Bernard Jan, @BernardJanWorld, author of several books had this to say on January 19, 2020, about my work on "January River": Giving my novel January River into the hands of Word Refiner was a smart thing to do. Now, the fans of literary fiction, coming-of-age, mystery, and romance stories can enjoy reading it without being distracted with laughing at my silly errors! Yeah, it’s true, even after several edits and two pairs of eyes (shame on me!), these mortal enemies of every author who holds dear his books and reputation stayed hidden in ambush until Word Refiner took his refining solution and exterminated them. What a feeling! For that, I am grateful. Very much so. Now I can sleep in peace, knowing that the January River will provide a clean and undisturbed flow through all of the pages, watering your hearts and eyes. Isn’t that nice?
Alexa Spagnola, @SinCityMadame, provided me with this testimony, on January 22, 2020:
Mark, @wordrefiner, did a phenomenal job proofreading and refining my novel, "Mafia Madame." He was not only professional and prompt, but he was a real joy to work with. If you need proofreading, you just can't do better than Mark.

Joyce Serrano, @JSerranoWrites, emailed me on January 10, 2020, she is the author of a number of books, including "Original Grace" and "Immortals in the Everything". I helped her with these books and others:
I am exceptionally pleased with Word Refiner's services. I have had three of my books proofread and Mark was able to find things my editors missed in all three texts. Each of my issues were either spelling or homophone issues that were small enough to get past editing software, editors and beta readers. I can't say enough about the quality and readability he brought to my books. I will never publish anything again without his services.

Ellie Douglas, @AuthorEllie, direct messaged me on Twitter on December 22, 2019, after I proofread her latest horror/thriller, "Leech":
"I very much look forward to working with you again. You were honestly, incredible. I keep laughing at myself for having used the word (Literally) as often as I had done. That still makes me laugh, as I reflect back on what you did find. Without you having polished my novel as well as you had, I wouldn't be getting the comments on it that I am getting, and they are all grand! Thanks to you :) which is something I'm so grateful for, you are damn good at what you do :) The best :)"

Gordon Bickerstaff, wrote me on December 9, 2019, after I proofread "Toxic Minds" as a reissue of his popular thriller:
"Mark was recommended to me by another author. His work is thorough and I've learned from him, which will help me make fewer errors in the future. If anyone asks me to recommend a proofreader, I'll recommend Mark."

John A Guynn wrote this on December 1, 2019, after I finished proofreading his book, "Branded Book One: Skald": "Mark did an amazing job with Skald, the first book in my high fantasy trilogy. Even after numerous self-edits, a complete beta-read, and a copy editor had gone over the manuscript, the word refiner’s eagle eyes spotted little things needing correction and suggested tweaks to improve the story. All of my interaction with Mark was professional, including much-appreciated progress updates even though I had told him I was not on a deadline.
His comments and emails clearly showed he was invested in my story. It wasn’t just another job for him. I recommend Mark’s word refinement/proofreading service to everyone I can. Excellent service with outstanding value, what more could you want?"

Dr. Lori Shemek, Phd. CNC, wrote to me on November 30, 2019, after I finished proofreading her latest book "Beginner's Guide to Intermittent Fasting" covering the topic of intermittent fasting:
“My experience with Mark has been beyond expectation for my book. Mark not only edits professionally, but offers pertinent suggestions that are aligned completely, as if he wrote the book himself. He has an in-depth knowledge of how information needs to flow in order for the written word, whether an article, essay or book to showcase not just your writing, but you as the expert.”

Marc W Johnson, @Woordman had me refine a recent screenplay, "Legacy", this is what he said in an email on October 25, 2019:
"I asked Mark to refine my screenplay on sentence structure, grammar and the like. I have to say, Mark is a master at refining. Just when you think you got everything locked down along comes a word Jedi, using the force of years of experience and know-how, he wields his talent to make your work shine without errors. Mark even suggests words to make some sentences pop, and you think ‘how did I not see that?’ He lets you know what is working, too. He comments when he really likes something you wrote, whether it is a line, a word, or dialogue. Yes, Mark is Jedi Master Word Refiner, and I highly recommend this force for good grammar, punctuation and the like."

Paulett Golden, author of multiple books, including the latest, The Baron and The Enchantress, wrote me her thanks for my work on that book, July 21, 2019:
"Mark is an impressively skilled word refiner. I can't express enough what a joy it was to work with him on my manuscript. Refining historical writing can be a challenge since there are any number of period-specific words and phrases, not to mention the risk of anachronistic terms. Mark tackled the challenge with finesse. His professional and positive tone was much appreciated on top of his expertise. I will, without doubt, be working with Mark on all my manuscripts. I am fortunate to have found him! And lest we not forget, his assistant Grizz is a gem."

Duane Simolke, Texas author of multiple books, gives this advice, June 18, 2019:
"Mark’s Wordrefiner report for my eBook Now That We’re Grown gives detailed guidance about grammar and punctuation. Mark also points out anything that might confuse readers and even includes suggestions for better phrasing. It’s not only worth the money but also will prevent regret, because someone else would have noticed those problems after the eBook was published. Edit your own work carefully, but then also hire a reliable editor like Mark." I proofread that book for him.

"I picked you to help market 'Ric-A-Dam-Doo' after spotting your promotion for another author's book review using the mighty 'Grizz' to drum up interest. I thought it was cute and ingenious. I wanted to be a part of the fun. Two books later, I'm still impressed and enjoying the help from you and Grizz."

Thanks, this was a big help."

"Mark is a gem of a find! If there's someone out there who can do a better job at a comparable price, I haven't found them.
After countless self-edits, a run through Grammarly and an extensive beta read by a fellow author, Mark still found numerous errors in my manuscript. Many of them were silly little things and punctuation mistakes, but he also found some howlers that would have damaged my credibility. Indie authors work on tight budgets, but Mark is worth every penny/cent.
"His approach is professional and efficient, but at the same time, he is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
I'm happy to recommend him and will use him for my future books."

