"The Editing McKennas have taken care of me and my writing through all three novels in my series thus far, and I'll be calling on them to continue the tradition for the future installments as well. They're easy and pleasant to work with and strike just the right balance between suggested improvements and letting me do my thing. I highly recommend them for whatever you're working on."
~Michael Alan Peck, author of The Commons series "Marti took my trilogy from a 6 to a 9. My co-author and I had hired a variety of editors over the years for these books, but I was never happy with the result. Marti has an incredibly keen eye and sharp mind, finding innumerable errors and pointing out many ways to improve the overall flow. She also helped me find and close many plot holes. She pointed out several areas where simple additions brought big improvement. She is very gracious with her feedback, applying only the amount of pressure requested. Working with her was amazing, I became a better writer through the process, and I'm so excited about massive leap in quality my series has undergone as a result."
~Josh Foreman, co-author of The Scarred King series “Bridget not only improved this book by leaps and bounds, I know her recommendations have made me a better writer overall.
Over the last couple of years, I've discovered the that hardest part of the writing process for me isn't starting. It's not even finishing the first draft. It's opening an edited manuscript and seeing what an editor changed, commented on, and didn't like. Talk about approach resistance. Luckily I have Bridget for an editor, who may have been able to intuit how hard this can be, and helped make it less so. Even accepting minor changes she makes is an opportunity to learn and improve my prose, and her notes are constructive in a way that makes me think hard about what I've written. Thanks for helping me get over that approach resistance, and if any writers out there need good editors, I cannot recommend Bridget and Marti enough.” ~Jason Mical "I've published four novels with Bantam Books. In the process, I've worked with a number of copyeditors to catch errors and prepare manuscripts for typesetting. I found Marti to be just as good, and in several instances better, at finding mistakes and identifying ways to improve the novel project I hired her to work on. She has an excellent ear for language and is very skilled at finding ways to reword sentences to make them clearer and more concise. In addition, she has a strong sense of character and plot. She provided a number of invaluable suggestions for punching-up character motivation and development. She was also particularly helpful in making sure that all of the plot elements of the story were logical, fully supported, and internally consistent. For anyone in need of a comprehensive edit at the line-by-line, character, and story level I highly recommend her. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable, with a diverse background and a wide-range of experience that makes her suited to just about any project."
