"She was always responsive and completed her edits on schedule. She was consultative and shared helpful recommendations, suggestions, and alternatives that enhanced my story. She asked questions to prompt additional details when they would support the development of the characters or paint a clearer picture for the reader. It was a pleasure working with her!"
"Claire Gault edited my Amazon #1 Bestseller, Angel in the Cockpit. Her talent, not only with editing, but syntax, chapter organization, and punctuation were skills that undoubtedly led to my book's overwhelming success. I am on my next book and only with Claire will I seek a final edit."
"Thanks to Claire for all of her creative input into our cookbook Cooking Local With Chef Eddie G. She helped make the cookbook achieve a spot on the Amazon Top Seller List because of her hard work, commitment to deadlines, and dedication. While creating the flow of recipes and stories, I believe we developed a friendship. Thanks again, Claire!"
"First of all we'd like to thank you both - but mainly, to be fair, Claire - for such scrupulous and careful close reading of our text, as well as an encyclopaedic knowledge of not only modern punctuation conventions, but also of the properties of various ancient Sumerian minerals and gems. We are impressed!"
"She quickly mastered the art of evaluating submissions for style, emotion, effectiveness of the delivered narrative, and chance of success . . . shows a great skill for analytical reading and a willingness to throw herself into her assignments."
- Michelle Dotter, Editor-in-Chief of Dzanc Books
