David Gatewood

Outstanding. He is focused, effective, and just fun to work with. I found myself saying ‘great catch’ in the comments over and over. For both developmental and copyediting, I recommend David.

If anyone is looking for the best editor around, look no further. David has been a huge part of my last five novels, and I can’t possibly do him justice. He is a genius. And hilarious. I’ve been bugging him to open shop for a year now, but he’s wanted to remain unlisted. He finally caved.

Hiring David to edit the four books of my fantasy series, The Drinnglennin Chronicles, was, hands down, the best decision I’ve made as an independently publishing author. David’s guidance and contributions greatly improved my manuscripts and far exceeded the traditional role of a copy/line editor. Simply put, when it comes to polishing a manuscript, I place full trust in his excellent judgement and honest feedback, and I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else. He is, in my book, the best in the business.

Vouching for someone is a serious thing and I don’t do it often. But when it comes to David Gatewood, I do so without reservation. He has chiseled, honed, buffed, and polished my novels until they gleamed. He’s done so with patience, professionalism, and heart. So not only can I say that his skills are worth every cent and more, I’m indebted to him.
