Victoria and her team were recommended to me by another writer to help me move my book from a manuscript into a fully published book on Amazon. When I contacted Victoria, I felt very comfortable with her communications back to me and her knowledge of the industry. In addition to having an awesome experience with her and her team, the budget to complete the project came in right at what was quoted. If you're looking for someone to take your book from a manuscript to a completed book on Amazon, look no further than here. Just pull the trigger and start working with Victoria and her team — a fi ve-star experience!! ![]() Chip Fox Hybrid & Electric VehiclesThe team at Blue Pen did a fantastic job with the developmental edit I requested. They were courteous, kind, and professional in all of their correspondence and kept in mind my personal preferences when creating their report. This is a company I would use again and have already recommended to other authors. ![]() Lisa VanGalen Within the SilenceAs a first-time author, the sample edit that I received offered clear constructive criticism about how to improve the cohesion and readability of my story. I look forward to more comprehensive editing once my revision is complete! ![]() Philip FrancisOther Worlds Than These |
Working with Victoria Griffin has been an enjoyable and productive experience. I chose Victoria as my editor after we crossed paths on social media. Through the social media format, I was able to read many of her tips and insights into the editing and publishing world. Her honest and straight forward approach to the editing process along with her clear passion for writing won me over. ![]() Tanya WilliamsBecoming Mrs. Smith and others |

Writing for me is extremely personal. That’s a piece of my heart and soul locked in those pages. It’s scary to hand it over to someone you’ve never actually met, knowing they’re going to work with it. It requires a lot of trust, and Victoria is worth every drop. ![]() K.L.

Victoria improved my query package tremendously. Not only is my query letter a better marketing tool, but my synopsis!--I never expected a synopsis could be something which could make readers excited about the overall story, but Victoria's questions and advice turned the synopsis from something lifeless into an exciting document in its own right. Her comments on my pages were specific enough to provide direction, and broad enough to give me a new eye toward general improvements. ![]() Debbie RomaniMendocino MusicAs a new writer, I found myself drowning in a sea of information I found on the internet regarding querying, first ten pages, synopsis, and such. Blue Pen Editing tossed me a line, showed me how to swim, and pointed me toward the shore. ![]() John HearonI Wasn't Always a Hero |

This was my first manuscript and I had no idea what to expect during the editing process. My biggest concern was finding a reputable editor who would take the time and be thorough in order to ensure my manuscript was ready for publication. I chose Victoria because she genuinely seemed to take a vested interest in my story. She really took the time to listen to my story, and her emotional interest was clearly evident. ![]() Timothy H. Hilke IIII Am Not BrokenVictoria was really helpful and encouraging. She paid good attention to details and explained well why she was making certain suggestions. ![]() Laura HakalaDown the Creek at Low TideAfter many rejections, I almost set my manuscript aside to forget about it forever. As a last recourse, I found Victoria on Twitter and checked her website. After reading the outstanding testimonials, I gave it a shot and asked for a manuscript critique and a developmental edit. I am so glad I did! Victoria is very professional and well-organized. She obviously loves her job and cares about her clients’ success. Both edits were done with great care, and she pinpointed exactly what did and didn’t work. I greatly appreciated the assiduity behind her reports. ![]() Safiya M.Spellbound Heiress |
Working with Victoria was a very positive experience. I opted for a manuscript critique, and it was delivered promptly, in advance of the promised date. I’d asked a few specific questions in advance (mostly in relation to whether she felt I’d successfully addressed a few suggestions made to me in an agent’s R&R) and she ensured these were addressed within the critique. Afterwards, Victoria was happy to answer my follow-up questions. ![]() Georgiana DerwentThe Dictator's Wife |

