Testimonials
“When I finished my book, I had no idea who could ever be the right person to edit it. This wasn’t just a manuscript, it was like my child, and I couldn’t hand it over to just anyone. I prayed and waited long, asking the Lord for an editor who would not only understand the words, but carry the heart of this testimony. I asked for someone faithful, someone who truly loves Jesus. And then, in God’s perfect timing, He brought Jeanette Windle into my life. Jeanette was so much more than an editor. She was God’s gift to this book and to me.”

“From the first time Jeanette and I spoke about bringing my story and message of Forever Faith to the printed page, I knew GOD was part of this connection. With her experience and upbringing in different Latin countries I knew she would understand many of my challenges growing up as Latino raised by a single mother. We were on the same pages the entire project, and I knew she would bring out the best in the story. This has been demonstrated by winning two industry awards already for the finished book. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jeanette.”

Sharing my daughter’s battle with cancer in print brought raw emotion back to the surface, but Jeanette caringly and thoroughly explained her changes throughout the editing process. It was important to her that the readers get to know me and my daughter and experience the faithfulness of God through my story, which helps readers feel as if they were there with us living through Natalie’s difficult journey. Jeanette always met deadlines. She was fast and welcomed my questions and comments. Having a great editor was an essential part of bringing my words to life, and I am very happy with this book.

Every email I received was clear, and missing very little. Despite USA-Australia time zone difference, all her responses were fast, detailed, self-explanatory, and friendly. As Jeanette shaped my mess, it was like watching a master-potter turn multiple lumps of unjoined clay into a finely finished vessel fit for use in the Lord’s house. I am so pleased with the outcome.”
