What People Are Saying
“My book Rekindle Your Dreams never would have been picked up by a publisher if it weren’t for Lee Warren’s critique of my book proposal. Because of his efforts, I was confident when I submitted my proposal to editors that it was solid and grammatically sound. I recommend Lee to everyone who wants to increase their chances of being published. His corrections, questions and recommendations were invaluable.”
— Trish Porter, Olympian and author
“I had the honor of working with Lee Warren as an editor for my book. He was both thorough and thoughtful. He really took the time to hear where I was coming from and then edited the book accordingly. It is obvious that he is passionate about his work.”
— Colleen Sullivan Clapper, author
“Lee recently proofread two of my books and was very thorough. As well as the normal proofreading, I also asked him to change my manuscript into U.S. English, which was a lot more work than I realized. Yet, Lee completed the task with a level of detail that was well beyond my expectations. He is also very patient—a wonderful quality in a proofreader. My second book had a lot of the same mistakes as the first, which I totally missed, but he didn’t complain. I’d highly recommend his work.”
— Susan Barnes, author
