To make life more stable;

"In the past ten years of publishing people's books, I've worked with many editors. It wasn't until I found Lynette Smith of All My Best that I found consistency, accuracy, excellent editing skills, and great suggestions with the manuscripts. Lynette is truly professional and a joy to work with. Her work makes my publishing company and authors look good. One of them even wrote, 'Lynette, I love you and I don't even know you. I feel so safe with you on this project.' Indeed, Lynette Smith is the best!"

Book Authors

"Many thanks to Lynette Smith, who helped transform a rough first draft of misspellings and strange typos into far more readable form."

"Your editing technique is influential... in a good way. The errors you find or changes you recommend are spot on. But, unbeknownst to you, your editing style sometimes makes me pause and reread what I wrote, and then try to write it better. I think your editing inspires me to want to be a better writer. I also appreciate your helpful tips, where you suggest I 'may' want to replace certain words or phrases. I like that it sharpens points I'm trying to make. And I truly appreciate you and your expert editing skills for that."

"I'm so grateful for the awesome, meticulous proofreading job Lynette did on my book layout. She caught many important typos, etc., and even a plot error, that were missed by two previous editors and a pre-design proofreader. Lynette is surely worth her weight in gold!"

—Dr. Ruth (Ruthy) Ballard, Author and Artist,

"I hire Lynette for that wealth of knowledge she exudes. If I kept a 'brilliant' list, she'd be first."

—Robyn Wheeler, Born Mad, LLC; Author, Born Mad and 104 Ways to
Starve Your Anger and Feed Your Soul (Mabank, TX)

 

"I initially met Lynette at a Publisher/Writers meeting in Orange, California. I was impressed with her knowledge of the writing and publishing industry and more importantly her easy going personality. It made it easy to seek her out to copyedit a fictional manuscript for young adults, Chile Town, written by my sister and me. This was our first fictional story together, and we wanted the project to be successful. Even though the book has many words and sentences in Spanish and caló (slang), Lynette's attention to detail and consistent communication (before, during, and after) made the process seamless. Additionally, she even recommended a follow-up contact to pursue once the manuscript is published. We will use Lynette again on Chili Town 2. We highly recommend her, without hesitation, to other aspiring writers."

—Richard and Cynthia Alvarado, Authors, Chile Town (Upland, CA)

"I have been using editors for over 20 years. Lynette may be the best. She catches everything and just wants it to be perfect for the writer."

—Dr. Ty Colbert, Publisher and Author,

"All My Best was originally highly recommended to me by a colleague whom I respect very much. Engaging Lynette for her copyediting of my book, Brokers Who Dominate, was one of the best decisions I made. Her professionalism, punctuality, and consistent communication made this process seamless. Additionally, her insights and suggestions on a variety of publishing issues were greatly appreciated and applicable. I will use Lynette again and, like my colleague, recommend her without hesitation."

—Rod Santomassimo, CCIM, Founder and President,
