"Clients are in great hands with DeLani Bartlette. She knows what she's doing. DeLani is fast, focused, and very smart as an editor; astute and encouraging as a coach; and extremely skilled as a journalist and creative writer. Most importantly, she is really, really fun."
- Gabrielle Idlet; writer, editor, teacher
"DeLani Bartlette proofed Riders on the Orphan Train, a 460-page historical novel by Alison Moore, just weeks before the book went to press. We met over coffee. I was over-caffeinated and fidgety; DeLani was calm, direct and her terms were fair. She began our hair-on-fire project immediately, working within a ridiculous time frame and completing it as promised. Throughout, she demonstrated obsessive attention to detail, notable professionalism and good cheer. She was, in fact, delightful. If you want eyes-that-miss-nothing on your ms, call DeLani. She will not disappoint." - Tom Wilkerson; principal, Roadworthy Press
"After researching and writing my [book], I decided I wanted to try my hand at designing [it] ... Although I was generally satisfied with the look of my manuscript , I knew it needed fine-tuning. That is when I contacted DeLani. I knew she had design experience and I believed she could give me some good tips. Well she certainly did! ... Many times I looked at her suggestions and thought there was no way I would do that; it would look awful. However, after trying out the suggestion, the page looked awesome ... DeLani looks not only at the detail but the big picture, making sure each page flows seamlessly into the next. DeLani is brilliant, and I recommend anyone looking at design issues take her up on her services. She knows what she is doing and is very reasonable! I highly recommend her!"
