“Shortly after I embarked on my first attempt at writing a book, I was introduced to Miranda at Pen and Press and very quickly learned that researching and writing is of little importance without the expertise and guidance of a professional to edit, rewrite, proofread, and take over the process of producing a result I could be proud of. Miranda did all of this and much more. I will be indebted to her forever.”

“When my friend, a published writer, recommended Pen and Press as a source for review and advice on my first manuscript, little did I know how thorough, thoughtful, and valuable their suggestions and comments would turn out to be. The macro- and micro-analyses, complete with annotations, flagged paragraphs, and constructive criticism (as well as kudos!), have provided me with first-rate tools with which I may target and revise areas of needed improvement. Rock-solid advice from a well-organized editorial service.” “By the time we finished our first meeting, perhaps for the first time in my life, my creative thoughts had been validated. Mind you, not pie-in-the-sky, 'Gee, you're great, quit your job and buy a lot of pens and a condo in the Keys,' validation (although, as you know, I did quit my job. Should I have waited?). You provided me with wonderfully honest, pragmatic, and professional encouragement. I haven't been the same since and it feels great!” “Miranda Hersey Helin has worked for me in numerous capacities over the past eight years, making invaluable contributions to my publishing company. She’s a very astute editor, with a sharp eye that never fails to root out enemy errors.”