"March Schultz delivered! I’m so glad I used Wordrefiner for the line-editing of my latest thriller. It’s amazing: no matter how many hands (or pairs of eyes) a work has been through, there are always mistakes that detract from the work--which makes a good line editor crucial. Mark found things others had not, and even suggested stylistic points.
"Writers strive to make their work vivid, compelling and authoritative. If the prose is marred with typos, spelling and grammatical errors, readers are put off. Mark’s work was thorough, exhaustive and professional. Having made the edits, I now have greater confidence as I send the MS out to agents and publishers.
"I will certainly use Wordrefiner again, though it may be a while as I’ve only just made a start on my next book. I highly recommend it!"

"As a brand new author, I thought I had done a really good job on my book. I went through over 10 rounds of editing, including reading the book aloud twice. I also ran it through an online grammar check service. I was amazed that Mark still found so many things that needed correcting, including several homophones I had totally missed. The best part is that he does it in a way that is kind and constructive - a way that builds your confidence in your book. Now I have full confidence in my book. People may be critical of what I wrote or how I wrote it, but they will not be able to criticize it for being full of typos thanks to Mark! Should I write more books, I will use Mark again and again." I proofread that book for him, it was a bit hard because I was laughing so much!

"Mark did a great job proofreading my debut novel, Code: Revelation. Two other editors had gone through it, and yet he spotted things the previous ones had missed. Not only that, he also offered valuable suggestions on wording and dialogue. The price was very reasonable and I even got to learn a bunch of things by working with him, so it's a no-brainer that I will work with him again. I can't recommend him enough."

"Mark Schultz has a dedication and desire to support authors. I have had the joyful experience of being interviewed by Mark twice. Each interview took place after Mark thoughtfully reviewed a poetry book of mine. There is a live dynamic with Mark’s interviews while he and I (and sometimes others drop in) dialogue back and forth over many days.
His questions are thoughtful, sometimes challenging- in a wonderfully thought-provoking way, and then out of left field Mark will pose the most brilliant question so that I have to pause and really contemplate both the question and my answer. Being interviewed by Mark is a unique shared experience that is so much fun! At the end of each interview, I realize how much I have grown through our dialogue. Mark has a deep curiosity and truly wants to know who you are and he wants to learn from the interviewee as well as share."
"Mark Schultz has a dedication and desire to support authors. I have had the joyful experience of being interviewed by Mark twice. Each interview took place after Mark thoughtfully reviewed a poetry book of mine.

G H Neale, author of "Arriba- A Problem", and others, began with a quote from me:
"'My skill is in spelling, so I tell a client that I can provide the best value after all the editing and rewriting is done.' Potential clients should note that Mr. Schultz also has a thorough understanding of British English; and is not adverse to neology either."

"Hello Mark,
I am happy I stayed with you as my proof reader, you lived to your promise. I have reviewed all the edits and I now like the book better - I feel very confident to tell people about the final product, the print and e-books now published on Amazon. I will for sure come back for your proofreading services for my other books. Thank you. Eileen Omosa"

"So, after countless personal edits, one brilliant editor who went over my book 3 times, one pro proofreader and a team of beta readers, @wordrefiner found typos in my book. Then again, he finds typos in almost every book.
Lesson: Have your book scoured by pros. It's worth it."

"If you think you don't need someone to look through your manuscript for typos/errors, you probably do.
Mark is incredible at what he does. Some of the errors that he found in my manuscript are kind of embarrassing, but he's so nice that I feel less bad about it. Also, his rates are incredibly affordable and worth the investment. I highly, highly, highly recommend."

"Having been distressed at the number of typos found in the first version of my book, my publisher recommended Mark's proofreading service to me. After assuring myself that I'd done about as well as I could in tidying up the typographical mess, Mark found errors I had missed. His service is indispensable for any writer wanting to produce clean copy. There is no substitute for a fresh look, and Mark has a fine set of peepers."

"Mark Schultz @wordrefiner performs a unique service. If you use professional editors (and shame on you if you don't), there is a lot of work incorporating the changes and there will be errors. I proof mine, but I leave errors as will you. Mark will help you give your book a final polish. I've tried and I know that if you don't, readers will find them and you certainly don't want that to happen. Don't forget to make an appointment with Mark to get your best (professional) work out there."

"I would like to thank Mark Schultz, from Word Refiner, for the outstanding job he did, proofing and editing my novel.
No matter how many times I read and edit my work (and I’m sure this is the same for many authors), I know that I will not have managed to pick up all the mistakes. Eventually, this becomes an ‘I can’t see the wood for the trees scenario’ and utterly frustrating. As a rule, when you are a self-published author, the costs of editing are so far beyond what you can afford as to be ridiculous. It was wonderful therefore, to find Word Refiner; an affordable, very professional service providing the writer with the peace of mind that their manuscript has been properly scrutinised.
Mark’s comments, suggestions and corrections made a huge difference to the readability of my book and I believe that, now, the narrative has a much better flow. I will definitely be using his services again."
Cheers Mark!

"I used Mark’s proofreading service for the first time on my debut mystery/thriller novel. Mark delivered ahead of his promised timeline, and his service surpassed my expectations. He offered suggestions to help dialogue flow more efficiently within a normal conversation. Also, his comments helped me look at certain areas of narrative differently. When you feel you have read your story so many times you want to tap out, Mark is your go-to guy to push your story to the next level of perfection.
With too many editing and proofreading options available, it’s comforting to know someone you can trust. I look forward to working with Mark again."
