Cup & Quill Editing & Publication Services LLC was phenomenal to work with. I was paired with an editor, Jane Theriault who is an expert in APA and understood methodologies very well. This pairing proved to be imperative for my research manuscript. The resulting work was a high quality publishable academic paper. I cannot say thank you enough to Linda and her team.

Linda is amazing! I started with about 10 drafts of an essay that I thought was going nowhere, and she was able to guide me and shape my work so that it was clear and concise but still felt like me. It felt like she moved a giant block, which then gave me the confidence to apply to multiple programs when I initially only intended on applying to one. She is a great writer and editor, but also very intuitive which is what makes her exceptional at what she does. I feel lucky to have found her, and will continue to use her services. I highly recommend her!

As a first time author, I knew I needed a professional set of eyes to review my novel. So I reached out to Linda at Cup and Quill who put me in touch with Michael Levitt. When I received his edit recently and his suggestions for plot development, I was really impressed. The time and effort he put into my novel far exceeded what I was expecting. I couldn’t be happier in my decision to work with Linda and Michael. I’d give them a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10! My novel is far better as a result of Michael’s efforts and expertise.

Linda helped me tremendously throughout the process of writing my research paper. She helped me to develop my guiding questions and topic and continued to help me with writing and organizing my ideas. She stuck with me through all of the frustrations and writers’ blocks and helped me to produce an amazing work that received an A. I am very grateful for her help throughout the process and the techniques that she taught me.

“This was my first experience with a professional editor, and everything went better than anything I could have planned for. I’ve had friends tell me horror stories about what they experienced with editing, and it made me apprehensive about paying for an editor. But I have to say that this was worth every dime. Jessica not only helped me cut back on my word count, but she gave me great and helpful tips on how to improve my story. Her feedback was positive and helped motivate me to keep working on my story. I found the task of editing my book daunting, but Jessica eased my worry and made the process extremely easy. I even learned how to use Microsoft Word better. And Linda has been great with communication and helping me set up a payment plan. There’s no smoke and mirrors here. I got more than what I paid for and I can’t wait to move forward with publishing my book.”

I am so grateful for Linda, more than I can possibly say. I was incredibly overwhelmed by applying for a dream job. I had six essays to write and a cover letter. I knew what I wanted to say but couldn’t quite express it in writing. I’ve never been a strong writer and didn’t think I could get through it. Linda and I made a game plan and it was done in a week. I would write a rough draft and Linda would edit it into a work of art. I’m so proud of my cover letter and essays. Money very well spent!

I can’t begin to express my amazement at and appreciation of the incredible editing by Shannin at Cup and Quill.  Since this was my first book, I didn’t know what to expect and just thought correcting my misspellings and grammar would be in order. However, it was much more. Shannin showed me better sentence construction besides making comments in the margins with corrections and offering suggestions for better ways to express certain passages or pointing out repetition. I also appreciated her complements to me about my many exciting adventures with my young daughter when we lived in Cairo.  I will definitely us Cup and Quill for my next book!

I had assigned Linda an important project to write about mission, vision, and description of the organization and she has done a wonderful job showing her professionalism and the quality of work with timely delivery of my work. I would recommend her work to anyone willing to get high-quality work on time with reasonable charges. Thanks, Linda and wish you success in your endeavors.

Linda helped motivate me to finish my final paper. She asked many thought-provoking questions to strengthen my writing and guided me through a difficult situation. Linda is a great coach!

Linda took my mangled grammar and, with her understanding of the subject matter, and her amazing ability to rewrite, she recreated a document that I am now able to send to others to solicit collaboration on a project that is very important to me.

“Linda and her team have been nothing short of amazing to work with. I reached out for an editor, and what I received is so much more. Linda listened to me and heard me. She knew exactly what I needed when she sent me to her associate editor, Rebecca Stohler. I am a first-time author, and I was nervous about how Rebecca would react to my manuscript. She has handled me and my many questions with kid gloves. Rebecca is direct but kind. Linda and Rebecca have both shown me the importance of slowing down and not rushing my work. I purchased the coaching package with Rebecca, and I cannot list all the things I have learned. She is an incredible teacher and very easy to talk to. Rebecca is never more than a phone call or text away. She has taught me not only how to improve my manuscript but also how to feel more confident in my writing. From the first phone call, I could tell that Linda and Rebecca genuinely care about helping others reach their goals. It is not about money for this Cup & Quill team, and that is a rare find in this day and time.”

Linda was the quickest to respond and she was very relatable and professional. She took my kids’ book manuscript and very promptly returned it to me with all of the wonderful editing that turned it quickly into a book ready for print. The upgrades she included were ones well needed that put finishing touches in place to bring cohesion to the story and help me captivate my readers’ imaginations and hearts. Thank you, Linda, at Cup & Quill. I am so happy to have worked with you and I highly recommend you and your services. Darcy Slimak Barefoot Heart Studio

“Working with editor Dr. Shannin Schroeder of Cup and Quill on my debut book Becoming A Better Man has been an absolute joy. It can be extremely intimidating putting such deeply personal work out into the world. Shannin worked with me through the entire editing process, respected my voice, and challenged me where necessary. When I became stuck, we took the relationship further, and Shannin coached me weekly through the final edits to complete my manuscript.”    

Fall 2018, I began a doctoral program.  I was a bit nervous and stressed because I had been out of school for 9 years.  Writing is not my strong point, at least I don’t believe it is. I began searching for a writing coach.  Linda Tucker was the first person that I contacted, but wanted to research others before making a decision.  God kept leading back to Linda. I am very grateful that I had chosen Linda to work with me. I also was impressed with her credentials,her demeanor, and upbeat attitude.  There were times when I would stress and struggle over an assignment, Linda would call me and we would talk it through.  Linda is very patient, positive, encouraging,passionate, supportive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and has great ideas to share.  There is so much more that I can say about her. Lord willing and I am able to, I will continue to have Linda work with me throughout the program. Thank you so much Linda! I really appreciate you!  

I needed someone to edit my children’s book, and I am so glad I contacted Cup and Quill! Linda was amazing! She responded quickly and was very nice and professional. I was nervous about submitting my work because this is the first time I’ve ever done it. Linda made me feel comfortable and did an amazing job helping me get my book ready to publish. Thank you, Linda! I would recommend Linda to anyone looking for a great editor!

What a delight working with them. I truly believe my beginning chapters of the book are so much better as a result. Linda was well ahead of schedule. I’m grateful for her services.  

I used Linda to edit my first manuscript. As a new author, I couldn’t help but feel vulnerable turning my work over to someone with the experience Linda has. After all, commas and semi-colons in my college English courses scared me. Yet, Linda’s professionalism quickly put me at ease and the returned product assured me that I had selected the most efficient editor for my project. I look forward to working with Linda again in the future.

Linda was amazing helping me write my personal statement for my law school applications! If I ever need any writing help in the future, I will definitely use her services again!

A Midwife’s Song

My first six books were published by major publishers so when I decided to publish my seventh independently, I knew I would need help.  The staff at Cup and Quill went above and beyond and were so professional and understanding.  They say “don’t judge a book by the cover,” but the cover of my new book, A Midwife’s Song: Oh Freedom, designed by Cup and Quill artist, Isaac Peterson, will definitely help with sales.

Thanks everyone.  Patricia Harman CNM, MS, midwife and author.  http://www.patriciaharman.com
