Your Voice— nurtured
"As a neurodivergent individual with a distinct audience, I appreciated Barbie's genuine care and eye for detail when it came to not only my story, but language choice and overall formatting. Her feedback is invaluable and provided me with a perspective that made the book better than anything it could have ever been!
Furthermore, Barbie has excellent communication and fully respected and embraced my voice, which is a critical aspect of any author-editor relationship. I highly recommend hiring Barbie for all your editing needs and will definitely be working with her on many future projects!
Your voice— elevated
“I had the opportunity to work with Barbie Halaby when I enlisted her services as a line editor for my memoir, The Spirits Called My Name. Her fee was reasonable, and she stayed within the timeframe that we agreed upon to review my manuscript. Whenever I needed to contact her, she swiftly replied to my questions and requests. The quality of her work was outstanding, and I was more than satisfied with her suggestions and revisions. I would recommend Barbie to anyone who is interested in retaining a highly competent editor.”
Your Voice— strengthened
"I highly recommend working with Barbie. Her edits and comments sharpened the emotions on the page, strengthened my voice, and made my book immeasurably better."
Your voice— respected
“I was under huge time pressure to whip my manuscript into the final shape for submission to the publisher. Barbie had prior commitments and yet she worked extra hard and extra long to accommodate my special request. She came through big time. The quality of her line edit didn’t suffer one bit; it was excellent.
How good was her work? The publisher required next to no effort in editing the manuscript. I was told it was in superb shape.
I heartily recommend Ms. Halaby for line edit of any document!"
