Published Books Edited by Angela
Now an Author, Too!
What my clients say
“Angela was amazing editing my novel. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and energetic. Excited about my work and very professional.”
“This is my second time working with Angela, and she is amazing! She is excellent at picking up minute details that escape my attention. I also really appreciate how she helps me find solutions to any plot holes or inconsistencies I may have in my stories, she offers up helpful suggestions, and gives great feedback. I definitely plan to hire Angela as my editor for all remaining installments in my book series.”
“I finished going through the manuscript and I am very impressed with your attention to detail and superb editing skills. Thank you! Thank you for polishing my creation into something I will feel confident about submitting for publication. Thank you for the very quick turnaround and your general responsiveness.”
“Not only is Angela fast but she is incredibly accurate. She pointed out things in my manuscript that I know I never would have noticed otherwise. There were things I had read over and over before that had never caught my attention but Angela noticed them right away. In addition to this she also helped me to better understand the editing process as this was my first experience hiring an editor as well as using UpWork. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and really helped me to feel more confident as a writer. I would highly recommend Angela to anybody who needs a substantive editor as well as a proofreader. She is the best!”
“Any author/writer who doesn’t use Angela as their editor is doing themselves a disservice. She was extremely nit-picky with details, which I loved. She communicated clearly, and was always available to answer any questions. Do not hesitate to use her services. I plan on hiring Angela for subsequent novels.”
“Angie Howes has a gifted ear for poetry. She patiently and delicately suggested just the right, targeted edits to make my book sing.”
“I was very pleased and happy with Angie’s editing of my book of poems. She was non-intrusive and knew just where to ask a question or pose a suggestion. I was astonished at her understanding of the book and she suggested a change in the order of one section that surprised and pleased me. Her knowledge of all things grammatical is impeccable! I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Angela Howes was my Bass River Press editor for my 2018 poetry collection, Water~Dreaming. To borrow an eye exam phrase, her vision was 20-15 during her six months of intense attention to my book. While encouraging and reaffirming, she also had the courage to address aspects she felt were askew, and she was firm when she noticed details which could be refined. She was tactful yet direct— a heady, productive combination. I look forward to seeking Angie’s close reading and advice with my next project.”
“I have worked with many, many fine people in my career, but only a few as reliable, professional, and unflappable as Angela Howes. She’s smart but also sensitive, efficient but kind. I have absolute faith in Angela and her ability to get things done, to do them well, and to meet deadlines. And while she, herself, is a writer–which means she understands the needs and priorities of her clients–she is also an editor with the objectivity to see what the work needs and how to improve it. I enthusiastically recommend Angela to writers in need of editorial services.”
