“I have used the editing services of Tracy Blaine now for four different projects so far. Tracy is the third editor I have used, and the only one of those three that I have used more than once.

Choosing an editor can be quite overwhelming at first, you are entrusting them with your work; when that work is a novel, it is almost like trusting them with your baby. It is hard to let go and trust that someone will take good care of it. Tracy understands that feeling, and does everything she can to make us, the writer, feel comfortable.
My biggest concern with the editing process has always been that my story would get lost in all the technical details, that the book wouldn’t sound like me in the end. But Tracy has a brilliant way of editing; she is able to maintain my voice through the entire story. When things need changing and reworking to be structurally correct, she is able to do so in my voice.

Tracy is fantastic to work with, she listens to all my thoughts and ideas, and ask questions when needed, ensuring that I feel involved and informed throughout the whole process.

I appreciate all the hard work Tracy has put into my projects and how versatile her abilities are. I look forward to working with Tracy on all my many projects to come.”

“Tracy Blaine has did work, specifically a copy edit, on my debut autobiography book, Hanging On To My Dreams, which is now available on Amazon.com, and on the shelves of bookstores in my hometown of Saint Lucia.

Mrs. Blaine was strongly recommended to me by my author friend, but judging her work as an editor on my own, I would recommend Mrs. Blaine to anyone who wants their money’s worth in a timely fashion. I expected perfection and her professionalism and skills complied with my wishes. She did an impressive job with my project, and at the end I did not have any complaints.

I will definitely be working with Tracy Blaine on any future projects.”

Holding on to my Dreams  – Autobiography approximately 375 pages in length. Published July 2011
