After I made the decision to self-publish my book, I had absolutely no idea where to start. Amy came to my rescue and guided me through every step of the way in getting my book published through Amazon.

In addition to her expert and detailed editing skills, she was able to complete the complex process of formatting my raw draft into the required style for publishing both a Kindle version and a paperback version.

My book included photographs and diagrams, and she included them in the appropriate places with ease. She coordinated with me to reflect my desires and ideas and completely designed the front and back covers. I am amazed at the results!

My book looks professional and reads exactly the way I envisioned. As a result, I couldn’t be happier with Amy’s work. She gets my highest recommendation – you won’t find a better tutor to take you through the complex process of self-publishing. She’s the BEST!!

Amy gets it done!

I had been wrestling to finish a biography of my grandmother for years but could never quite get it done.  A friend referred me to Amy, and from our first conversation, I knew she was the one to help me cross the finish line.

When I shared that my grandmother’s 105th birthday was quickly approaching, we set an aggressive timeline to release the book on her birthday. We went from a very rough manuscript to posting on Amazon in ninety days. This included a sample edit, editorial assessment, two rounds of editing review, book layout, cover art, and publishing.

Amy guided me through every step of the self-publishing process. She let nothing fall through the cracks and always completed her portion ahead of schedule. She helped improve and enhance my voice so that the best story shone through. And gave critical feedback in the kindest, most compassionate way.

She is a magic maker who helps turn scraps into a beautiful tapestry.

Editor, Zen soul, and book journey guide extraordinaire!

I closely collaborated with Amy for four months (August-November 2021) as my business book came together in the final rounds of a 20-month pandemic effort.

She told me what I needed to hear, tightened content, and kept me sane, all with style, grace, professionalism, and warmth. This book would not have been possible without her.

Amy is a rare find, a gem, the best. I highly recommend her as a thoughtful editor, formatting whiz, self-publishing consultant, and human being. Go forth and conquer.

Extraordinary!!!!

Amy is more than just an editor, she’s someone who truly cares about your book’s success! She was very communicative, informative, and on point with her word. I felt she was more than just an editor, she became invested in the success of my book and in me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a book to read well, and to sell more.

Amy ROCKS!!!

I have worked with many exceptional editors in publishing and ministry careers, but Amy is the very best. She is a superb copy and content editor. She provides a detailed plan for her editing, clearly outlining her commitments and timelines for completing her work. Amy exceeded my expectations and delivered her commitments earlier than expected.

Amy challenged me to be a better writer and encouraged me to enjoy the journey. She left positive comments and motivational thoughts along with her edits. I am a better writer because of her excellent work.

I highly recommend her as a professional editor and a great encourager for aspiring authors.

Amy is a pure professional. She is super responsive and thorough as nothing falls through the cracks. Being a first-time author, Amy guided me through the entire process as I was initially unsure I wanted to publish my novel.

I initially hired Amy to read my book and give feedback, which she did in lighting speed. After her suggestions, I hired her for a developmental edit. While reading my novel the first time after that edit, I couldn’t believe how much better it was. I highly recommend considering the full developmental package if you are a novice author, as it makes a huge difference in the quality of diction.

Finally, after another round of proofreading, I hired Amy to help me publish my book on Amazon, which she did for a very reasonable rate and guided me through that as well. She was very generous with her time as we had multiple one-on-one facetime sessions to discuss each stage of the process. I highly recommend using Amy’s services!

HIGHLY Recommended!

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism is second to none. Communication was clear, concise and consistent. Amy made this process enjoyable and added immense value to the overall project with her insight and ideas.

There isn’t enough space here to say all of the kind things that Amy is worthy of. I highly recommend her!

My Go-To Editor

After reaching out to many different editors, the reason why I decided to work with Amy is that she was the most responsive, thorough, and accommodating. She understood that I was working with some timeline challenges, and she was able to help me meet my deadlines by always delivering faster than promised. She helped me to polish my manuscript and refine my writing so that the delivery is most impactful. She took the time to read through every sentence of my writing and make thoughtful recommendations.

After my book was formatted and published, I was so happy to read it from cover to cover and see how nicely everything came together. I’m sure there will be future editions as I get feedback from readers and identify new ideas worth adding. But I am extremely pleased with how things turned out, and I am so thankful to Amy for being there to support the final sprint in my writing process. If you are writing a B2B book and looking for an editor, be sure to reach out to Amy!

It was a pleasure working with Amy as the editor of my first book. First, she was most notably an expert in her field. Second, she was incredibly patient with me as a first-time author.

Communication with her was easy and timely. She was also very encouraging as I started, stopped, and stumbled along the way.

I highly recommend her and I look forward to using her expertise for my future books.

I am more than satisfied with the quality of service received from working with Amy Pattee Colvin.

Not only did she give many options of her services but she was clear with what I would receive, she did not disappoint! Amy took the time to explain the process from editing to publishing, which a novice such as myself, is grateful. She played an instrumental role in bringing my manuscript to fruition turning it into a more polished and professional piece.

Amy was efficient from start to finish, well exceeding my expectations. I will use her again for other launch projects and highly recommend her services.

