"Aryl provided a final proofread for my upcoming new release. I'm totally pleased with the results. Thank you very much!"
~Yvette Bostic, author of "Sentinel's Rise"
"I was in need of an editor. I made the inquiries and asked around, but nobody agreed to help me as the tension was slowly crushing my temples. I had a few bad experiences in the past and was reluctant to go into the same swamp again, afraid to embrace the disappointment.
​
Lyra and I chatted a little, and the conversation was both fun and professional, exactly as I expected. We quickly agreed to start with a small thing and agreed on price. Never before have I felt a greater pleasure while paying.
​
I wasn’t mistaken. It looked far better than I expected when the small thing came back. Some parts were crossed with red (not too many to my great satisfaction), and her comments were wise, easy to understand and funny.
I know that next time we will be doing a big thing – two, in fact. And later, probably several more. Lyra is a rare gem, and I know I will cherish her advice greatly."
-Ray Zdan, author of The Sleeper Chronicles
"Look folks- Editing is expensive. And really good editors are very, very expensive. Lyra is a very good editor, and she's reasonably priced! I recommend her development packages because no matter how good YOU think your manuscript is... it can be better. Lyra opened my eyes to not only glaring mistakes, but also ways to hone down certain, wordy (or overwritten) aspects of my Novella to make it the compelling, entertaining and five star book we all know it is (you'll see when you read it). So hire her. You won't regret it. It's money well spent. Whether or not you are self-publishing, or going to try and win the lotto (agent representation), your manuscript needs to be spot on. Lyra will help you get it there, and not bust your bank account to do it. THANKS LYRA! (Note to Editor: hold your horses- Enemy Walks is coming your way!)
~Stephen Eagles, author of "Enemy Walks" of "The Jessie Richter Series"
"Lyra has edited pieces for me on many occasions, she's the person you're looking for if you needed your work polished. She finds all those annoying mistakes that always seem to escape me and I highly recommend her!"
~R.M. Gauthier, author of "The Mystery of Landon Miller"
"An author who has read, reviewed, and highly recommends Lyra Shanti's books for their creative energy, I can attest that her storytelling prowess is also a reflection of the meticulous attention she devotes to editing."
~Eva Pasco, author of "An Enlightening Quiche "
