Happy Writers
I found my dream editor! Val's sensitivity to my manuscript made it a pleasure to work with her. She knew exactly what had to be cut and what was needed to make my manuscript soar. Val is easy to talk to and her quick turn around time is a huge plus. I can honestly say after working with Val, I have become a better writer and a client for life.
Stephanie Baldi, Fiction Writer
Working with Val makes the entire editing process easier. I feel supported and encouraged, and that can make all the difference to an inspiring author. I learn something new every time I work with her.
Vickie Carroll, Author Witches of Half Moon Island
I have thoroughly enjoyed working one-on-one with Val Mathews. The editing process is so helpful to me as a writer. I completely trust Val’s judgment and spot-on suggestions. Her skills as an editor have made my stories stronger. I highly recommend Val and The Exit 271 Studio to anyone looking for editing services.
