combination of dev edit, line edit, and proofing to make sure the book was polished and professional. Debra checked the editor’s work to make sure that nothing was missed and was on top of everything from start to finish.

Thanks to Debra and her talented team, the editing was top-notch, and I’ve received great feedback on the quality of the editing for Call Me Adam in critical reviews. Debra’s mentorship throughout the entire process made my publishing journey much easier—she truly built confidence with every step. She never made me feel like I was overstepping when asking to look at something just one more time. I used to own and operate a traditional publishing company, so I know the challenges of working with authors who are very possessive and sometimes inflexible about their creations, but Debra’s professionalism, expertise, and sense of humor made the process smooth and enjoyable, and I learned some things I didn’t already know that I’ll take with me into my next project. I highly recommend Debra and team for any editing or publishing needs.”
