“Daniel Burgess is a gifted editor and teacher. He improved upon my work and shared valuable lessons in the process, providing the best return for my investment in his professional services. I am thankful and blessed that an editor in as such great demand as Daniel chose to dedicate his time, talent, and wisdom to me, a first-time author, and to my manuscript. Because of his wizardry with words my story is everything I dreamed it could be, and more.”
—Grant Overstake, author of The Real Education of TJ Crowley
“Daniel does magic with line-editing, changing only a word or two and creating a sentence that says exactly what I wanted to say when I hadn’t quite gotten there. The most amazing thing about working with him, though, is that he completely understood my novel. I thought, ‘My gosh, he really gets it!’ From there, it was easy to trust his suggestions, which were always provided in a gentle and thoughtful way. I will definitely be working with Daniel on my next book.”
—Branka Valčić, author of The Lady of the Sea
“Daniel approached my manuscript with the precision of a surgeon, careful to keep my voice while trimming the ‘fat.’ Because of Daniel’s work, major themes of my writing, as well as character traits, have been surfaced, thus making the reading experience more impactful within a much more manageable word count. Although difficult to part with some of the phrasing that was cut, I would not say that any of these changes were unexpected or unnecessary. To say I’m pleased with the current manuscript would be an understatement. Daniel has done great work and should be commended for his efforts. In addition to the changes, Daniel provided a rationale, which proved to be just as valuable as the changes themselves.”
