To finally become a published author, sometimes, it only takes one person who believes in your talent to help guide your big dream into amazing reality. For me, that one person was my friend and editor, Heather Murata. She encouraged me while I wrote and then skillfully line-edited, copyedited, and proofread my baby, my novel.

Like my own personal cheerleader, Heather hoorayed my successes. When needed, she pointed out grammar mistakes, correcting them clearly, yet with a friendly touch. If my setting lacked the five senses, Heather was the voice whispering in my ear—what did it smell like? When passive voice crept in—threatening to derail my sentences—she red-flagged the wordage.

Her carefully-considered suggestions made my writing strong—the result: smooth-flowing chapter after chapter, all the way to THE END. Upon completion, I gained confidence in a well-written book. I owe that confidence to Heather.

I’m so pleased I chose Heather to proofread and copyedit my novel. Her knowledge and expertise go far beyond the written word. I highly recommend Heather Murata’s services to anyone looking to polish up their words and allow them to shine.
