TESTIMONIALS
One of my best finds [in 2014] was Christy Callahan. I'm always looking for someone who can find mistakes that somehow sneak through multiple edits, know how to fix them while maintaining the voice of the author, and do it all with a positive, can-do attitude. I've found all of these characteristics and more in Christy. She works hard and turns projects quickly. Her communication is clear and professional. The heart and talent she brings to each project has been a huge blessing to me and to the authors we serve. I highly commend her editorial services to anyone who has a message to share with the world.

I appreciate Christy’s grasp of the English language and attention to detail!
Dylesia Barner, Reedsy, May 2020
I recently worked with Christy on two essays. I found her edits to be very helpful as they improved the readability of my work significantly. She also assisted in rearranging the chronology on one of the essays that I'd been struggling with for a week. She was pleasant to work with and met my very short deadlines (2- day turn around for each essay). Much appreciated.

Thank you for being so patient with a new writer. You made the process much easier. As I went over and over the stories, the feelings often came back. I am glad that the book will be out soon to help others who are grieving.
Rebecca Carpenter, author of Ambushed by Glory in My Grief
I appreciated working with Christy as she edited my women’s Bible study Choices of the Heart. She was sensitive to my 'voice' and the ideas I wanted to share. Yet she gently asked me pertinent questions to make sure I communicated clearly. Plus she makes it appear I know grammar and punctuation! I’m so glad my publisher asked her to edit my material.

Christy did a wonderful job in making my manuscript to flow smoothly and easier to digest. I am not a native English speaker, so Christy helped to ensure my native English readers enjoy the book.

You did an excellent edit. Again, thx for a job well done. I learned a few things from you, i.e., action beats and talking heads! Your input to the plot made for a much better book. All prospective novelists should have an opportunity to work with you. It's amazing how much I have learned from you despite my years of writing. Some habits are hard to break. Your input helped me hone my skill. Hope we have another opportunity to work together some time in the future.

Christy Callahan's edit gave my manuscript an extra polish prior to publication. Her professionalism and skills are exactly what I look for in an editor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to fine-tune their work.
