Joy has edited many of my books, and she is a friendly, trustworthy and professional editor who I know I can rely on. As well as thorough line editing, Joy helps me with character and plot suggestions and also with fact checking. There are a lot of facts to check in a historical novel! I am very grateful for the work she has done for me so far, and very pleased with it too! Emily Organ, author of The Outsider, the Runaway Girl series, and the Penny Green series.
Joy is quite literally a joy to work with. She has worked on three of my novels and she'll certainly be my first choice for the next one. It's rare to find someone with an eye for detail as well as a clear view of the bigger picture, but Joy has both. She's also extremely efficient and reliable. Thank you, Joy! Polly Courtney, author of Feral Youth, Golden Handcuffs and Poles Apart.
A special thanks for your diligence and belief in the importance of this subject. It encouraged me so much the moment that you caught on fire, passionately and patiently using your talent to make this book even more compelling and readable. I'm eternally grateful for your care and support with the hundreds of hours you poured into this book. Steven Bennett, author of Stolen Childhood.
That Joy fulfils the highest expectations of expertise in her field is not the main attribute that sets her apart from others; but that which cannot be acquired, namely her personal skills, which enable her to communicate so kindly, clearly and with such endless patience. Sanden Grevelle, author of They Couldn't Have Known.
I am so thankful for my talented and dedicated editor Joy Tibbs, who has also stepped in when needed to serve as my writer, which lifted the burden from my shoulders and helped bring my vision for my book to fruition. Elisabeth Yaotani, author of How I Got My Life Back: My Journey With Interstitial Cystitis.
I was really impressed with the level of attention to detail in Joy's edit of my work. She not only picked up on the individual instances of grammar and sentence structure that needed addressing, but also on other matters such as if a character had repeated a phrase used earlier in the book. She has been very friendly and professional and always willing to help with any of my questions. Thank you! RD Stevens, author of The Journal.
I don't know how we'd manage without Joy. She's an incredible asset to all our publications and I can't recommend her highly enough. Steve Legg, publishing editor of Sorted magazine.
Joy did an excellent job in editing my manuscript. I had written four books previously for three different publishers and this was by far my best experience of a proofreader. Her attention to detail is excellent and she was able to suggest key amendments to the text which improved its clarity and flow whilst being sensitive to my overall intention. She was also very accessible and open to conversation around specific issues which was a great help. I have no hesitation in commending her services. Roger Ellis, author of Essence.
Joy is a delight to work with. Very friendly and yet totally professional. I was extremely pleased with her work which she delivered before the agreed date. Joy thanks so much for making my magazine stress free. Mark Greenwood, founder of Forty-Three Trust and Look Closer magazine.
I would like to thank Joy of Editing very much for proofreading my book. I have taken a couple of years to write, rewrite and edit it and thought I had made a good job of ensuring that the spelling, punctuation and grammar were correct. However, I was amazed when it came back with so many corrections. I can't thank you enough for going through it with a fine-tooth comb and making sure the final draft was absolutely correct. Margaret Hall, author of What a Coincidence!
I would like to thank Joy, who has been fundamental in supporting and guiding me throughout this dissertation. She has played a key role and has been a font of inspiration during my university career. Vincenzo Covelli, MA Marketing student (University of Liverpool).
An ugly duckling got sent to Joy of Editing and it came back a swan. I was able to hand in a perfectly written assignment. Kate Thompson, childcare specialist.
