“When an editor is as available and
kind as Ellen is throughout the entire editing process, it puts
a writer at ease. With topnotch editing skills to boot, she's
simply nirvana! Weary writers of the world, give yourself a treat...relax
into Ellen\'s competent hands, assured that you will not only be
delighted with and confident in the results but will enjoy the
process all along the way.”

"On Christmas Eve 2006, we received the best present ever - Ellen Beck's email address. After almost ten years of trying to write my best friend's life story, fate stepped in and brought us Ellen, the most amazing editor. She was the answer to our prayers and spent the next nine months taking the pieces of our manuscript and molding it into a book that once you pick it up you can't put down. She taught us not only the difference between "then" and "than" but how to "show" a story versus "tell" it. So, thank you, Ellen, for helping to make our dream come true."

"Ellen, thank
you for the wonderful editing work that you did
on my book. You promised it would be done in three
weeks, and it was. Your patience and "little
extras" were much appreciated. I would definitely
recommend your services to other people and will
be using your expert skills again when I finish
my next book. Thank you again."

"I had serious
doubts as to whether or not I should attempt to
have a book published until I made contact with
Ellen Beck. It was only after my correspondence with
and encouragement from Ellen that I decided to
continue with the story and depend on her to provide
guidance with respect to chapter organization
and editing of the material for grammatical corrections.
Ellen was responsive to all of my questions, and
her organization of the major portions of
the books content into chapters was of immense
value to me. Her descriptive 'Part' and 'Chapter' headings
were most appropriate and I accepted her recommendations
in this area of the book structure. Her understanding
and patience with a new and uneducated author
helped make the book possible, and for that she
has my eternal gratitude."

"My biggest concern with
using an editor was my fear that he/she would distort my
intended messages for the reader. My fears were put
aside after initial discussions with Ellen Beck. She
assured me that she would make every effort to preserve
my thoughts and make edits only to create better flow. She
did exactly that! The end result was a book that
captured my messages in a clean and crisp expression. Thanks
to Ellen, my son's legacy lives on in a well written book!"

“This was my first book, and Ellen guided me through the steps of getting my "mess" of notes through to publishing. I would have never done it without Ellen. She provides good service, and she is fair and reasonably priced. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an editor.”

"At first, I
was skeptical about the editing process. Choosing
Ellen Beck to edit my first book manuscript is
one of the best business decisions I have ever
made. Ellen is not only professional, but extremely
talented and insightful. Conscientious and reliable,
she informed me when she would begin working on
my manuscript, and when to expect her to finish.
She provided me with an editing status report
and did exactly what she said she would do. Ellen
enhanced my writing style and gave the needed
clarity without changing my voice. I have the
highest regard for her amazing work, and I am
deeply grateful for her guidance and all she has
done for me. I will not hesitate to use Ellen
Beck’s editorial services again, should I decide
to write another book manuscript."
