I loved working with Penni! A professional in every way, she copyedited both of my novels in an engaging and timely manner. She was clear with me what I should expect about the editing process and stuck to the timelines she quoted. Not to mention, she is very knowledgeable in her craft, and stays on top of current industry standards. I could not have produced such high quality work (or an award winning book :) without her.

Working with Penni was a joy! She edited both of my books and since it was a series she was very instrumental in helping me keep things (character traits, plot threads, settings, etc.) straight in the second book. She is very organized and straightforward (which I prefer). All of her suggestions made the books better and she was always available when I needed to ask a question or run a scenario by her. If I'm lucky enough to bring the third book in the series to print, she will definitely be my go-to editor!

When I contracted Penni Askew to edit my manuscript, I expected her critique on the things I could improve. I didn’t expect her applause for the things I had done well. What a bonus to be able to hire an accomplished editor and a cheerleader for one price. Her edits were meticulous, complete, and always delivered gently with encouragement. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Penni, look forward to future collaborations with her, and offer my most enthusiastic endorsement for her editing services.

I just wanted to email to thank you again for your edits on "Rise Above." It is officially complete, submitted, and off to find its way in the world. I think those notes gave it the final push toward completion, so many thanks once more.

I have 30 years of professional writing experience and choosing Penni Askew as my editor is one of the best decisions I ever made. Her line and copyediting helped bring out the unique voice in each of my books. Her prompt response time and client-centered patience are highly professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her for all your editing needs!

Penni has edited my last three sweet and wholesome romance stories. Every line I wrote was carefully scrutinized with helpful (and I might add, spot on) compact and powerful suggestions and comments, which brought new life to my characters, plots, and storylines. She showed me what I was doing right, and what I needed to improve upon as well as how to achieve my goals. I appreciate and respect her honest and straightforward approach.

Penni is awesome. I’ve used her for a full edit and several copyedits. She goes above and beyond with her feedback and makes my work shine. I won’t use anyone else!

Thank you for the wonderful critique of my manuscript. You helped me write several scenes better while keeping my own voice. I never felt as though you were re-writing my scenes for me. Your confidence in my writing inspired me to do better—thank you!
Your editorial points were right on target, and I appreciate it very much. I now know where best to use a hyphen.
What I like most about your editing style is the passion and enthusiasm you have for reading a good book. You enjoy what you do, and it shows. It’s encouraging.
With your help, I feel like I’ve written a book that readers will enjoy.
I’m looking forward to working with you again.
