"I felt a connection with her and sincerity about her through the one short e-mail we shared! I found her sample writing to be very helpful as it showed me what I could expect from her and the services that would be provided. Her work has played a vital role in my project!" - Aegina Angeliades

"It was a pleasure to work with Lorna. She is highly professional, her work was timely and she provided regular, unsolicited updates while editing my manuscript. Each of her edits had a clear reason and, to use her analogy, she weeded my manuscript so that the rest of the garden bloomed. She truly helped me tell my story the way I meant to tell it and I am thrilled with her work on my thriller. I recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a highly competent editor." —Geoffrey Neil, Dire Means

"I have written 14 non-fiction books and more than 600 magazine articles and have a pretty good knowledge of the publishing industry. This was my first attempt at fiction. Lorna did exactly what I wanted, in the time she said she was going to do it and produced a concise report that addressed the major problems with my manuscript. I then went back to her for a second review and got what I was looking for. I was very happy with her comments and report." —(Contact information on request)

"The only reason I would not use your service again is because my editor was a perfect fit for me and I won’t use anyone else! I even hesitated to check yes in the 'would I recommend her to others' because I selfishly am fearful that she will be too booked up to edit my next manuscript."

"I want to thank you for the work you did on Just My Type. I approached working with a new editor with some trepidation in that I have had bad experiences before. From the beginning I felt you not only understood the intent of the work but that you were in tune with it. I found it very reassuring. As I went through the manuscript looking at your input I found that my confidence in what you had done built steadily. It was not just a matter of attention to detail but also the attention to concept and how I expressed the concept. Invariably I found places where you felt clarifications were needed to be on the mark. Sometimes I wondered what your point was and then, when I read the sentence carefully, the logic of it unraveled and I could see that there was something that needed to be fixed. Of course, at times I was irritated because you were making me think and usually the problem was that I had not really thought through what I was trying to say. Thanks to your expert assistance it is now a much better book." —Roger Burt, JUST MY TYPE The Secrets of a Jungian Toolbox to Guide Inspiration

"Lorna has worked as my editor for the past year. At all times I have found her to be extremely competent, hard-working, organized, efficient with great attention to my needs and to details. I have a great respect for her opinion and therefore trust her proposals for improvements and clarifications on my work. Lorna is a valuable asset to me." —Aston Farquharson

"I was very happy with the job Lorna did for me. The edit was very sharp and the critique very detailed. She broke down the manuscript from top to bottom and all of her points were excellent. She not only focused on technical structure, but also the substance of the story. She pointed out many things that I would not have discovered on my own and she looked at the manuscript not only as an editor, but as a reader--which is very important. I would definitely use Lorna again as my editor." —Derek Lively, Diary of the Devil's Son

"My editor, Lorna Lynch, is outstanding. She went right to the task and edited my manuscript in a short time. There are several ways that one can tell an expert. A great editor puts the care and expertise into the work to ensure that the manuscript is of the highest quality; he/she ensures that the manuscript has the best possible chance for success; he/she works well with the author and is flexible, always presenting alternatives; he/she remains willing to consider the author's counterproposals to suggested changes; and he/she gives timely updates on the status of the manuscript. If these are the characteristics of a great editor, then Lorna Lynch ranks at the top." —James McHard, The Future of Modern Music

"I'm very indebted to my editor, Lorna Lynch, for her superb editing, her friendship and her commitment. I thank her from the bottom of my heart." —Jonell Belke, Descent Into Madness

"The contributions Lorna Lynch made to my manuscript were invaluable. She asked thought provoking questions at various points in my book which helped me to identify areas that warranted further development. Lorna also suggested streamlining the scenes that did little to move the story forward. I was most relieved that Lorna respected my voice and allowed my humor and characters to shine. Having never worked with an editor before, I was afraid that an editor might inject their own style and make changes to the manuscript that would make my own writing unrecognizable to myself. On the contrary, Lorna left it up to me to rewrite, delete, or condense where necessary. Her extensive notes and suggestions were meticulously written and would be valuable to writers of any talent level or ability. Lorna’s expertise and input would be valued and appreciated by anyone lucky enough to work with her. She was very gracious, conscientious, and professional; always just an email away. " Marci Giebels, author, The Francis Kelly Project

"Lorna Lynch has been the right match for me. Capable, honest and very reliable, she's come through on every level. I was unable to get an overview of the novel I'd written from a professional point of view until I found her. She's top notch, and if there comes a time when this first novel is published, I'm sure, in large part, it will be because of her. She once made the comment in one of her e-mails to me that for her 'less is more.' I not only put stock in that viewpoint myself, but it's made her opinions even more centered for me. I haven't had to struggle with overwhelming advice. I trust her judgment and plan on seeking her help in the future as another novel is in progress. Thank you so much for putting me in touch with her. For me, it's made all the difference between 'stalling' and 'moving forward.' She's one of your greatest assets." —(Sherrida Woodley, Quick Fall of Light)

"Lorna, you are wonderful! Thanks so much for your help. I don't know what I would have done without you." —Brenda Hampton, Two's Enough, Three's a Crowd
