I am so glad the Blue Pen team is made up of such great professionals.

"I cannot thank Blue Pen enough for the comments on cultural sensitivities. Having an editorial team that is not only looking at my work but looking out for my writing career, is invaluable. Thanks to Victoria for creating such a wonderful company and processing my edit so quickly." ​— Samuel M.

I'll be contacting Blue Pen when it's time to edit my next novel.

"I've used services before when very little was done to my manuscript, leading me to think my writing was better than it was. In the end, I wasted my money. With Blue Pen, I was able to get a clear picture where my strengths and weaknesses lie, subsequently improving my work in the future." ​— Gordon G.

Working with Blue Pen has been one of best, if not the single best, experiences I have had involved with writing so far.

"I have huge struggles with impostor syndrome. The positive comments from strangers who are professionals in the field were amazing to me. Additionally it is clear to me that every time I go through the process I will learn things that will help make me just a little bit better with my writing itself." ​— Steven K.

In my eyes they hit a home run in supporting the publishing of my baseball handbook.

"I wanted to thank Victoria and her team for their services in supporting the publishing of my first book. Trust and professionalism are important in helping an author decide which company to choose for editing and publishing services. Victoria and her team guided me through a new experience along my road to publishing." ​— Gordon G.
