Reviews & Testimonials
What People Experience Working with Your Extraordinary Book
She helped me navigate the uncharted waters of book writing and publishing and showed me how it can be fun and achievable! I’d highly recommend Dawn to any inspiring or seasoned writer.
She took my sometimes awkwardly-phrased manuscript and turned it into a novel I'm proud to have published.
When I finished my second novel, I went back to Dawn for editing. Again, I'm so impressed with her work. She's magic!
Alayne's first book Ellen and the Three Predictions was a semi-finalist in the 2016 William Faulkner, William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. Her second book, Educating Sadie, was a finalist for the 2018 competition and her third book, This Is Ellen Jones Reporting, was a finalist for the 2020 competition.
She covered all the critical points from start to finish in writing to publishing. I am very grateful to you Dawn for all your wisdom in creating my extraordinary book.
I strongly recommend Dawn Richerson for editing, design, publishing and website creation services for authors.
Dawn helped guide the development of my book from its inception through publication. She provided unwavering support as the book took shape and form, championed my progress and helped keep things on track.
So incredibly grateful for you, and I’m so excited for my book. Honored and blessed to get to share this journey with you.
