From LGBTQI + Romance Author Angelique Jurd

I have had the pleasure this year to work with Penny Tsallos as both a developmental editor and a general copy editor. Her input and expertise have been invaluable in ensuring I produce books of a high quality. 

Penny is skilled and efficient with an excellent eye for detail. She has an excellent turn around time and complies with deadlines easily. 

As an LGBTQ author, it is important to me that I work with someone who shows not just integrity and dedication but who approaches her work with an open mind and heart. 

I have absolutely no trouble recommending her to any author, in any genre. 

From Anne Barwell, Writer, reader, musician, knitter and cat lover.

Penny was recommended to me by several New Zealand author friends, and I can see why. I was very impressed by her service, and turnaround. She also kept in touch right through the process, with prompt emails replying to any questions I had as I worked my way through her edits.  

I also found her respective of author voice, and the decisions made in regard to worldbuilding etc. Her suggestions were helpful, and added several layers of polish to my manuscript.  

I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her.

Penny was introduced to me by fellow New Zealand author, Angelique Jurd. From day one she has been easy to contact, fabulous to deal with, and extremely helpful. 

Penny is skilled and efficient with an excellent eye for detail. She has an excellent turn around time and complies with deadlines easily. 

During the editing process, Penny communicated regularly with her progress and her turnaround time was as promised. 

I thoroughly recommend Penny and look forward to working with her again soon. 


From Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey

Penny is very easy to work with, and has an extremely fast turnaround time. My co-author and I found her to be open and approachable, and communication was always polite and encouraging. Juggling a co-authored manuscript was no challenge at all for her.

Penny has a great eye for detail, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. I would recommend her to any authors seeking an experienced editor for a stress-free editing process.

From Jax Calder

Penny came highly recommended to me by fellow LGBTQ+ writers and my experience with her exceeded my expectations. She was thorough and professional throughout the process and delivered an even faster turnaround than she’d initially promised.

I really appreciate her editing process of doing two passes of the manuscript plus a final proofread, as it gave me the confidence that every issue had been fixed and I was producing a professional product. I highly recommend Penny and look forward to working with her in the future.
