I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible work you have done on my book. Your edits have truly transformed the manuscript, and I am thrilled with the final result. Following your suggestion, I made the decision to remove chapter 12 and part of 13, and I must say, the flow of the story is now much stronger and more cohesive. Your keen eye for detail and storytelling expertise have truly made a difference, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Overall, I am confident that with your expertise and guidance, this book will be a success. Your assertive approach and attention to detail have been invaluable throughout this process, and I am grateful for your dedication to making this project the best it can be.

Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication. I look forward to continuing our collaboration on future projects and seeing this book come to life in the hands of readers.

With Gratitude,

Alice Heiserman indexed my non-fiction career book for women. She acted professionally and with integrity throughout the entire process, and her rate was fair. Her response time was fast in all areas. I appreciated her flexibility in agreeing to work with me before knowing a firm deadline and then working quickly once it was time for the indexing. She was very knowledgeable and thorough.

Alice has great expertise and background in assisting someone trying to get their book project published. She was absolutely fantastic in working with me on my book project and I truly appreciated her patience, caring and positive attitude, and always motivating me we would get the book done. Alice has a great sense of humor and her feedback, edits, and recommendations were awesome! I am truly elated to be working on my second book project with her!! She's the "BEST"!!

I have had the honor of knowing Alice Heiserman for nearly 18 years. I am a correctional author and trainer, and have written over 60 journal articles and blog entries as well as 10 books about corrections.  My publishers include the American Correctional Association, Carolina Academic Press, and Pearson Prentice Hall. My writings are based on over 27 years of working in corrections.

  Alice has helped me tremendously through the years with many of these projects.   Due to her many years of working in research and publications at the American Correctional Association, she has a practical, keen and informative insight about corrections and the ability to edit, proof and improve any written material in a variety of topics.  Any writer who enlists her help will not be disappointed. She has a natural ability to take a fresh look at material and greatly improve it.  She is thorough, disciplined, and pays great attention to detail.  I recommend her highly for assisting anyone who is writing for publication.

You are one of the best editors!

I would highly recommend Alice for any book project. She was a guiding force in the publishing of my domestic violence manual, Hands Down. Alice was instrumental in editing and polishing my new book: Bodies in Beds: Why Business Should Stay Out of Prisons, into publishing form. It would never be at this stage without her expert assistance. I look forward to this publication and future projects with Alice.”

After I wrote a news story/press release for an online newspaper for her, she wrote: “Wow, Alice, I am amazed—such great treatment and boost for a book. Thank you.

Alice has edited four books that I have co-authored and a couple of articles that I have written over the years. All I can say is that Alice is a magnificent editor, advisor, and teacher. I highly recommend Alice to help you publish your book in the new year.

Anyone who has written a dissertation or a thesis will agree with me that there comes a time when you become too comfortable with your own writing to the extent that you fail to notice the most obvious mistakes. A second pair of eyes certainly makes the difference in identifying those mistakes.

“My experience dealing with Alice is that not only does she identify those minor errors, but also, she recreates sentences to give the reader clearer meaning. She read every single line of my 203-page dissertation and provided more clarity to the flow of ideas in each paragraph. I will continue to work with her in the long term as I anticipate publishing my first book. I will recommend this experienced editor to anyone who cares about quality in writing.

Every successful person has someone in their history that has served as a “helping hand” by providing inspiration and helpful advice. There is no doubt in my mind that Alice Heiserman serves as that person for many. In our work and friendship, she has provided very sound, well thought out, ideas for professional and personal development. We have published books and articles together and there is no doubt, if desired, we could solve the world’s problems. I have been extremely grateful for our relationship. Her expertise and guidance is the kind of thing every aspiring writer should have available.

You are the BEST!!! I’m not sure if you know how much your work helps me in my daily struggles. I can’t wait to read this version.

Alice was amazing! From the very beginning, she was friendly, excited about the project [Ph.D. thesis] and professional. After a day, Alice became more and more committed to my project and was so personable. Her comments were helpful, honest, and professional. I felt like I had known her for years! Her feedback was prompt and wonderful. I rate her as professional and personable, par excellence!

Alice is an exceptional editor and guide. I chose her because her description of being a conductor was appealing to me as a first-time writer. In our conversations, she has provided me with a lot of great advice from the small details of editing to big picture issues. She has been generous with her time, punctual, has a great sense of humor (so needed in 2020), and is thoroughly knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Alice to anyone who wants to work with a professional committed to their project and to have an outstanding result like mine.

Alice is an excellent and great editor with a phenomenal understanding of English literature and talent to see the story from the start to the end. Her work on my book included developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading. She worked on my book with a passion to develop an ordinary story into an extraordinary story. I am a first-time author’; she turned my book into a page-turner. My children didn’t get much interest in my book before her editing. This is what my son said after her editing. “Dad, I loved your story. I couldn’t put it down. It is almost 2 am.” This is the power of a good editor. She is professional, punctual and changes your book from okay, a book to a page-turner. I recommend anyone thinking about editing a job to hire her without any hesitation or doubt. I am very picky and detail-oriented. I searched for a good editor for months and finally settled for her after a few telephone conversations. I know now that I made the right decision to hire Alice for my book editing.

I’m forever indebted to Alice Heiserman for editorial help, keen insight, and ongoing support in bringing my stories to life. Because of her efforts and encouragement, I have a story of fathers to pass on to my family and others where one didn’t exist before. Wow! You are the best! Thx
