People are saying

I chose to work with Deborah of Intuitive Gateways to edit my book Transcending Tribal Politics because her sample edit was so clear and thorough. I am so glad I did. Throughout the process she was always prompt, friendly, and easy to work with. She dramatically improved the quality of my writing and taught me things that will stay with me in any future projects I may have. I would recommend Deborah DeNicola to any writer who want to work with a highly qualified professional to polish their creative project for publication. Thanks, Deborah!
