"Susan helped me with proofreading and editing a lengthy article and a product brochure booklet. Not only did she catch things I missed and cleaned everything up for me, but through her editing I gained some knowledge for myself! I saw repetition in areas that she corrected and now catch myself when I fall back on my writing habits. After Susan’s revisions a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing my final product was clean, concise and the grammar was error free. I highly recommend Susan Sanders."

"Susan evaluated my poetry book for college. Her understanding, and admiration for the complex imagery and content of my book was recognition that my voice had been heard. I read some of her poetry, to learn about her simple understanding of some of life's darkest mysteries".

"Susan Sanders was an early reader for a full-length collection of poems entitled as if I dared at circus silks. I asked specific questions and also wanted her poet’s-eye view of the manuscript. Susan’s input was astute and appreciative. It got me ready to start submitting the MSS to publishers. She had suggestions on individual poems that I followed, making each one stronger. She had ideas about the overall flow and order of the poems that gave me food for thought about how the whole book could read better. Susan was clear and kind even when answering my question, “Which 10 poems would you leave out?” Lastly, she gave me a date by which the work would be done, and to my glee the work was returned to me that day. How often does that happen?"
