Author Kudos
I had the pleasure of working with Tracey as the editor for my Rites of Passage book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Tracey was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. Her editorial guidance elevated the manuscript in ways I could not have achieved on my own. And her marketing recommendations were spot on. If you’re looking for an editor who brings both expertise and a collaborative spirit, I highly recommend Tracey.
CLARK MOREY
Tracey edited all three of my novels and helped each one become the fullest expression of my creative vision. She was meticulous when it came to spelling and grammar, and she often suggested changes that improved and enhanced my stories. If you're looking for an editor who is easy to work with and brings a fresh perspective, Tracey is the one for you!
SUSAN RAIKE
Tracey thoughtfully edited my first two books by researching points I raised, examining my story line from a reader’s perspective, and dedicating time to understand cultural nuances I described. She was very responsive, detailed and motivating throughout my writing journey. She asked critical questions on areas writers may assume as implied knowledge. Tracey’s evident passion for quality, authentic and clear writing helped me accomplish my lifelong dream of becoming an author. Her approach to editing has inspired me in many ways, and I invite anyone who is looking for a detailed and dedicated editor to work with Tracey.
SOPHINNA SINGH-OGINNI
There is literally no way I could have written my book without Tracey's help. She provided line edits on all 22 chapters. She provided editorial insight on the entire book. She was thorough, timely, her suggestions were clear, her process was seamless. Her contributions were seriously invaluable, and at times she felt like a real partner on the project. I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Tracey.
