Bonnie Took My Book from Mediocre to Marvelous
"I sent my book to Bonnie McDermid when it was in formatting, ready to be published. I wanted one more set of eyes on my book before I sent it out to the world. Bonnie read it and told me it wasn’t ready. I cringed and considered her advice.

Then I trusted Bonnie to take my book to another level of excellence. Together, we went through my book several times and tightened up the structure and developed the overall design of the book. Bonnie preserved my voice, enhanced what I had already written, and helped me let go of unnecessary words. She treated my book as if it was as important to her as it is to me. And authors know what a powerful statement that is. Thanks to Bonnie, my book is stronger and hopefully, a jewel in the hands of my readers."

Fulfilling Experience for First-Time Authors
"As first-time authors with little experience, Bonnie McDermid created a clear and easy path for us to follow and guided us through it effortlessly.

Because our book is a memoir, it was extremely important to us to have an editor who could connect to our story emotionally, yet be able to detach and view it from the reader’s perspective. It was an amazing, fulfilling experience and we came away from this journey with a wonderful friend in Bonnie, for which we are truly grateful and blessed."
