Dana Journey, The Apprentices, Book 1 of the Crimson Guard Trilogy (2018)

“I delivered Ms. Hayes what I believed to be a finished novel, and what I got back exceeded my expectations. She not only caught the issues that I knew of, but also ones that I either overlooked or hadn’t seen. Her comments about the overall novel were thoughtful and appropriate. Too many people who call themselves editors will just throw the prose into a program, but Ms. Hayes took the time to read the entire manuscript and was able to give excellent insight from an outside perspective. I have always been a believer in that you can’t edit your own work, and Ms. Hayes’ attention to detail proved my belief right. I can only speak to her ability to edit a fantasy novel, but from what I have seen about her abilities leads me to believe that she would be successful at other genres.” —Dana Journey, The Apprentices, Book 1 of the Crimson Guard Trilogy (2018)
