Jim SLifetime Dream Fulfilled
Read More
One of my lifelong dreams was to write a fiction novel. After nearly five years of work, I am about to publish one. When I began writing this novel, the idea was daunting. After all, I was in my late fifties and had no track record as an author. Frequently I found myself asking why I was still pursuing this dream. Lucky for me, I found Cup and Quill Editing and Publication Services. My first contact in the company was the editor, founder, and CEO, Doctor Linda Tucker. She proved to be a priceless asset not only because of her knowledge but also because of her energetic personality.
My editor, Doctor Shannin Schroeder, was equally priceless. One of the challenges of my writing was my age. I am currently sixty-one years old, and I grew up in an age when Americans were far less politically correct. My use of language and my grammar were a bit archaic. Doctor Schroeder was both patient and informative all along in her work with me. She was available for assistance both via the internet and by phone. She helped shape my novel into something far greater than I imagined it would be.
I could not have worked with a better team of people. Apart from the accolades I wrote above, their services were amazingly affordable. I live in Minnesota, and before I found Cup and Quill, I met with a local small publishing company that has similar services. However, that company wanted to charge me approximately three times as much!
A couple of people who have already read my work wonder when I will write a sequel. I have no idea. But I do know that I will use Cup and Quill when I do.

Rebecca was great to work with. Her insights and questions pinpointed the weak areas of my story, which led to a stronger narrative. She exceeded my expectations and I will be working with Cup and Quill again.
Michael MPhenoenal to Work With
Read More
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.
Charles NVery Impressed
Read More
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 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.

"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."

I came upon Cup & Quill through search engine algorithms, but I can't imagine having been directed by a human hand to a better resource for professional editing. Skilled in both formal structure and the flexibility that language allows, the manuscript that resulted from editor Dr. Shannin Schroeder's caring attention is one that I am proud of beyond measure.

After interviewing at least six other companies, Cup & Quill editor Mike Leavitt was the perfect fit for me. As a writer, finding the perfect copy editor is almost as difficult as finding the perfect date. Cup & Quill exceeded my expectations, and I am so pleased. Brilliant? Incredibly. Funny? Absolutely. Diplomatic? Thank God. Friends for life? I can only hope. Thank you for making a nerve-racking process not only doable but enjoyable and educational.

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.

Supremely Helpful Read More
C & Q Editing was supremely helpful in my quest to write and publish my first book. The one- on- one coaching sessions were insightful and constructive in the completion of my book. The personal connection that I felt while working with the C&Q editors was perfect and took the stress out of the writing process. I would recommend C & Q to any writer or writing professional.

Linda has been able to bring information out of me that I didn't know was there. I highly recommend her to anyone needing coaching to write their first book or 100th.

Therapeutic Coaching & Guidance Read More
I was originally looking for a ghost writer, but after my consultation with Linda, she showed me how important it was to write my own perspective. It has proven to be very therapeutic for me and in these few short months, I have found strength and growth, thanks to the coaching and guidance I’ve received from Linda. I recommend her services for anyone looking to grow in their writing skills and spirit.

Very Happy with the Work Read More
I am an engineering professional and needed help to proofread some articles which a non-engineering person can understand. Cup & Quill gave me an appointment on same day and the articles were returned on the same week. Very happy with the work.

Linda was fantastic to work with in writing my first book. She was professional and thorough in her work! I would definitely recommend her services.

Quick and Clear Read More
I was very impressed with how quickly she responded to my requests and the turnaround time on the project. I have never used an editor and was unfamiliar with the process. She guided me through the steps, gave me a completion date (finished the project before that date), and I really liked how she was clear about pricing. The other people that responded did not give specific prices or timelines up front. Since I didn’t have experience with editors that was confusing. It was a quick and clear process. The editing was very good and I was happy with all of her suggestions and modifying. If I need editing services, I will be going straight back to her!

Pros! Read More
They are pros. Copyediting was perfect, helpful writing suggestions were thrown in for free.

Inspired Confidence Read More
This is my first short story that I wanted to publish. In looking for an editing company to look over my work before publishing was difficult. I wasn't finding one that fit what I needed. After speaking with Linda I felt confident that Cup and Quill would be able to help me publish. My editor Rebecca not only did a great job of going through my manuscript, but also have honest feedback on her overall thoughts. I greatly appreciated it, not only will I be coming back for editing on my next short story, but have already recommended others to seek this company out.
