Lucian Barnes, author of the Desolace Series: “I just finished going through the edits for Haven, and all I can say is wow!!! You did a fantastic job Melissa M Ringsted!!! I feel very fortunate to have found such a great editor!!! I look forward to working with you even more in the future! :-)
Toi Thomas, author of Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel: “Melissa was one of the best experiences I’ve had in the overall scary adventure of publishing. She’s not only good at editing, but she has an honest and clean eye. She knows how to clean up an author’s work without changing their voice and finds the best way to professionally present their writing to the public. Melissa is a great communicator and keeps in touch, as much or as little as you like, so you’re never left wanting or wondering. I can’t wait to have her take a crack at my next novel.”
Emily Fogle, author of The Dragon Wars: “Melissa Ringsted not only painstakingly edits and combs through each line, searching for errors, but she puts her heart into the work she’s correcting as well. She also makes sure that her clients fully understand the edits she has made. I always felt comfortable asking questions because I knew I would get a thorough answer. Melissa takes pride in what she does and it shows. Anyone can feel secure putting their book in her hands.”
Killian McRae, author of A Love By Any Measure: “A LOVE BY ANY MEASURE had already been out for several months and enjoying success, but was still getting some negative feedback due to grammatical errors. Melissa and her team of readers took the book, found all the mistakes, and turned it back to me within a few days of starting the project. She was professional, maintained great communication, and even gave the work a little boost by recommending it to some of her clientele. Couldn’t be happier with her services, and highly recommend to all.”
Stacey Rourke, author of the Gryphon series: “Melissa Ringsted edits each book with a love and attention to detail that can only be found in a true book lover. A manuscript is its author’s baby and that baby is in the best possible hands with Melissa and her team. She’s like the Mary Poppins of books--practically perfect in every way. “
Elizabeth Kirke, author of More than Magic: Semester Aboard: “Melissa was so easy to work with! She had a quick turnaround time and was more than happy to explain and talk over the edits with me. She was always there when I needed to talk to her too! “
