Testimonials

“I’m honored, Arlene, to have your sharp editorial eye go over my book, The Self-Publishing Manual. Even though it’s been in print for many years, you caught errors that everyone else had overlooked. I want a picky copy editor, and you are careful, precise, and accurate. You have a rare gift for catching even the smallest of mistakes (I would rather you find them than my readers!), and your suggestions for improvement are invaluable. You approach editing with passion and complete the job promptly. Now I’m eager to see the next edition of my book go to press. I appreciate you and your work immensely.”

“Patient, professional and talented. That is how I would describe Arlene Prunkl. What was almost 800 pages of raw emotions and rambling chapters, Arlene helped me transform into a much more clear, concise, flowing and ultimately beautiful piece of work. Arlene’s many suggestions were priceless, and her belief in my story pushed me on to continue when I felt the fatigue of discouragement. To put it in simple terms; she made me believe in myself and the message I wanted so strongly to convey to the world. Arlene helped me to put my message into clear and moving words for the world to read, reflect on, and remember.”

Not only was the work done precisely on time, but I would say she went the extra mile and gave me many helpful insights that I wasn’t expecting. The turnaround, price, and quality were exactly as promised—no surprises. And in this business, that’s a good thing!”

“Arlene, I was hesitant at first to spend the money to hire you to copy edit my book, especially since I have a friend who would do it for free. Now I am so happy that I did! The professionalism of your work was astonishing. Not only did you correct grammar, spelling, and other mistakes, you did everything you promised on your website, making me look great. I will be hiring you again on my next book—the money will be well worth it.”
