Testimonials
Positive and encouraging
I felt supported by Tracy from the outset. Her feedback was positive, encouraging and with change kindly suggested, which bolstered my confidence in my own writing project. She stayed with me through the whole process of self-publishing, at times offering more than was expected.

an unerring eye for detail
Tracy Buenk is a gem. She did a fantastic edit of my manuscript, combining an unerring eye for detail
with a sympathetic and open-minded comprehension of the “big picture” message in the story. Her
ability to pinpoint an issue and then solve the problem is invaluable.

Professional and easy to work with
It still seems unreal to me that I’ve taken that long-anticipated leap into the unknown, the step to having my book published – and even more unreal to think of myself as even having an editor.
You were professional and easy to work with, and you played such a huge part
in getting me to the finishing line. I can’t thank you enough.

really enjoyed working with her
Emma Hill says “The first draft is black and white. Editing gives the story colour.” Tracy Buenk helped with dashing colour and clarity into my prose and yet kept the narrative mine, amplifying the story true to my creation.
Really enjoyed working with her and recommend her services.

thoughtful suggestions
It was crucial for me to find an editor who would handle my manuscript with the same care and dedication I had invested in it over the years. Receiving Tracy’s initial edits and thoughtful suggestions, I knew then that not only would she help refine my book, but she would honour my voice. It was a pleasure working with her!

and whose insights made the book publishable.
