Maine Woods Editing

MWE was fast, friendly, and clear with any questions about my work. Betsy was thorough and caught things even previous readers and other editors had missed. Recommended!

Maine Woods Editing did an excellent job; I learned a thing or two. Betsy’s attention to detail, proactive feedback, and turnaround time were outstanding. The fact that my publisher prefers MWE says it all. MWE is the very best editorial service that I've worked with during my 40 years as a published author.

Maine Woods Editing was amazing to work with. Betsy was so easy to talk to and really made the whole process so easy. She had a quick turnaround time and an absolutely beautiful style sheet with all the important information lined up for you. She taught me so much about my writing and was excited to help me grow as an author. She was very personable and an absolute joy to work with!

I was concerned about finding the right editor for my book. As an experienced editor myself, as well as a published author who has been through the editing process before, I'm picky and want someone who gets what I'm doing, as well as knows the craft of editing. I met Betsy at an author event and just talking to her for 10 minutes, I knew that she would be great. She knows her stuff, is extremely professional, takes what she does seriously, and cares about the manuscript. All communication was clear and straightforward, from the initial discussion, through payment, to the edits and notes. I was thrilled to find Betsy and thrilled at the work she did on my book. It definitely made it better. I highly recommend her, no matter what your level of writing.

I have loved working with Betsy Judkins of Maine Woods Editing. She makes the editing process painless, educational, and positive. Her great sense of humor put me at ease right away, but what I have deeply appreciated is that she is dependable, smart, and a clear communicator, and she takes her job seriously. She has an expert eye for detail, and she is extremely easy to work with. My only regret in our working relationship is that I did not find her sooner! Betsy is a tremendous asset, and I recommend her highly.

Betsy is a fantastic cheerleader and an amazing editor. Her passion for editing shows in her detailed feedback, and her love of the romance genre is evident in the fun comments she sprinkles throughout the manuscript, highlighting her favorite parts. Her kind, encouraging words and professionalism create an enjoyable and successful author-editor relationship. I plan to work with her again on all my future projects.

Working with Maine Woods Editing was the best decision I made for my book. As a novice author, I probably required more work than some, but Betsy was undaunted. She provided me with thorough edits, guidance, and incredible patience. Her edits were timely, and she communicated throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend her services enough.

Working with Betsy was wonderful. She was quick and incredibly thorough, going above and beyond to polish my manuscript to perfection. She also included feedback and suggestions for potential improvement on more big picture items, along with the copy edits. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a top-notch editor, and I would absolutely use her again for future projects.

Betsy is a hero wielding Track Changes! She is thoughtful, diligent, and very responsive. Having her edit my debut spicy rom-com (Eye Candy) was a smooth process and valuable experience. I'm definitely a member of the Maine Woods Editing fan club.

Elizabeth Judkins, of Maine Woods Editing LLC, is a thorough copy editor and proofreader. She asks good questions and makes helpful edits and comments in preparing a manuscript for publication. She helped us prepare an anthology of over 50 essays for layout and design. She’s also fun to work with! I plan to use her services again.
