Client Testimonials

“People often ask me how to get a book published. I tell them first, you have to write it, and second, send it to a great editor before you submit it to an agent or publisher. The cleaner the manuscript, the better the chance of a sale. Fortunately, I found that editor in Carol Gaskin. She has the ability to turn my messy prose into something that flows. She adds the commas where I forget, eliminates the repetitions, cuts, pastes, and generally makes the manuscript eminently more readable. When I see her edited version I am always ecstatic with the result. I don’t submit a paragraph without sending it first to Carol.”
— Susan Kelley, author, Ciao Pussy! A Memoir of Florence; The Second Time Around; Why Men Stray, Why Men Stay; Why Men Commit; teleplays for The Thorns, Kate and Allie

“In today’s intensely competitive market, you don’t stand a chance of publication unless your submission is absolutely, positively perfect. With this in mind, you won’t find a finer editor/book doctor than Carol Gaskin. I couldn’t be more pleased with Carol’s editing and sage advice concerning my recently completed novel, Horace Bixby.”
— R. F. Seabury, author, Horace Bixby (Florida Literary Foundation)
