Susan is a brilliant editor and writer. I would recommend her as both a professional and a writer.
if you want the truth and want someone that is honest and cares about your writing, Susan Malone is the one. she's your lifetime coach, rooting you on. I would recommend her to anyone that is serious, serious about having a writing career...
Susan made all the diference in my getting 'Journeys: a grand adventure out' finished. She is a wonderful editor and coach. thanks, Susan
Susan is so knowledgeable and helpful. She really knows what she'd doing.
Susan is the editor of my new tween novel, KenKarta: Battle of the Onoxmon, and she is wonderful to work with. She makes your work better without trying to make it her own. She guides but never belittles, encourages but doesn't sugar coat. Susan is a master of the developmental editor craft and I look forward to working with her again.
Susan is a great friend, very honest with you no matter if you are writing a book or working with a Labrador. She is very dedicated to everything and everyone she works with.
Susan is a very trusted and knowledgeable person. Her editorial skills are beyond excellent and she is in constant demand for those skills. She places honesty, integrity, and professionalism above all else. From past experience, I highly recommend Susan for what ever your needs may be.
Susan is a great editor. She gave me amazing insight and help while I tried completing my first book. Susan gets it.
Susan has edited several of my books and I could not have been a successful author without her expert help. She encouraged me to continue writing, even when I felt like giving up. A stickler for perfection, Susan is so kind and helpful and I wouldn't use anyone else to edit my work. She uses a fascinating way of showing you how wrong something was written without making you mental. Absolutely great editor and lovely person. (I highly recommend her especially for new authors.)
Susan is an amazing editor and, without doubt, one of the most patient individuals I have encountered. As a novice writer, my missteps are frequent and many, but she has kept me on track and focused on the end game. She's a straight shooter with a realist's view of the literary business. With her guidance, you'll have no surprises as you work through the labyrinth of the agent/publicist process.
I've worked with Susan and she's the absolute easiest and fun person to work with. She's thorough, detailed and has such belief in her clients.....she rocks!
Susan is a loyal friend and client and dedicated to her profession andh her work ethic is beyond reproach.
Being a new guy to this world has been somewhat daunting but Susan has away of easing ones mind and encouraging one that it can be done. You are never alone when you team up with her for me and I am sure for others she is just an email away.
Susan has edited several of my manuscripts in the past. She always returned my work promptly and always gave me great advice. A wonderful, personable editor. I would highly recommend her without hesitation!
go girl go. Love yu, gb.
A true professional with an excellent work ethic! Willing to assist without taking over!
The consummate professional editor--a writer's writer and editor with deep literary roots and an amazing range of versatility among genres. Has anyone said it--to borrow from a cliche--the book whisperer!
Lovely and the best of good luck!
Susan is a phenomenal developmental editor. She has taken numerous writers from obscruity to bestelling. Her style and patience is impeccable. Go, Susan!
I have known Susan for 40 years and any endeavor she is involved in will be done with the greatest integrity and professionalism.
Susan is simply the best!
Susan was instrumental in helping me to understand how to write fiction. I've had a number of reader reviews that mention the visual nature of my book in that they feel that they are in the places and know the characters that I describe. That's all due to Susan. Thank you, lady!
I understand that Susan is awesome with her writings - She is also a great friend and dog breeder.
Pleasant and joyful person to be around. Always has a positive compliment to give you.
I'm looking forward to Susan's insights and editorial direction when I complete the first draft of book 3 in my Ernie Bisquets Mystery Series.
Susan has helped me become a better writer. Her editorial work shaped the way I write, and edit my own work. I am really a big fan. I would recommend Susan for any writer who wishes to become successful.
Susan Mary Malone is a delight to work with. Smooth, accomplished and professional, she takes even the most insecure writer and helps build thier confidence along with their skills. I met Susan when I was working at the Harriette Austin Writers Conference and was able to observe her infinite patience as well as her ability to provide concise, clearly understood feedback to new writers. She also edited my own book, Under the Liberty Oak, and truly helped me grow as a writer. Can't wait to work with her at the Conference this year.
Susan is outstanding! Her guidance has made a tremendous difference in my writing. She is kind, patient, and very supportive.
I've heard nothing but GREAT things--both professionally and perosnally--about Susan from fellow authors... unfortunately, I've not had the opportunity to utilize her services to date. But, I'm hoping to change that in the very near future :-)
Susan has a wonderful reputation and, although I have not utilized her editorial services yet, I may soon be giving her a try!
A wonderful editor, skilled both at the technical details of writing for publications and at encouraging authors, with supportive critism and honest, intelligent suggestions for improvement!
Susan, you are a great editor. The very best to you, and your brother Gary!
I had the pleasure to work with Ms. Malone and what a great and professional experience it was. I am looking forward to working with her again in the near future. Susan thank you so very much for your advice and guidance. Yolanda
Susan was a great teacher, editor and friend. What I learned from Susan would take years elsewhere. She is the rock I fall back on to refresh my mind.
Susan is a consummate professional!
Susan's reviews have made me a better writer than I am a person.
You are wished the best in all your endeavors now and in the future. Good luck always.
Susan, Your analysis/critique of my ms., THE DELPHI BLOODLINE, was enormously helpful and steered me in the right direction with this story. Best wishes!--Donna Del Oro, award winning author.
I have to admit I haven't worked with Susan but for many years she worked with and was friends with a mutual friend and I know he really enjoyed working with Susan. Susan is a pleasure to be around and is always kind and patient.
Susan is world class as a person and as a professional! She guides you to a new level of understanding in your craft as a writer. I shall be one of the many repeat clients of her's once our current project is completed!
Susan is an excellent editor who works patiently with her writers. I learned so much from her. Highly recommended to any writers who need editorial services. She's the best!
I am always looking to help my friends.
Susan helped me create my first manuscript to a published novel. I learned a great deal from her as an editor and appreciate all of hard work. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the publishing business.
