Will my writing still sound like me after editing?

7/6/2016

 
Writers are often understandably concerned that an editor will make changes that will alter the tone of the writing. Editors understand that a writer's "voice" is very important, and it's an aspect that I'm always careful to respect, as grateful clients -- both fiction and nonfiction -- have noted.
 ​I hired Jane to edit a nonfiction book on legal aspects of voice acting. I expected help with grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but she delivered far more. While respecting the author’s prose, Jane made helpful suggestions that improved the flow the ideas. She also asked logical questions from a layman’s point of view that led to elaborations of the text that enhanced comprehension. Finally, Jane delivered her work in advance of the deadline I’d requested. 
​Please do not hesitate to hire Jane Mackay to edit your project. She will do a wonderful job for you!

From the realm of fiction, award-winning author M. Amanuensis Sharkchild, with whom I've worked on three collections of short stories and his debut novel, says:
 I can always rely on receiving the most articulate attention and inspection without worrying about my words losing their heart; Jane knows how I like to write and she always keeps that intact with her editing.
