| “I would recommend
Jill Ronsley without hesitation. Her design captured the feel of our
book project perfectly.
She was always timely, even with last-minute requests. Without fail, she
delivered just what we needed and was meticulous and thorough. Above all
else, Jill was a pleasure to work with. She was always prompt and friendly,
and was always willing to go the extra mile. She is a consummate professional.” — Jill Russell, Editor, Publishing Department, American Cancer Society |

EDITING
|
||||||||
Editing ensures that errors are corrected in a document and establishes a clear and cohesive writing style. A good copy editor maintains the unique voice of the writer. When the editing is complete, the writer can proudly submit his or her work to a publisher, employer, client or reviewer. SUN Editing & Book Design offers editing services for a wide range of manuscripts: books, articles, presentations, letters, newsletters, cookbooks, manuals and stories for children. We offer standard, substantive and developmental editing services. |

“Thank
you for creating the appealing and engaging [book] design. Your sensitivity,
attention to detail, and thoughtful approach were greatly appreciated,
and the book is better for it. We are confident this book will be enjoyed
and appreciated by children of all experiences. Working with you was
a pleasure.” “I’ve had the distinct
pleasure of working with Jill as a designer for a self publisher/author.
She has designed book interiors and covers for many other publishers
and self-publishers that have used Worzalla for book printing. “I've had the pleasure
of working with Jill since opening Pleasant St. Press in 2006. Jill
possesses a unique blend of professionalism and genuine friendly accessibility;
the combination of which is a rare find. From beginning to end Jill
is a perfectionist in every aspect of her work. From line-by-line editing
to her amazing ability to maintain the author's voice throughout the
editing process, to the keen and artistic eye she lends in the design
phase, culminating in a beautiful finished product, Jill is the proverbial
complete package when it comes to editing and design. It is with absolute
confidence that I highly recommend Jill Ronsley to anyone in need of
editing and/or design work for their titles.” “I first learned of Jill Ronsley’s
editing service through the recommendation of another author. I sought
Jill’s help to edit a query letter for the first book in my middle-grade
novel series. She helped create a professional query letter that has
opened doors for me. I then sought her help in editing the first and
second books in my series. Her editing services have proven invaluable,
not just for the specific books she worked on, but also because of
how much I learned from her editing, her remarks and her words of encouragement.
The education I have gained has made me a better writer going forward.” |
