Testimonial for my Editor
Following is a testimonial that I wrote for my editor. If you are looking for a good one, you can't go wrong with Felicia A. Sullivan.

Felicia recently edited all three of my books within a tight time-frame and did a phenomenal job. I discovered Felicia over a year ago when she gave my first book a scathing review on Goodreads. She hated my main character -- thought he was arrogant and full of himself. Then she went on to say, "The rest of the book is outstanding. Great story, plot, arc, characters, situation..." and gave it 4 stars! From that moment on I knew that I wanted her to edit my books. However, as a newbie indie, I proceeded to release all three on Kindle without the benefit of an editor. The rough editions were well received, yet I vowed to get an editor before releasing them in Paperback or on other platforms. I am so glad that Felicia agreed to do it.
Since my books had already been released, Felicia wisely avoided direct intervention in the story line. Instead, she made subtle changes that humanized the characters, especially the one she had hated so much. Her edits preserved the voice and style of the author (me), while refining the tone in a way that greatly improved the final product. I was impressed when she explained that she wanted to make it a book by an author writing about zombies, instead of a book by a zombie writer. It was a brilliant approach and I am more than happy with the results.
I highly recommend Felicia A Sullivan as a consummate and professional editor. Her fees were quite reasonable. The process was simple, straightforward and relatively painless. None of the manuscripts required more than two exchanges of edits and I accepted about 99% of her suggested changes -- of which there were literally THOUSANDS in the 300,000+ words that she edited for me. I intend to ask her to edit my future releases too. Any author would be lucky to have her as an editor and they are welcome to contact me with any further questions.
