"I loved "plorking" (working and playing) with Guy. I'd had my book edited by someone who totally ignored my voice and style and overcharged me. A bad combination! Guy stepped in and not only did he hear me — he made my book so much better. He created a book that reads like I was telling my stories, not him. And he added pages of ideas that brought it to a new level. Guy is egoless, creative. intuitive, easy to work with, generous, patient and went far and beyond what I expected. He also introduced me to Angela Ahimsa — the brilliant artist who created my book cover. I feel blessed that he showed up when he did and you will too!"

"I hired Guy Crittenden to help me with my recent book The T-H-R-I-V-E Protocol: Six Steps to Overcome Fear and Create a Life you Love. His edits were excellent and made the book more engaging and informative. I enjoyed working with Guy very much and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional editor."

"I was introduced to Guy through a mutual Canadian friend. Guy reaffirmed my preference to work with Canadians whenever possible. They share a certain sensibility that is gracious, friendly, and trustable. Guy also brings with him a wealth of experience in wordsmithing with an extensive resume of writing behind him. He took a very long series of articles and helped me organize them into a book. His process was professional and very helpful. Guy was also extremely generous with his time and knowledge, giving me all the information I needed to move forward with marketing. Being my first book, I felt like I had a real team member cheering me on."

DECIDE
You've been thinking about your project. You've wanted to improve your writing for some time. Maybe English isn't your first language and you want to write a better business letter or report. Or you want to write a book. It's time to commit!
1
SCHEDULE
Your first move is to schedule an initial appointment with me. A quick conversation by email and then a phone call. This is where we determine your needs and how we'll work together.
2
COMMIT
Whether it's a "boot camp"-style training session, or series of sessions, about grammar, punctuation, style or other elements of good writing, or a discussion about your article or book project, you'll pay a small deposit and we'll get started!
3
PUBLISH
We will follow a plan and schedule specific to your project and needs. Perhaps you'd prefer to dictate your story into voice-to-text software and then tidy it up? Maybe your manuscript is finished and needs a final edit. Whatever your needs, we'll design a plan for you, which could include crowdfunding and finding an agent and publisher.
