I can confidently state that she has consistently produced stellar editing. Ms. Gilliam has proved herself to be an asset when working with some of Kensington Publishing Corp.’s top acquisition editors. She has more than earned her status as a vital member of my team.

Lisa Gilliam made our first time working with a professional editor an easy, engaging, and rewarding experience.  Having completed over ten drafts of our novel, running the chapters through every spelling and grammar check imaginable, we were floored by how many issues still remained that Lisa caught. One of the best parts of working with Lisa was the opportunity to learn from her. Her knowledge of English and grammar is vast and we will be better writers moving forward because of it.

Lisa is professional, meticulous, and easy to communicate with. She offered great advice and made the editing process as painless as it could be by giving clear explanations to her corrections and suggestions. Her formatting skills are worth every penny. I’ve learned so much during our collaboration and I know I would not have a publishable book without her help. Recommended.

Lisa has been my copyeditor for two novels and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Her mastery of grammar is beyond belief. If you ever question one of her suggestions, she’ll recite specific rules that support her recommendation. She also has an excellent eye for spelling and fact checking. Plus she provides a detailed style sheet which is invaluable for a novel series. She also just finished laying out the print and e-book versions of the first novel. Not only is she exceptional with both services, but she is also personable, responsive, punctual and fun. I highly recommend working with Lisa. She rates ten stars in my book.

Lisa was an absolute joy to work with. This was my first time working with a professional editor, so my questions were many and varied. She was patient throughout, always providing clear explanations for her changes along with references that helped educate me as an author. She also provided incredibly valuable developmental advice above and beyond the project scope. Throughout it all, I never felt like my voice or my story was compromised in any way–just vastly improved. I look forward to working with Lisa on Book 2!

This is my first time working with Lisa but certainly not the last. She came in to the team batting cleanup, that is, the proofreading leg of the race. But as the anchor she was wonderful in identifying, correcting, and modernizing my grammar in my fourth novel. For example, Lisa identified that Wright Patterson Air Force Base, was actually spelled Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, according to the USAF website. Now, what was amazing about that is this, I was born and raised not far from WPAFB and must have seen signs for that base a thousand times, but when I went to write it, I didn’t even notice I was omitting the hyphen. I hope to team up with her again on the next project. Thanks Lisa, I sincerely enjoyed working with you and my novel got racheted up a few notches because of your efforts.

Loved working with Lisa. While some editors I’ve tried to work with from other, cheaper sites have been abrasive, sometimes bordering on insulting, when dealing with me, Lisa was nothing but courteous and effective in her edits of my work. Where past editors have sent me lackluster explanations of vague areas I could improve on, Lisa, in her copious notes, gave thorough, yet concise feedback on grammatical rules I was commonly missing, and story elements that didn’t make sense. Any hesitation I had about hiring a professional has totally disappeared after working with this amazing editor.

I’ve worked with Lisa on three projects. Each experience with her has exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism and attention to detail on each of my thriller novels helped my writing reach a new level. I especially appricate that her notes are clear and direct and she completes them in a timely fashion. Her thoughtful questions on the text often prompted me to dig deeper and push myself to be more clear and direct–the hallmark of good writing. I’m looking forward to working with Lisa on future projects and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking the highest quality professional.
