Testimonials:

It's hard to find a strong content editor, but Claudette has the experience and the finesse to pull off even the most complicated of projects, as mine usually are. Not only is she great at what she does, but she's extremely efficient and unbelievably patient with my shifting deadlines and artsy attitude at times. I appreciate her helping me take my stories from good to great.

I can’t say enough great things about Claudette Melanson as an editor.  I was blown away by her editing skills and completely fell in love with what she did with my book, Bound by Blood.  Her attention to detail, professionalism, and way with words are amazing, all while keeping the author’s voice intact.  She is very personable, easy to work with, and her turnaround time is extremely fast.  If you’re looking for an editor, I highly recommend Claudette.  I know I will be using her services for all my books!

Looking for a wonderful editor that will not let you down?  Well, I will tell you first hand that Claudette Melanson is one of the best.  I have went through three editors, paid a small fortune for them and they did not do their job. I was about to give up when I meant Claudette. She not only did an excellent job but also is a fantastic editor.  I could never repay her for the work she had done, she's a wonderful person that I now consider a friend. He prices are right and her work is perfection.  Thank you so much Claudette for all you have done for me.

As an independent author, I take my work very seriously. It can be a lonely planet for us writers, and the additional support of an editor is essential in order to put your best foot forward in this very competitive marketplace. I came upon Claudette Melanson as a referral from a fellow author I follow on Facebook and Twitter. From first contact, I found Claudette to be professional, personable and attentive to my needs. I did a test run with Claudette on an excerpt from my new novel, ABERRANT and not only did she work quickly -- by turning the pages around in several days -- she also gave insightful feedback to improve the storyline as well as keep the author’s voice intact, what Claudette lovingly refers to as “hearing the voice.” I highly recommend Claudette for your editing needs and I look forward to a long and professional relationship with her.

As a playwright, when I began my search for a reputable editor who had some experience with stage plays, I had no idea how difficult that search would be.  “No, I don’t do plays” was the most popular answer.  Second most popular, “I have never edited a stage play, but I’m sure I can do it”.  After a few basic questions, I quickly realized, they had no idea how a stage play works.  The third most popular answer was, no but I do edit screenplays.  I finally put out a call to several of my author friends, one of which recommended author and editor, Claudette Melanson.  To my delight, Claudette had the experience was very knowledgeable in this area.  Our agreement was for developmental (or substantive) editing only.  I expressed the concern that with this particular piece I feared that I may be personally too close to the work to be objective.  She went far beyond what I asked of her.  My play, “Pressing On” is not only ready for production but for publication as well thanks to Claudette, she did it all.  She couldn’t have been more caring or commited to my work than if it had been her own.  She is simply amazing. I found her to be very professional and a complete joy to work with.  I highly recommend Claudette Melanson to any prose writer of any kind.

I highly recommend Claudette. I came to her with issues regarding my book and the formatting for print. Claudette was very friendly and kept me in the loop the whole way. She helped me get my book into print-ready format in a good amount of time, and I'm finally able to give my book to the world! Thanks again Claudette!
