From the Author

 “Joy is a professional guide as an editor, being able to enhance where needed and to discuss options when needed. I had complete confidence in her work of editing, preparing photos for publication, making connections with the printer to ensure accuracy in all aspects of the book and for its timelines. Preparing the first page of the story for example was so gratifying: selecting fonts for text, placement of page numbers, adding appropriate logo and use of quality paper. It looked like a dream come true. Her confidence in the project is reassuring and calming to the client. She goes above and beyond as she drove miles to join me for the first book signing.”
