Client Testimonials

"Originally, I did not plan on hiring a company to edit my book. I felt pretty confident I didn’t need to, after having friends and family review my book. I changed my mind, and I am so thankful I hired Wandering Words for their developmental/content editing and copyediting services. They’re efficient, had great suggestions, and were very prompt answering my questions. My book was complete in no time. They’re an exceptional company!"

"I submitted my manuscript for copy editing after completing a round of developmental/content editing. I figured this was just a nicety. I didn’t think there would be much left to do.

I was wrong. Tina P. corrected a bunch of items that I would have missed. She flagged numerous statements where I needed to cite my sources. She reworked some of my sentences to make them stronger. And Tina gave me constructive feedback in several areas that ultimately made my manuscript as rock-solid as it can be. I can’t emphasize enough how valuable and enjoyable the copy editing process was."

"K.E. Koontz did a fantastic job on my book. She provided thorough comments, guidance, and helpful tips to improve the content. Turning your book over to a stranger who may not understand your vision is challenging, but I am so happy I didn't skip the developmental/content editing part of the process.

Overall, the entire team was thorough and thoughtful with their feedback. I'm truly impressed by their professionalism, process, and attention to detail. It was hands down the best experience I've ever had working with book editors."

"Qatarina and I, we had an instant connection. It’s like two old souls crossing paths… that was very important because I was quite anxious about my debut novel—it was a nordic noirish, dark story… and some scenes or chapters… were difficult to write because it was a journey into the depths of many confused or corrupted human souls.

So, I needed an editor who ‘knew’… not just someone who could fix my English (not a native speaker) but someone who understood the story, the theme, and the unforgiving world my characters lived in. And then Qatarina popped up just at the right time! Stars aligned?

Qatarina is not just an editor to fix your grammar but she lets you keep your voice as well. She’s got something of… a story goddess. Hire her!"

Aza Clave

Author, You Don’t Know Me

"I tried out a number of editors before coming to Wandering Words. Other editors didn’t seem to get me, didn’t really understand my style, made changes and suggestions that didn’t work for me. When Christina sent back the first sample edit, something clicked. She hadn’t changed anything--instead, she made suggestions, observations, asked questions. She wasn’t critical--well, she was critical, but in a good way. The way you need when you want to make that piece of writing the best it can be.

Christina’s developmental/content editing was honest and refreshing. It was like getting an essay back from a great teacher. And she is a great teacher! Writing is a tough and lonely pursuit. Writers put their heart and soul into their work and handing over a draft to an editor is a painful process. But it is an important part of the whole process. Christina’s questions and comments have really helped me to hone my skills, bring my characters and settings to life, and have made me a much better writer. I’m currently working through the edit of my second book, and I look forward to working with Christina on book number three."

"Qatarina and Christina made working with them so easy! We did a short sample and review and I checked out a few testimonials. After seeing the sample I was sold.

They have has been very thorough and so kind to review my questions, and share tips and wording based on their extensive experience.

WWM has turned my book from a good paper to a finished product I can be proud of and not worry about the grammar police.

I can’t imagine working with anyone else!"
