In engaging an editor for my ‘fact-based fiction’ novel, I was looking for someone who could critically examine my manuscript and provide valuable feedback. Brenda Gurr from Correct Change Writing and Editing surpassed all my expectations. Brenda professionally edited my book and made thought-provoking changes, comments and suggestions. Brenda also provided an insightful report that led me to rethink aspects of my book, which led to marked improvements. It was a pleasure to work with Brenda and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I feel very relieved that I came across Brenda Gurr from Correct Change Writing and Editing in my search for a children’s book editor. I had approached a few others but Brenda was quite clearly the most direct and responsive.
Brenda assisted me with editing my children’s books. Both books have now been published and released. What I appreciated most about working with Brenda was the simplicity of her reporting, her reachability and prior experience in children’s writing.
I found the experience of working with Brenda extremely beneficial and really effortless. Responses were always very timely and concise.
Undoubtedly Correct Change Writing and Editing will be my ‘go to’ editor for any other projects I undertake. It is very reassuring to know I now have an editor I can trust and work well with in future. Highly recommended.

Brenda has just copyedited my first picture book manuscript and I’m so grateful I found her. I wanted my copyeditor to really know and understand picture books and Brenda is a total expert. The copyedit she did added so much value to my manuscript and was technically very thorough. She has really helped to take my manuscript to the next level. Her industry knowledge was insightful, helping me to make my manuscript more appealing to the current climate of the Australian picture book publishing scene. As a writer, I think it’s essential to find talented people to help you achieve your goals and I’m so happy that I now know a talented copyeditor.

I thoroughly recommend Brenda Gurr’s Correct Change manuscript assessment service. Brenda was punctual with communication and delivered the assessment in a timely manner. Her feedback on my picture book manuscript was thoughtful, insightful and comprehensive. Her detailed suggestions were in keeping with the essence and tone of the manuscript, and pushed me to consider subtle tweaks to language use, which significantly enhanced the work. Her advice on presentation, plot and character development and marketability was also invaluable. The experience has not only strengthened the manuscript but has given me tools to work with in my future writing endeavours.
