Testimonials

Gwyn of Gold Dusting Editing was superb. She clearly understood the assignment. My book needed structure and significant edits. Her insightfulness was pure joy. I'm so thankful for Gwyn's suggestions, her direction for my book, and her guidance. Thank you, Gwyn.  Because of you, I am more confident in myself as a self-publishing author.   Chef James Jabbarr

Gwyn has made so many invaluable contributions to our organization. She runs our Refiners writers group, and I value her clear strategic direction for the program she has tailored specifically to members’ needs as well as her focus on creating value for all involved. She knows what she is talking about. She is intensely passionate about writing, editing, books, and supporting authors. Gwyn is actively involved in our literary coaches group and editors network and shares her incredible insight with fellow editorial professionals. She is also an amazing editorial partner. While my firm specializes in copyediting and proofreading, Gwyn is part of our dynamic go-to duo for manuscript assessments and developmental editing to refer to when clients are in need of expert guidance on autobiographies and memoirs, in particular. She is exceptionally skilled at maintaining the author’s voice throughout a complete overhaul, which is astonishing considering how much heavy lifting is required.

Gwyn has a keen eye for story, and her edits are insightful and precise. She's a strong communicator whether it's on the page during edits or in the emails we exchanged about timelines for completion. Whenever I've had questions about a suggestion she's made, she's been happy to discuss them with me. I highly recommend Gwyn's services.

Gwyn is a knowledgeable, gifted, and insightful editor, equally adept at addressing large-scale issues like pacing, tone, and character arcs and the finer points of prose style. Every book is so much better after she works her magic!
