Lynne is truly exceptional, as an editor, as a writer, and as a mentor. I knew from the first time we spoke that I was entrusting my book to an experienced editor and person I could trust. She not only crafted my book with tremendous care, thoroughness, and attention to detail but also provided invaluable guidance and mentorship along the way. I can't speak highly enough of Lynne. She is a master at what she does!

Lynne performed editorial magic on my first book. Like a sculptor, she craftily chipped off all that was diluting my message, bringing forth the hidden masterpiece. I loved the systematic, highly professional, and efficient collaboration at all direct editing and copyediting stages. Her pleasant personality made it a real treat to work together. She is a highly skilled editor who made my manuscript so much better while preserving my voice. I am delighted with the final product and highly recommend Lynne’s editing services for your next book.

"Lynne came into my life at the perfect time. I desperately needed a proofreader for a large revision of the extensive course materials for my premiere book writing program. As you can imagine, I wanted someone impeccable for the job. Lynne provided that and so much more. In addition to proofreading, Lynne pointed out some areas for clarification and even rewrote sentences here and there for better clarity and flow. Then, she formatted the work beautifully and in a way that engages readers. Lynne always made deadlines, often faster than expected.
"So, when it came time for an editor for my next book--The Joy of Writing Journal: Spark Your Creativity in 8 Minutes a Day--I was thrilled that Lynne was available. She did an excellent job once again and my book won five book awards, including the prestigious Nautilus, IPPY, and Ben Franklin Book Awards.
"Lynne is such an asset to have on any writing and publishing team. In addition to her editing skills, she is an excellent communicator, a pleasure to work with, and holds high standards for herself. I feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services."

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lynne Heinzmann, who provided copyediting and proofreading services for my book. She furnished me with insightful perspectives and helped sculpt the book's content while giving detailed explanations of the changes she made and gently coaching me to be a better writer. I am very happy with the project that we worked on together. I will definitely come back to her again for my next book.

Lynne is a dedicated writer and a fine editor. Her background in architecture gives her a unique perspective as to story structure and relevant detail. Working with Lynne always reveals positive, constructive advice in a helpful and timely manner. She is equally adept with both fiction and non-fiction and brings a special blend of skill and insight to every project. I highly recommend Lynne both to develop and support new work or to review and polish existing manuscripts. Her professionalism is a welcome port in any writer's storm.

Every time I submit a manuscript [to Lynne], I can expect from her a detailed, carefully written, critique of what I have done as well as equally professional editing/proofreading comments. She always gives me new ideas and helps improve my albeit modest writing skills.

[Lynne’s] assessment and guidance were critical in keeping my story moving in the right direction—staying true to my intent as an author but with an eye to what the reader would experience. She challenged word choice, tweaked grammar to be more concise, gave smiley faces when a passage truly earned it, asked questions when a sentence or section went rogue, gave suggestions when characters weren’t defined or—even worse—when what was written was not honest to the character at all. She has made me a better writer, period.
