“I have had the honor of working with Penina for several years. She is meticulous, professional, timely with deadlines, and she cares not only about the manuscripts, but about my knowledge as an author. She always goes the extra mile, bringing me up to date as grammar or other editorial rules change, and ensures that even the minutest of details in my very long series are accurate. She has my highest recommendation!”
–MELISSA FOSTER, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Love in Bloom series

“After much browsing and revising of search criteria, I found five great candidates for my copy-editing job. Penina’s sample edit hit the sweet spot. Her final edit delivered on the promise of the sample and more. I explained the manuscript’s eccentricities and outlined my concerns, which she worked with and addressed, respectively. She brought additional issues to my attention with confidence and clarity. Despite the viral trials and tribulations of 2020, she delivered her work on time. She polished and deburred my writing so that the strange curves of my story can flow before future readers’ eyes. Bonus: the diligence and wisdom of her edits have revealed patterns of error that I can work to avoid in future projects. Thank you, Penina!”
—SEAN FLYNN, author of Raether’s Enzyme

Her sharp eye missed nothing! It was easy to communicate with her, and she was mindful of my tight schedule and delivered way ahead of time, without compromising on the quality of her work. Best value for money. I am extremely happy with my choice and so glad she also chose me!”

—TOBY NEAL, bestselling author, in the Huffington Post.
“And because the last thing an author wants to do is frustrate her readers with grammar mistakes and inconsistencies, many thanks to copy editor Penina Lopez, not only for keeping the hyphen queen in check but for keeping an eagle eye on my characters’ ages and the passage of time.”
