“Judy
Serrano of Make Cents Editing provides a valuable and necessary
service to writers. What is particularly unique about her
services is that she is thorough, concise, and unobtrusive in
her recommendations, and her rates are exceptionally reasonable
for what she provides the writer for his/her investment. She
takes a positive attitude toward editing, which I found
particularly encouraging and helpful. I am happy to recommend
her without reservation.”

“My edited
manuscript was due within two weeks and I was without an editor.
In desperation, I contacted Make Cents Editing, asking if the
manuscript could be completed within a week. Thankfully, it was
done even sooner than expected. Thank you!”

"Judy's
expertise in editing was a gift for me, a first-time author. Her
work was prompt, thorough, and she was very patient when I was a
bit challenged with the technology of her edited work. I have no
regrets in hiring Judy for editing; I hope to use her skills
again with my next book!"

“Every
writer needs an editor, and Judy Serrano fills that void with a
refined touch. She has smoothed my rough edges and made me a
better writer. “

Author of Semiclad
“Authors
write. The creative juices flow and the words seem to spill out
faster than the fingers can turn them from thought to print. The
end product, while entertaining, is often an ill punctuated,
unformatted, grammatical mess.
Editors read the prized manuscript without taking notice of the
creative brilliance. They slash, circle, change, and make notes.
Their goal is to bring order, structure and textual correctness
to that chaotic jumble of words with no thought or idea of how
their efforts can turn a cascading waterfall into monotonous
drippings. Sigh.
It is little wonder then that I wanted to shout EUREKA when I
found Judy Serrano. An author who holds a masters in English!
Judy understands the creative mind. She rides the waves of
elation, sobs with the anguish, and tracks with each twist and
turn. All with her pencil in hand. Because she is an
accomplished author, she understands the craft of writing.
Because she is professionally trained in English, she is a
master of the art of the proper use and presentation of the
word.
Now that you have written the Great American Novel, finished the
latest edition of a historical event, or penned the Ode of the
century, it is time to submit it for some gentle tweaking. You
can entrust that prized work to Judy with confidence. The result
will be a manuscript that you can feel absolutely confident in
presenting as professionally edited and ready to publish.
Turn your sigh into a eureka. Go with Judy Serrano as your
editor.”

“I found
Judy to be a warm enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful person in
her role as editor. She always responded quickly to my queries,
and together we managed to put together a much-improved final
draft of my children’s book, The Golden Grasshopper, and I was
left with a happy and contented feeling about the process. I
hope you have as much success with Judy Serrano as I did.”

The Golden Grasshopped
“I was not
born a writer, although I did have a story to tell. Judy helped
turn the story into a book; her grammatical and organizational
skills polished my work into a marketable book I can be proud
of. Not only is her service affordable, she is efficient, prompt
and very easy to work with. I would recommend Judy Serrano to
anyone desiring their story to be shaped into a book.”

“Judy
Serrano helped get my book, Zamboni, P.I. By Default ready for
publication. The manuscript needed a lot of attention and she
helped by not only editing but also offering suggestions to
improve the final submission. She was thorough and stayed with
my project until it was completed and ready for final submission
to the publisher. I believe that anyone employing her services
will be pleased."
