“I was nervous about hiring somebody to edit my latest e-book. I didn’t know what it would be like to have a professional go through my writing. I had vague ideas of Chris sending back my e-book with a big “F” written across the top of it. My high school english class delusions were proven to be unfounded as working with Chris was an absolute breeze. He made a multitude of helpful suggestions and changes that made me feel like my work was being buffed and polished to the highest degree, not broken down and remade in his own image. I highly recommend hiring Chris if you’re looking to add that touch of professionalism that can make your next e-book stand out from the crowd.”
Sam Spurlin, author of Regaining Consciousness

“I’d never used an editor before Chris. Mostly that’s just because I never thought how useful an editor would be. There were so many mistakes in my book The Luxury of Less that I didn’t notice it was almost mind boggling. Chris got back to me quickly with a fully edited document (both with edits showing and edits implemented). He did a fantastic job and he’ll do you right.”
Karol Gajda, author and blogger at Ridiculously Extraordinary
“Chris O’Byrne is the kind of editor that leaves you in no doubt as to his skill and competency. What I love about working with Chris is his promptness, humor and courtesy. There was not a hint of superiority in what he did—just a gracious sharing of how to clean up a manuscript so that it reads better. And he offers a full range of editing services. We all need editors to be there for us as we wade through a manuscript we have written and reread many times over. His fresh eye is indispensable and I highly recommend him. You can’t go wrong with such a perceptive and genial guy.”
Vicki Woodyard, author of LIFE WITH A HOLE IN IT: That’s How The Light Gets In
“Chris O’Byrne did a wonderful job editing my book, BALANCED PARENTS Create Global Peace, which he also published for me with Lulu.com. I am completely satisfied with his service. He is prompt with his promises and inexpensive. He has my whole-hearted recommendation. I will use his service again for my next book.”
Ingrid Wild, author of BALANCED PARENTS Create Global Peace
“Chris O’Byrne was thorough and insightful editing my novel. I particularly appreciated his respect for my writing style rather than imposing his preferences on my work. He was a considerate and friendly professional to engage in the sensitive task of editing one’s writings. I highly recommend Chris to writers seeking a first rate editor.”
D K Elliott, author of The Canyon Caper
“Chris O’Byrne is an outstanding editor. He brings all of the expertise without the attitude of criticism and judgment. He goes the extra mile and is worth twice what he charges.”
Scott Lindquist, author of The Jesus Factory
“Being able to work with Chris O’Byrne helped us through a very difficult time in the book writing process. Chris provided prompt responses to us and never seemed ‘stuffy’ or ‘aloof’ to us but carried on with a very friendly demeanor! We will continue to use Chris in the future for additional books as these are written!”
Jim and Phyllis Waltman (Book: Sunny Boy and Little Sunny written by Phyllis Waltman)
“Angela of Booklocker recommended Chris O’Byrne to me as a as an editor. I thought my book was well done, but Chris took my manuscript to a new level. As a first time author I was apprehensive about my book, but Chris is a true professional. His style, his focus on detail, his confidence and enthusiasm, plus the quick turn around of my manuscript, gave me the perfect book. I would recommend him to all writers whether they are first time or seasoned. His work is impeccable.”

“Mr. Chris O’Byrne was recommended by Angela Hoy of BookLocker Publishers. Mr. O’Byrne is an excellent, unique Free Lance Editor. New authors usually understand they are entering uncharted waters and anxiety and apprehension are the order of the day. Mr. O’Byrne has excellent credentials in the mechanics of reviewing and properly editing a manuscript. The humanity of the man is a joy. While editing and preparing a manuscript for publication, his concern for its success, the confidence and relaxation he instills in the author is unparalleled. The cost of his services are easily affordable. The quality is second to none. I would recommend Mr. O’Byrne to amateur and seasoned authors. Amateur authors will find satisfaction and peace of mind.”
