Eileen Rife did a wonderful job in the edit of my first book. I considered it an honor for her to look through my material. Eileen gave me a new perspective and helped me to see some things that I have written in a different light. She also gave more life to some areas that needed expounding and cultivating. Her constructive critique gave me some insight where I needed (being a man trying to keep the attention of the female reader). Her vast knowledge of editing I felt was invaluable for this new writer. Her experience in the creation of her own books actually helped inspire me in some of the subject content of mine. Her books also encouraged me when I was in the deep, dark valley of despair. Also her love for our Lord and her concern for her fellowman make her even more able to help in the Christian literary field. And she can help you help others strengthen their walk with Christ. If you need someone to help with your book creation, I highly recommend Mrs. Rife for the task.

I am committed to editing excellence. I want my clients to be satisfied with the results. Therefore, I offer a FREE two-page edit to help a client and me determine if we are a good fit. The sample edit also helps a client actually see how the editing process works.
You can contact me for more information or to discuss your project by clicking onto the "EMAIL EILEEN" option at the top of this page.
Payment is divided into two parts: one/half is required before the work begins. After consultation, a FREE sample edit, and agreement to begin the edit, I will send you a PayPal invoice for the first half of payment. Upon completion of the edit, I will send an invoice for the remaining balance. After I receive full payment, I will email your completed edit to you.
