"Joyce Shafer consistently demonstrates her ability to sift through and distill a writer's thoughts into text that targets what is really important for readers to know. Her skills truly enhcance the quality of articles and documents for publication."

- Cari Parsons, Editor, New Century Philanthropy

*****

"Joyce Shafer's editing is seamless. Many times, I have provided her with what, to me, was fairly finished copy and she was able to take this and improve it considerably."

- Leeya Brooke Thompson, Author

*****

"Before I began to work with Joyce Shafer as editor/re-writer for my novel, I engaged the services of two others, each with backgrounds in literature. A long period of time went by without much forward momentum. I was nearly ready to drop this project after ten years of striving to have my book be a reality. With a decision to make one more attempt, I posted an ad and received numerous responses. Joyce's credentials impressed me and I've been more than pleased with the results and our working relationship. Reviewers are calling it a page-turner/can't put-it-down book and asking for the sequel!"

- Nathan Lichtwar, Author, Peckerwood Twist ( © 2007)

*****

Joyce Shafer's critique of my novel helped me to see areas where plot development needed assistance, as well as other aspects of novel writing I hadn't considered. Along with this valuable guidance, her words of encouragement made it easy for me to get into rewriting mode with a different, renewed level of focus. -- A. Bernier
