TESTIMONIALS

Claudette was my editor for my book Accidental Exorcist and she was absolutely outstanding. As a first-time author struggling with word count and structure, I was blown away by her patience, precision, and creativity. She pulled my manuscript apart with care, offering smart solutions, fresh ideas, and seamless continuity that elevated the entire book. Brilliant, reliable, and a joy to work with. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
 

As an author it is of utmost importance that the editor of my work would streamline the text whilst maintaining the original voice and integrity of the work in its entirety. Upon first consultation with Claudette it became clear that she was a professional in her field and passionate about working with her clients to achieve the best outcome.
Claudette is gifted with a profound ability to align herself with the vision of an author and articulate in words what is otherwise thoughts and images upon the mind of her client.
With such professional and passionate editorial input from Claudette I am pleased to say my manuscript was successfully taken under contract with Westbow Press Publishing in the United States.
I have no hesitation in utilising Claudette as editor for any future work that presents itself in my writing career, she works with integrity and honour in all editorial work she puts her hand to and I wish her well in pursuit of what is clearly a gift and call upon her life.

Claudette, Awesome work. You are fast and attentive!

Claudette coached me through writing a chapter for an anthology. Her patience and wisdom knows no bounds and she very calmy walked us through from the journey of developing an author mindset , to setting aside time to write, to finally get over our fears and talk about our published work. I would highly recommend her services for anyone thinking of getting that book out of their head and into reality!

A big thank you for all your help with the book. Love your work CC!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Claudette across multiple book projects, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her attention to detail is second to none, and she consistently delivers work within an impressive timeframe. What makes her stand out is her holistic approach, she doesn’t just edit; she brings thoughtful insights and ideas that truly elevated my manuscripts. Every collaboration has been seamless, professional, and inspiring. If you’re looking for an editor who combines precision with creativity, Claudette is the perfect choice.

Dear CC, I can’t tell you how wonderful your review is and how much it means to me. I have worked with many professional copy editors over the years who haven’t done half as much as you and have definitely not possessed the creative insight and wordsmithing prowess you exhibit. You are the Leonardo Da Vinci of manuscript editing.

I originally engaged CC to help me with the writing and editing of my first book. I had no writing experience and she came highly recommended. To say I am happy with the outcome of our work together is a massive understatement, I find it hard to express how grateful I am to have met CC and that we could share the same vision and passion for my projects.
CC has a way of making everything sound grea. She took my words and recordings and turned them into next level, relatable story telling. She has a way of making sense of all the words and ideas floating around in my head. I have never worked with someone that has just got me, got my work and my message so wholly.
It was a pleasure and refreshing to work with someone so professional but also intuitive in guiding the development of the book from concept stage to completed product. As a result, there was no question that I would entrust my second book to this process.
I am proud to put my name to the work we produced together and am forever grateful to CC for helping me get these books out of my head and onto paper.

Claudette has the ability to deeply understand her clients' needs and produce outstanding results. She was instrumental in designing and creating an instructional training program that has brought clarity, consistency and effectiveness to our customer service dispute resolution process.

Her insight honours the perspectives of both customers and staff and her approach has helped shape how our team communicates under pressure. As a result, the program has been a huge success and is now implemented across the country.

Claudette Chant and I met nearly ten years ago at a Conference. Even then I was drawn to her warmth and compassion and, knowing her skills as an Editor, she was my first choice when I needed someone to proof and edit my book.
As well as her practical editing skills, what really drew me to Claudette was her passion to infuse my words with greater meaning and depth, so that they connected even more thoughtfully with my audience. Claudette’s ability to use her intuition to connect with my message and audience, and to mold my manuscript into a polished piece ready for publication, was the best investment I’ve made.
Claudette kept me informed throughout the entire editing process, including when she would be starting on my manuscript and an estimated completion date, and was happy to hear my thoughts when it came to the proofing/editing drafts she sent me. Claudette also managed the formatting process for online book stores, including Amazon Kindle and iBooks, which made this process so much easier for me.
I have no hesitation in recommending CC to authors needing editing work done to strengthen and enhance their overall message. She was so lovely to work with and I was extremely happy with the finished product.

thank you so much for all of your little notes and ideas alongside the editing - i really appreciated knowing what resonated with you, and i also loved your additions to the light house theme. i love how this symbol brings up new ideas all of the time! you truly are a star and i will be recommending you widely! xoo

I have absolutely loved collaborating with Claudette. She really listened and understood my needs. By asking all the right questions, Claudette was able to turn my collection of ideas into a structure that I could work with and that kept me on track the whole time. Finding this direction early on was essential to the success of my project and I’m grateful for the open communication that made it possible.
Her trust in me and enthusiasm for my work gave me the confidence to keep going when things got tough and enabled me to produce a resource that really serves my audience.
The most important outcome of my work with Claudette is the heart and soul she gave to my book. She was able to stand in the shoes of my readers, to know exactly what they wanted and how they’d best receive it, and then she presented a perfectly polished version of exactly what I had been trying to say.
Bravo CC. I can’t wait to work with you again.
