TESTIMONIALS

You have a beautiful, light touch, a wonderful sense of nuance, and an elegant conciseness—all executed with breathtaking detail, precision, and consistency. Thank you so much for what you did with my book—you made an amateur's souffle look like a chef's signature dish.

– Les McKeown, author of Predictable Success


Your entire job is spotless as usual, and I can see that again you've put your heart into it. I greatly appreciate your help with my work, because to me, no one else does it better than you!

– Silviya, master's degree candidate


All I can say is, hallelujah for Amy McIlwaine! Amy's specific suggestions throughout my book were spot on. Her keen insights and gift with words made my entire book better. She is also a joy to work with.
– Rachel Egan, author of New Woman, New Mom


We all have a desire to impress our audience with the very best communication of our thoughts and ideas. As a result, we can get locked into a pattern where we miss our own goal. Amy helped me break through that invisible barrier and move into the organized and thorough completion of my mental picture to achieve the desired result.  Amy is phenomenal in her skills and in getting inside the writer’s mind to develop the finished work. She is efficient and timely as she guides the writer through suggested improvements of the manuscript, all while complementing—not altering—the style and skill of the author. I believe any writer will be pleased in his/her choice of Amy to aid in finishing any project with expert clarity.    
 – David R. Hardiman, author of Bailey's Remarkable Plan

Thanks! You did a great job. You saved us a lot of potential embarrassment!
