Valerie was excellent as the editor for my book, The 7 Laws of Breakthrough. She was easy to work with understanding my style and keeping “me” in the book. She also oversaw the entire process of getting the book ready to go to print. This included my cover design, type set, working with the printer on my behalf and more. As the editor she also contributed information into my book that enhanced the reader’s experience. I highly recommend Valerie for this type of project.

If you are a writer who desires to improve your writing ability and thereby become published, I would highly recommend Valerie Paine to you. I cannot express my appreciation enough for the outstanding work that Valerie performed in helping me get my first book published! Her encouragement as she edited my manuscript and designed the book cover resulted in my book, A Journey to Contentment: Navigating through Divorce being used as required reading in a Christian Institution for their Biblical Counseling curriculum. Valerie is a real professional with strong editorial skills, artistic ability and a great encourager.
