"I spent a good deal of time choosing an editor for my manuscript. After narrowing the field to five or six, all of whom came with solid credentials, I requested sample edits from each of them. The best sample edit by far came from Harvey Stanbrough. Harvey managed to clean up my prose without compromising my style, a rare quality among editors. Together we produced a manuscript that exceeded my expectations." ~ David Turkstra ~ Novelist, The Search for Gojesmo ~ david@701.com

Harvey Stanbrough was perfect for the job." ~ John Mickey ~ Novelist, Poisoned Medicine ~ jmickey@hawaii.rr.com
