Testimonials from Clients:

Dear Willy,

When I first wrote Double Identity, I was sure I had a real good story. After about fifty rejections, I re-wrote it, then re-wrote it again, and then had it critiqued (for a fee) by a publisher’s representative. The feedback was very valuable. I was told that my work was “publishable” and that I had a gift for language and especially for dialogue. I was greatly encouraged. However, another 50 rejections put a damper on my enthusiasm.

My purpose for writing this letter is to thank you. Your editing work has been exactly what Double Identity needed. And your expert coaching is exactly what I needed. With your guidance and encouragement, I have broken the rejection cycle, and finally gotten my manuscript published! (go to www.Amazon.com : Double Identity by Charley Webb – my “pen name”)

Anyone who has written or is writing can ill afford not to have your professional guidance.

Warm Personal Regards,
Chuck Wilcox

I am writing this letter to acknowledge Will Mathes for the work he did in editing my book, Reach Your Stars (Bee Happy Publishing). This book would not be what it is without Will's having put his heart and soul and many long hours into it, especially in terms of its organization and capturing the intent I originally had for it. His attention to detail, the sense of "flow," and the overall "shine" of the manuscript was superb. I highly recommend Will Mathes to anyone seeking a superlative editor who shows care for both preserving the author's voice and bringing out the very best in the work.

Sincerely,
Debbie Happy Cohen, Author Reach Your Stars: A Guide to Fulfill Your Dreams, Not Someday, But NOW!

Aside from his top-notch editing abilities, one of the main reasons I retained Willy was his extensive knowledge and experience with spiritual subjects. Telepathy and remote viewing play major roles in the plot. Willy was familiar with these and other mystic skills, which was instrumental in bringing Mystic Warrior to its fullest expression. Willy is currently editing a non-fiction manuscript for me.
--Edwin Harkness Spina, author of Mystic Warrior
