I have worked with Holly on countless books, and I’m consistently impressed by her dedication, professionalism, and uncanny ability to delve deep into the heart of a story, pinpoint places that need clarification, suggest revisions, and rework language so a manuscript reads smoother. Any book would greatly benefit from her keen eye.

Holly did editorial work for Craigmore Creations projects spanning children's projects to adult historical fiction projects. She was a pleasure to work with and has an acute eye for the editorial process.

As the editor of my MFA in Graphic Design thesis, Holly was able to take my initial drafts and not just make them sound better, but make the very essence of what I was trying to say more explicit and accessible to the reader. Her attention to detail regarding spelling, grammar and punctuation was thorough, consistent and highly accurate. Holly was timely in responding to my questions and in returning edited content. She created and explained a seamless process by working with my time frame, intended tone and message and by breaking the process down into manageable sections. I found her willingness to talk with me over the phone to explain any confusion about edits both practical and reassuring. Holly is dependable, professional and knowledgeable. She maintains an interest in helping you extend and clarify “your” writing voice throughout the entire process and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend her for your editing needs.
