Angela Eschler and her firm were strongly recommended to me. . . . I was determined to produce the best book possible . . . while maintaining my voice. . . . . The results of their editing far exceeded my expectations and . . . I have secured my agent and publisher. My passion and my goal [was to] impact people’s lives. What is most gratifying is that . . . it is happening.

In 2015 I entered an intense competition to win the Kindle Scout publishing contract (the foremost ebook publisher in the world with access to massive Amazon promotion). I had a good story overall . . . but wanted to create a best seller, so I worked with Eschler Editing through the intense process of fine-tuning. The help they provided was priceless—and I won the publishing contract! [It] was worth every investment. Thanks Eschler Editing!

I asked Eschler Editing for help with plot and structure on my novel Numbers Game—and also issued a challenge: I needed 20K words cut from my manuscript. . . . Numbers Game soared on Amazon—hitting #1 in two categories (passing up Divergent and Hunger Games a couple times) and is now an international bestseller; so I’m pretty happy! Plus . . . I can honestly say that Eschler Editing has the best copy editors I’ve found. In short, I definitely recommend them!
