What Authors Have to Say
“Joseph Collins proofread the manuscript for me, and the book came out better because of it.”
He was great to work with. He kept in touch the whole way through, so I always knew where things stood, and he hit every deadline he gave me. A couple of times he got things back to me early. If you've ever waited on someone and heard nothing for weeks, you know how much that matters.
The thing I appreciated most was how careful he was with the writing itself. By the time I handed the manuscript over I'd read it so many times I couldn't see my own mistakes anymore. He caught all of it. But he did it without changing the way I sound. The book still reads like me, just cleaner. He also explained why he made the changes he made, which I really liked. I never felt like I was just accepting edits I didn't understand.
I'd recommend him to any author, no hesitation. He's good at what he does, he's easy to communicate with, and he clearly cares about the writers he works with. If you want someone who will take your book seriously and actually talk to you along the way, he's your guy.

“Joseph was great to work with. He caught so many little things I’d read over a hundred times and still somehow missed. I was a little nervous about having someone else go through my book, but he didn’t change my voice or make it sound like someone else wrote it. It still felt like my book, just much cleaner. His notes were easy to understand, and I never felt confused about why he made a change. I’d absolutely work with him again.”
