"Working with Linda Hines was sheer pleasure. Throughout the rewrites and corrections, Linda had this wonderful gift of keeping my 'voice' alive, a considerable task when considering my Germanic background. The result is a novel of far greater charm and poise than I had thought possible. I have the highest regards for Linda's editing skills and professionalism." —Hans Schlunegger

"Linda was friendly, helpful, and helped me polish my product in a way I could not do alone. She is wonderful, a patient professional." —Lynda Forrester

"It was a tremendous pleasure working with Linda Hines. She was very professional and she met all of my expectations for what I was looking for in a professional editor. The service that she provided definitely saved me a lot of stress. I have referred her to others and would use her again myself. On the contrary, I was not happy with one of the consultant selections provided to me by the network. This particular consultant was extremely unprofessional and down right rude. My decision to use the network in the future would have been tainted if I hadn't received such a positive experience by working with Linda." —Teressa Leath, P.H. Village Publishers, LLC

"Working with Linda was outstanding. She was there for me when asked and even though I didn't call her, she was available by phone if needed. Linda brought my book to life by enhancing all parts of it. She used her own ideas and we worked together to find the best fit for our combining thoughts. At times when I was stuck and unable to find the right words to use, she always came through with exactly what I was hoping for while emphasizing my point. Linda's style was exceptional and exactly what I needed to achieve my goal. There was nothing negative about the experience. I would enjoy working with her in the future." —Casey Snyder, Mirror

"I was really nervous and apprehensive when I first contacted Linda Hines. It was both daunting and exhilarating to know my story was almost ready. I thought the last step was for an editor to go over grammatical mistakes, punctuation, and, perhaps, obvious faults in the plot. Linda surpassed all my expectations. Not only did she do the expected corrections, but also she went out of her way to be supportive and encouraging. She turned my story into a book. The best part was that it still sounded like me, which is very important for an author. I am very impressed with her dexterous abilities. I love that she respected my style and allowed me to maintain it throughout the editing process. I commend her on a job well done and welcome the opportunity to work with her in the future." —Marc Burnett, CEO, IU Entertainment Inc., On a Two-Way Street, Georgia on My Mind
