Copyediting projects:

Three book covers and feedback from M.E. Thornwood: Maine Woods Editing was amazing to work with. Betsy was so easy to talk to and really made the whole process so easy. She had a quick turnaround time and an absolutely beautiful style sheet with all the important information lined up for you. She taught me so much about my writing and was excited to help me grow as an author. She was very personable and an absolute joy to work with!d working with Betsy Judkins of Maine Woods Editing. She makes the editing process painless, educational, and positive. Her great sense of humor put me at ease right away, but what I have deeply appreciated is that she is dependable, smart, and a clear communicator, and she takes her job seriously. She has an expert eye for detail, and she is extremely easy to work with. My only regret in our working relationship is that I did not find her sooner! Betsy is a tremendous asset, and I recommend her highly.

Six book covers and feedback from Adele Knight: Betsy is a fantastic cheerleader and an amazing editor. Her passion for editing shows in her detailed feedback, and her love of the romance genre is evident in the fun comments she sprinkles throughout the manuscript, highlighting her favorite parts. Her kind, encouraging words and professionalism create an enjoyable and successful author-editor relationship. I plan to work with her again on all my future projects.

One book cover and feedback from Maureen Milliken: I was concerned about finding the right editor for my book. As an experienced editor myself, as well as a published author who has been through the editing process before, I'm picky and want someone who gets what I'm doing, as well as knows the craft of editing. I met Betsy at an author event and just talking to her for 10 minutes, I knew that she would be great. She knows her stuff, is extremely professional, takes what she does seriously, and cares about the manuscript. All communication was clear and straightforward, from the initial discussion, through payment, to the edits and notes. I was thrilled to find Betsy and thrilled at the work she did on my book. It definitely made it better. I highly recommend her, no matter what your level of writing.

One book cover and feedback from Kelly Renway: Working with Maine Woods Editing was the best decision I made for my book. As a novice author, I probably required more work than some, but Betsy was undaunted. She provided me with thorough edits, guidance, and incredible patience. Her edits were timely, and she communicated throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend her services enough.
One book cover and feedback from Esme Brett: Betsy is a hero wielding Track Changes! She is thoughtful, diligent, and very responsive. Having her edit my debut spicy rom-com (Eye Candy) was a smooth process and valuable experience. I'm definitely a member of the Maine Woods Editing fan club.

She also included feedback and suggestions for potential improvement on more big-picture items along with the copyedits.

One book cover and feedback from editor Charles Luckmann: Elizabeth Judkins, of Maine Woods Editing LLC, is a thorough copyeditor and proofreader. She asks good questions and makes helpful edits and comments in preparing a manuscript for publication. She helped us prepare an anthology of over 50 essays for layout and design. She’s also fun to work with! I plan to use her services again.  —Charles Luckmann, editor; Flying Trout Press, Bellingham, WA
