Courtney Conlon, CEO, Pacifica Chamber of Commerce

Living in the same community of Pacifica for over three decades, I have known and admired Joanne through our mutual involvement in a few community-wide events. However, I never had the need for her professional services until recently and wow, was I impressed! Joanne’s attention to detail coupled with her commitment for perfection and precise editing skills is extraordinary. Knowing I was on a tight deadline, Joanne worked steadfastly to get my lengthy document edited and completed within the allotted timeframe. Joanne is a delight to work with and is worth her weight in gold! She is definitely a credit to the world of professional editors and publishers! Thank you Joanne.

Amy Caetta and Karen Lomheim, Geenie and the Weenie Race

When we decided to write a children’s book, we knew very little about the publishing business and we were completely inexperienced as children’s authors. We had a quirky story to tell based on actual events involving Amy and her adopted rescue Dachshund Presley. We are so blessed to have been referred to Joanne. She helped us create exactly what we envisioned in a children’s picture book. She is professional and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her!  

Jay Valentine, Co-CEO, ExerciseFriends.com and author, ExerciseFriends

Joanne was a special and outstanding guide on our quest to the first book for ExerciseFriends.com. She guided us through every step of creating a manuscript, building correct footnotes, managing the cover creation and delivering a very good product. We could not have done it without her, and we are using Joanne on our two upcoming book projects.

My experience with Joanne Shwed has been delightful on all levels. I appreciate her eye for details along with her creative influence. As an author many times, the information will be downloaded through me so quickly I do not focus on details. Joanne has a remarkable ability to recognize order and flow, making the reading experience enjoyable and inspirational. She is quick and precise. I was very impressed at the speed at which she responded and worked side by side with me on my fourth book. I am grateful for her presence and gift in this world.
