For as long as I continue writing, Susan Hughes is the only editor I will work with.

There were times when we differed, but the ensuing process made for a better book. Susan is a consummate professional who understands writers and their egos, but insists that standards be followed.

One reviewer of my recent book called it “well-written” and “meticulously edited.” Like love and marriage – as the old song opines – you can’t have one without the other. Every writer needs a professional editor.

Beyond comma placement, POV, and being a ruthless enemy of adverbs, Susan is a charming woman with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend her to any writer intent on producing an excellent work.

Lucky for me, she is now both a dear colleague and friend.
