Kind Words from Quiethouse Clients
"I am incredibly happy that I found Starr. She’s professional, fun to work with, and does an exemplary job. Starr’s a copy editor and line editor rolled into one—a full package deal—and when she makes suggestions they’re always well thought out and fit with the tone of the work. She has edited three of my books so far, and I can’t imagine going with anyone else!"

"Starr’s professional attitude and painstaking efforts to make my book better are much appreciated. I’m often amazed at the little (and big) goofs she corrects. Plus, she has this gentle way of suggesting an alternate word or phrase, and she’s usually right. For us writers, working alone and hunched over our keyboards, it’s nice to know someone in the real world is looking out for us. My wife, who does not give up commendation readily, reviewed her edits and said, 'This editor is a lot better than your last one.' It’s no wonder her name is Starr!"

“Starr’s editing [of the first 10,000 words] definitely improved my writing. Beyond errors in word usage, grammar, and punctuation, she pointed out passages that needed clarification and made suggestions to improve the flow of dialogue.
I appreciated the way she provided links to sources for rules and tips on the items she corrected. She also provided valuable references for books on writing.”
