“Beth Bruno did a great job with my manuscript. She completed the work early and responded promptly to all my questions. She was easy to work with and did a thorough job. Her work was extremely beneficial. I would not hesitate to hire her again.” -Stacy Weed

“The process was very simple. Within hours of sending my first e-mail to the network, I was working with Beth Bruno.  I felt Beth took the time to listen to me before broaching any manuscript changes, and when changes were suggested, they truly did improve the piece. She made wonderful suggestions regarding packaging and even did some research regarding contacts. All in all, I believe this was money well spent.” (On file with network coordinator)

“I offer a heartfelt thank you to Book Editing Associates for providing a mix of highly qualified editors. I was thoroughly pleased with Beth’s services. Not only was Beth efficient, thorough, and professional, she was extremely personable, intuitive and insightful. Her edits tightened the prose and elevated the novel to a more impactful piece effectively illustrating the power of the written word to resonate with the reader long after they’ve read the last word. From the onset, Beth exuded a genuine interest in my novel and understood its purpose. If there needs to be numerous eyes editing the copy, as some publishing houses prefer, Beth is the editor who will read the manuscript first. Additionally, I would be remiss if I did not mention that Beth still takes a vested interest in my endeavor to publish my novel through conventional or self-publishing methods. I must also share that I enjoy her energy and tenacity since it resembles my own. Thankfully, we’re still in contact with each other.” - Michelle Richardson

“My choice of consultants was Beth Bruno because she did a sample edit for me beforehand, that blew me away. We set a time of about 3 weeks for the project, but she surprised me by being done in less than two. Her changes and suggestions were brilliant and offered all that my manuscript needed to shine in the end. Beth has a wonderful eye for detail, her word choice was varied and she brought in a lot of her own creativity—while never at the expense of my own voice. Her feedback was substantial and gave me hope and confidence in myself and my writing skills. It was a pleasure to work with Beth and I am sure I will contact her again as soon as I finish writing my next novel.” (Contact information on request)

"Ms. Bruno's work was timely, very thorough, and best of all I learned a great deal about writing from the changes she suggested, as well as her attention to detail. In fact I teased her about all her red marks on every page but one of a three hundred plus document. I was very pleased with her work." —Peter D. Cimini

"I want to thank Beth Bruno for the spectacular job she did editing my fiction book, The Bond$ of Friend$hip, which has just been published. When Beth first received the manuscript, she understood what was missing and recognized the changes needed to improve the flow, characterization, plot, etc., of my novel. She had a keen eye for small details. Beth was also always very available to discuss suggestions, and she quickly came up with alternatives to solve the problems we encountered along the way. She guided me through the particulars of my novel to the final polished product. The result: A published book. I am almost done with my second thriller and I will hire Beth Bruno’s editing expertise again. No doubt! Thank you again, Beth, for everything, you did. To more novels together." —Oscar Medina

"A couple of weeks ago I submitted a query to Book Editing Associates in hopes of being able to find an editor for my recently completed manuscript. As a result, I had the very good fortune of being introduced to Beth Bruno. In just over a week, Beth was able to completely edit the manuscript. In addition, she offered many valuable suggestions and insights. The results of her efforts have left an indelible impression upon my novel. Not only would I work with her again in the future, but I’d be inclined to solicit her assistance immediately upon completion of my next work. I found her attention to detail and patience with my litany of questions to be very refreshing. Beth is a true professional and a tremendous asset to the collection of fine editors working in collaboration with the Book Editing Associates. Thank you for directing my inquiry to Beth's attention.
Sincerely,
Steve Santel, Author of Jagged Fate"

"I have been extremely pleased with the editing work by Beth Bruno ... She has added not only correct grammar and punctuation, but she has brought clarity to many points with better sentence structure and helped a great deal with some passages that had a singsong like monotonous flavor. I would highly recommend her to other authors and hopefully she will still be doing this when I finish my second book." —Gosta Iwasiuk, Cutting Edge Publishing

"Beth has been a pleasure to work with. She has provided me with a level of editing that I feel will help me see my novel into print. Beth has been very supportive with general comments and thoughtful suggestions about how I can make my story read more smoothly and intelligently. I am very near the end of my rewriting and feel much more confident in my success in finding an agent. I would be happy to recommend Beth to anyone in need of professional manuscript editing." —Kenneth Teicher

"Beth's comments were exactly what I was looking for. My plans are to use all of her suggestions in rewriting my novel. Incorporating her edits will—I believe—turn my story into a good read. As long as I am writing and she is willing to work with me, I will ask Beth to edit my work." —M. Dial

"I thought Beth was professional and friendly. I was impressed with her promptness, as well as efficiency. I also found her suggestions in improving my manuscript insightful." —Becky Tust, writer

"Beth is a miracle. She not only gave me constructive feedback on my
manuscript, she has proven herself indispensible in helping me understand
the "process" by which agents review an artists work.and what I need to do
to become more marketable. She is professional, personable and really made
the effort to understand where I wanted to go with my work before beginning.
Beth has provided so much more to me that just the 'service' of
[developmental] editing. She is a credit, a wonder.and an asset to me as a
writer. Bless you, Beth!" Michela Hendrickson, writer
