Testimonials
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amanda on all of my books through Hot Tree Editing. She always pays close attention to details, never missing an inconstancy if there is one. She’ll give you valuable feedback on your plot and content, and if she finds something not adding up, she’ll always explain to you what’s missing or what needs to be changed. Above else, she is honest and kind. I highly recommend her to other authors and can’t wait to work with her on more of my books."
V.F. Mason "Mandy is the nuts! This is British-ism for AWESOME, but she would know that as she IS awesome. With Mandy, you get an editor / proofreader who will pick apart every ellipsis and comma, without drowning out your own voice. She’s a great combination of chilled out and high maintenance. And she’s a little zany. She’ll let you decide what you want to do with her edits, but edit she will, until you’re seeing track changes in your sleep. She’ll catch those missing letters, and those words you’ve misused ‘cause they sound almost exactly the same as those other words you swore they were, even though they’re not. I’ve used her proofreading services and can highly recommend her without hesitation. She’s thorough, but fair – damn fast, too – and you’ll have a good laugh while she’s tearing your manuscript apart. Take her on if you dare – you won’t regret it :D" Dianna Hardy “I really loved the attention to detail and the comprehensive feedback Amanda gave. Not only did she ensure every jot, tittle and missing comma was in place … she let me know what made her laugh, what made her cry and what pulled her out of the story. She also gave an analysis on my characters, plot and location. Not once did she make me feel that any comment or change was mandatory and she was willing to discuss any questions I had on comments or changes she’d suggested. I was so impressed with her that I’ve already given her a second manuscript to dissect with her fine-tooth-comb and I have a third waiting in the wings.” TP Hogan "I have had the privilege to work with Amanda on my first release and on my current WIP. She is absolutely amazing at her work! Being a new author I was extremely nervous and she is great about answering any questions. She dragged my manuscript through the dirt and in turn made it beautiful. While being brutal on my use of Russian language, she was humorous and gave me useful criticism. I am very proud to publish my work knowing I had her seal of approval. I look forward to having her master editing skills and feedback in all of my future work!"

"Amanda has been with me for all of my books and I’m very lucky to have her. I've loved working with Amanda. Her notes are thorough and helped make each of my books much better than they were. She lifts the manuscript to a new level, without jeopardizing my voice. Amanda also shows me the weaker sections of my book, so that I can go back and pay more attention to those areas. She's very honest and that’s exactly what I want. I’m incredibly grateful she’s still working with me."
Evie Harper “I have had the pleasure of working with Amanda a.k.a. The Picky Bitch; she has edited both print and eBooks for me, and offered stellar storyline and continuity advice. The level of professionalism is superb, and Amanda has a way of finding grammatical and storyline errors that others miss. As amazing as she is, she’s also incredibly humble, and a true joy to work with. I know when I hand over a book, that she’s going to treat it as if it were her own, and take as much pride in the finished work as I do. I highly recommend The Picky Bitch for any authors who want a talented editor in their corner.” R.E. Butler "I engaged Amanda’s service for my third novel, The Debt, and I couldn’t be happier. Amanda gives sound advice, even if at first you don’t want to hear it, truly caring about helping you make your work as polished as it possibly can. I will be retaining The Picky Bitch for all of my future works. Highly recommend." Amy Rose Suspenseful dark romance author. |
