Work with Beacon Point

5 Stars! A great book is two hands clapping. One is the writer; the other the editor. I have worked with a lot of top editors over the years and while they all have talent the majority live in a world of their own timing – they are not reliable. So while there may well be two hands clapping they don’t clap at the same time which leads the writer into realms of frustration. Waiting, wondering and worrying.
Not so with Katie Chambers. She is an excellent substantive editor and is prompt and reliable. A pleasure and a relief to work with.
That being said the bottom line with any review is would you work with this person again? And the answer is a definite yes. And I will recommend her to my fellow authors and speakers. Thanks Katie.

Working with Katie on ‘What’s Going on With My Family?’ was an honor! Her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to the project truly set the bar high. Not only did she ensure that the narrative flowed seamlessly, but her keen insights and thoughtful suggestions elevated the content to new heights. Her expertise in non-fiction editing is unmatched, and Katie’s ability to navigate complex concepts related to trauma and families within the text was truly remarkable. Thanks to her guidance and expertise, the book resonates with readers on a profound level, sparking meaningful conversations and offering invaluable insights. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone seeking excellence in their non-fiction editing needs. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!”

I enjoyed my experience working with Katie. As a first time author, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the editing process. I heard horror stories about editors completely changing your words, and writers losing confidence and giving up. I never experienced any of these working with Katie. In reality, she motivated me to think deeper and create a product that my readers will find valuable. I’m passionate about helping social service professionals and the notes Katie provided pushed me to create a product that will make a difference. If you’re looking for an editor that will challenge you to become a better writer while giving your manuscript the transformation it needs, I HIGHLY recommend you work with Katie.

I was extremely impressed with Beacon’s work on my manuscript. I thought I was pretty good with grammar, but they really cleaned things up. Aside from that, it was clear they took the time to familiarize themselves with the flow and content of my work. This was evidenced in their comments and suggestions regarding said content. I would confidently consider them for any future projects.

I was so fortunate to have Katie Chambers edit my memoir. She helped polish my story from editing the conventions of writing to addressing the content, style, and structure. I was impressed by how Katie gave brilliant suggested options to improve and strengthen the manuscript. She is very professional and gets the job done. As an editor, Katie is a true gatekeeper between the author and the reader.

I was originally referred to Katie by my SPS personal coach. and could not have been happier with the decision to go with her. She is very affordable, professional, and qualified. Some of her changes were beyond my expectations and improved the overall quality of my manuscript without compromising its integrity. I highly recommend her!

Katie is a highly organized professional who provided insight and suggestions to improve my writing. She guided me through the editing process and thoughtfully considered not only grammar and organization but also the flow and intent of the book itself. She took my project as seriously as I did and paid attention to every detail. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and won’t hesitate to recommend her.

Katie did a great job helping me turn my fiction dystopian novel from a rough draft into a compelling read. Not only did she point out where the manuscript could be improved, she provided me with invaluable resources that helped improve my skills. With her help, I made great strides in showing rather than telling, building tension, avoiding head-hoping, improving dialogue and internal thoughts, and removing all of the plot holes and inconsistencies. Her approach is thorough. The manuscript was throughly reviewed and edited and she also provided a lengthly editorial letter describing some of the big-picture items I needed to consider and change. Ultimately, I accepted all of her suggestions.

I can’t believe how much better my manuscript is after working with Katie. She is a great asset and worth every penny. I highly recommend her services.

Katie easily absorbed My book’s main ides and then added ideas that I didn’t think about. That says a lot about how she works.

She didn’t just give me grammar and spelling advice. She did much more by suggesting paragraph movements and sentence structure as well as suggesting erudite ideas to enhance and add clarity to the book.

This was more of a consulting relationship than pure editing.

I will use her again!

Katie did a brilliant job of taking a rookie writer through the editing process. I’ll be collaborating with her on any books, etc that I write. She is a valuable partner in the process.