Victoria’s tweets inspired me to find the confidence to send her my work. It didn’t take much. I had no worries going into the editing process. As it turned out, it was a very wise decision. I constantly looked forward to receiving Victoria’s advice. ![]() David ChambersFair DubsBeing my first book, I didn't know what to expect from editing. My biggest fear was being told I wasted my time putting the book together, which of course didn't happen. As an editor and writer, Victoria knows both sides of the process, which showed in the way she handled my work. Her personality also seems to be very energetic and driven. I have more confidence submitting my book to an agent knowing it has been prepared by a professional. ![]() Jeffrey BrownOur StoryHer notes and changes were on point. Her suggestions helped make the story believable. Victoria has a high attention to detail and communicates very well. Think of the readers when you select your editor. Think, who can forge a partnership with you to turn your manuscript into what it truly can become; I personally believe this can be Victoria. ![]() Rose CastroA Shining StarVictoria was a great help in editing my first children's book. I am new to the process and she helped me make the book better. I will be using her services in the future. ![]() Katherine MeltonInto the OceanI'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. I'll be contacting Blue Pen when it's time to edit my next novel. ![]() Gordon GravleyOf Gilded FleshI was at a point in my querying journey that required professional direction. I didn't know what to improve and felt stuck. Victoria immediately reassured me and gave me hope to find and fix the problems. ![]() Sharon BlevinsThe Final Deal and Beyond the CrossingVictoria and the Blue Pen team met and exceeded my expectations. Victoria's patience and promptness in the design of my book cover design was greatly appreciated. ![]() N. WestImperfect ParentsWorking 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 D. KlecknerEchoI got fast responses to emails and voice messages. Working with Blue Pen made me feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Behind the web address and YouTube channel, there are fast-paced staff behind the scenes. ![]() Miss SonyaA Gentle Greek AmericanI read background information and searched through the services provided, which led me to trust and believe in Blue Pen's full editing services.

Victoria clearly cares for her clients. Her gentle honesty highlights improvements and reveals unexplored avenues to better your craft. Highly recommended! ![]() Ethan CusimanoThe Gale Age'Whoa! Even with the intro, I didn’t see this coming,' she wrote in the mark up at one point. And that’s when I knew for sure I had the perfect editor! She had probably used up all the red ink she had salvaging my book by the time she sent back the first half of the manuscript. Those words were possibly worth as much to me as all the editing. Words of encouragement mean a lot! ![]() Isaac BrittonCenter: The Election that Changed AmericaI am highly impressed with the care my Blue Pen editor took in researching the historical background of my historical fiction to ensure she was on the same page with me. I am also impressed with each and every suggestion for improvement and the time she took to point out potential cultural sensitivities. ![]() Samuel MahaneyAn American Massacre and othersI came across Victoria through Twitter. I hadn't previously thought about having someone critique my book and decided that I needed to know how a stranger felt about the storyline. Wanting to find out, I hired her for a critique and am glad I did. ![]() Susan F. PruittFall From Grace: An Ordinary Angel Book 3VG is excellent to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone and I will be working with her again in the near future. ![]() Erik MackenzieStealing the Mona LisaI wanted to thank Victoria and her team for their services in supporting the publishing of my first book. Victoria was very responsive to my questions and helpful in explaining the process of a successful line edit. Trust and professionalism are important in helping an author decide which company to choose for editing and publishing services. ![]() John J. CurradoThe Joy of Playing and Coaching Youth BaseballVictoria Griffin was thorough when she did my manuscript critique. It came when it was promised and told me what I needed to change to make my novel better. The suggestions were straightforward and easy to understand. The critique made me feel like I had written something worth turning into a novel. ![]() Peter John SchulenburgThe Legend of the EmenidyTo any author who is considering getting their query read and revised but isn't quite sure, please do it. The feedback I received on both my query letter and sample pages was extremely helpful and pointed out things I had hardly considered. My query letter is completely unrecognizable in the best way possible. Victoria was also very easy to reach out to and approachable. I had no worries about emailing or communicating with her at all. ![]() Grace PapasMonsters UnderneathHappy I found Blue Pen for my proofreading! As a new writer (still on my way to publication), I have had to navigate my way through many new services and processes. My primary method of making choices has been based on trust. And Victoria and her Blue Pen team have been phenomenally authentic and patient with answering my questions, relieving my anxieties, and keeping me encouraged throughout the process so far. When my book is finally published, it will be in large part due to Blue Pen's services. ![]() Robert J. Myers, DBA, MSWHealth Insecurity Defeats Too Many Americans |
