I'm only a novice scribbler, so I don't have much experience with editors, but I'd bet the farm there aren't many out there as good as Herta. She is helpfully and firmly critical when necessary and free with useful praise when you get it right. Plus, she is intelligent, personable, and great fun to work with.

Herta is a really good editor. Her comments are thorough, helpful and honest. Her suggestions are such that even an extensive revision becomes a nice challenge, rather than discouraging feedback.

Personalized Service. I contacted Chrysalis Editorial for a critique on my first manuscript. They were always prompt, professional and friendly. Herta took the time to understand what my writing goals were, and what the background to my project was. Herta's critique was perceptive, realistic and encouraging. Included in my critique were very useful tips and suggestions to help me achieve my project goals and generally develop as a writer. I also have a second project I'll be taking to Herta for her expert services. I strongly recommend contacting Chrysalis Editorial in the first instance.

Outstanding- Highly Recommended

I contact Chrysalis Editorial for help on a unique project. They promptly replied to my email, stating that they would be happy to help and would be flexible considering my circumstances. Throughout the process I was continually pleased by not only their writing services, but also their friendly, but professional communication and genuine dedication to my success with the project. Furthermore, they worked closely with me and at no time did I feel uncertain of where we were with the project or if something was going to be overlooked. I would highly recommend them to others.

A wise decision for editing short stories

"I found Herta at the point when I thought my short stories were good but had a feeling of unease; maybe they could be better. She found some areas where I could improve the story with just a little editing. Her reply and suggestions were dead on. Where I had concerns, so did she. It was as if she were sitting at my elbow as I wrote. I made the changes, put the manuscript away for a week and when I visited the revised story, I knew that I had made a wise and lucky decision in sending my story to Herta.”

Praise for Chrysalis!

Herta has been a fantastic help in my writing career. I noticed an improvement in my work immediately and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a supportive, talented, editor/ ghost writer/writing coach.