I had the pleasure of working with Amy on my first book.  She helped me to navigate the book writing and publishing process successfully. Amy was patient with me and took her time to listen to my needs and what I wanted to accomplish, and she helped me to achieve my goal.  

Amy is a great listener and a great supporter of success. Above all else, Amy is reasonable and well-rounded in her work. She took interest in my subject of interest and asked several questions to ensure she was working towards my goals and aspirations.

I would most definitely recommend Amy; not only is her price affordable she makes sense. Amy provides you the opportunity to pick the package that works for you.  She does not give up until you are successful in reaching your publishing goals. I highly recommend Amy to anyone who wants a book to edited and published worldwide.

The Perfect Partner!

Anything I anticipated…I think Amy was reading my mind and proactively on it! Hands-down one of the best partners I’ve worked with. Superlative communicator. Fun, flexible, and focused. And she helped me remember to have fun with the process! 😉

Thank You!

I found Amy very professional and good at her work. She was very clear in her communication and was helpful throughout the editing process. I thank Amy for all her help and support in making this book happen. I would recommend Amy to others with no doubt.

Editing success!

Amy was recommended to me by another author friend. I was happy she was available and could start soon after I reached out to her. I was almost finished with my manuscript, I just needed one more professional eye on it, to see if there were any other issues to address before publication. She finished her editing before her scheduled finish date, and I was so grateful that she remained available for all of my questions.

I found her to be a pleasure to work with! She helped clear up the loose ends in my manuscript and I would definitely work with her again for my next book.

Amy was a pleasure to work with, extremely professional, told me exactly what to expect at each point in the editing process with her, and did a great job on my book.

Editing was the easiest part of the process for me, thanks to Amy. She also helped me out with some other pre-publication items and did great with those as well.

I will definitely use Amy again if I write another book. Highly recommended!!

Amy has been absolutely INCREDIBLE! For someone like myself who is new to this whole process, not only did she edit AND format my book but she also uploaded it, researched all the additional keywords and categories and was always prompt in her response. She went above and beyond and it was nothing short of an amazing experience that I will be forever grateful for! Thankyou so so much AMY!!!

When I first met Amy, she and I connected very well our vibration was very much entwined. When she read my story she knew what I was looking for and she laid it out very well. She’s very good at what she does. I love her so much.

Amy offered structural feedback and now my book is easy to read and very clear. I love that God put her in my path, to help me create a bestseller out of my book. WOW, AMAZING JOB!

I can’t wait to use her skills for my other books in the near future.  

“I could barely tell you were in my document, your changes were that subtle, yet I know things have been changed for the better. And WOW, you sure do focused and fast work. The turnaround was great and exceeded my expectations. I’m sure I’ll be in touch with future projects because this was just too fun and easy.

Early in the self-publishing steps, I realized I needed the help of a professional editor. Amy was the gal that filled that role. She was with me every step along the way. If there was something I could do, she would let me.

If I needed assistance, she always offered to help. Her help was extraordinary. She not only served as the books editor, but she did the formatting and the steps for actual publishing. I could have never made it without her. I will forever be thankful. 

I have since written another book and Amy’s editorial assistance was invaluable. I’m in the process of working on a third, and look forward to utilizing her skills again in a few months. 

Amy is the first editor I’ve worked with. She read my story deeply. She also gave excellent comments on what to change grammatically, mechanically, and in my content. I accepted all of her comments.

She also followed up and steered me in the right direction for a cover artist and formatter.

I highly recommend her, and I will use her again.

Amy was recommended to me by a trusted friend whose book did very well. I can only say he’s still a very trusted friend, and now, so is Amy!

She edited my book and walked me through all the hoops on the way to getting my book ready and self-published. I dodged so much confusion by having her on my side.

Amy was absolutely awesome!! She was professional and easy to work with. Amy replied quickly to all my questions. She definitely understood the topic and provided great advice on my book. I would have Amy edit my next book.

Thanks, Amy for all your help!

I appreciate Amy Colvin for the breadth of her skill set. She is an excellent content and copy editor, combining a talent for revising awkward passages into flowing phrases while at the same time paying close attention to detail.

I also value her skill with promotional copy and her ability to create websites, landing pages, and marketing pieces.

Amy was the perfect one-stop-shop for finalizing my book details and launching it into the world. I’ll definitely use Amy for future books. She’s brilliant!

I knew Amy had a way with words, but as an editor and proofreader, she surpassed my expectations. She has a fantastic eye for detail and consistency, as well as the ability to look at the work as a whole rather than just one page at a time, offering helpful organizational suggestions.

Amy also wrote some excellent marketing copy for me to help me with promotion.

She was super responsive, easy to work with, and willing to help me brainstorm. I look forward to working with her again.

As a designer for web and print materials strong copywriting is key to turning a good campaign into a great one. Amy is easy to work with, receptive to ideas, and might potentially be a mind reader!

Her excellent writing and editing ability has improved the quality of our work and our clients are thrilled! She understands writing in a tone of voice that corresponds with the clients’ wishes and needs.

Her turnaround was very quick and the quality of writing exceeded my expectations.
