"Publisher’s
Weekly awarded my book a
rare Red Star (which denotes recommended purchases for all libraries), and in
the review they noted my 'dash of tongue-in-cheek cheer.' Do you have any idea
how hard it was to find an editor who could honor my 'tongue-in-cheek cheer'?
The most important thing in choosing an editor is to make sure they are on the
same page with you (pun intended) – otherwise you lose your voice. Adriane not
only 'got me,' she really helped bring out the personality of the book.
Most editors can organize content and check for errors, but it wasn’t easy to find one who could also season, condense and clarify my words so they came across with pop and flair. Adriane does all of that, and she’s easy to work with too. I highly recommend her – two pens way up!"

"I
am constantly receiving compliments about how well written my work is. I simply
smile and say thank you – but I don’t let on that my secret ingredient is…
Adriane!
That’s the beauty of a good editor – it sounds like you, only better!
Adriane is focused, grounded,
compassionate and ethical. You can trust her with your words and ideas. She
can make them flow so they end up reading the way you meant them to in the
first place!
You would be wise to hire this woman."

"Adriane Smith is a
colleague I have recommended to quite a few people – but I always tell them,
she’s not ‘just’ an editor. Within the publishing world, she possesses a unique
set of skills.
She can look at a project from several angles at once – content, branding, positioning, marketing strategies, audience perspectives, current trends and more – and find the words that really work.
Beyond her talent to
shape sentences and craft paragraphs, I am constantly impressed with her 'holistic'
Having consulted her on
many projects and shared a number of clients, I know that Adriane is easy to
work with — and I always have the deep, sincere feeling that the client's work is in good hands."

Now I know why
you do what you do! WOW!
I
LOVE IT! How'd you do that? You definitely have the touch! Every little detail – you
thought it all out. You're BRILLIANT. Fabulous work, Adriane!! A BIG thank you!
We're most grateful. I really love your style. You're so easy to understand and work with! You're the BEST!"
~ Candace Pittenger
"For nearly a decade, Adriane has been my go-to person for strong, clear writing. She’s written my newsletters, flyers,
critical correspondence and more, and every single time, she just nails it! She really captures the essence of her clients.
Before she does anything, she really listens to me and what I need, repeating what she’s hearing and asking for clarification. Adriane is very in tune with what people are really trying to get across – and she’s not afraid to be honest when something isn’t working.
She’s gentle, but direct, and her natural
eloquence makes her one of the best writers I’ve ever seen.”
In our work together, I found Adriane to be bright, intellectual, creative on many levels, perceptive, and able to think outside of the box. And above all, she is honest and sincere.
She is an excellent writer and a disciplined editor, truly a wordsmith with unique abilities. I really enjoy working with her and I highly recommend her."
