"As a new author, I was quick to learn just how vital an editor is in the process of writing. I was fortunate enough to have someone recommend Diana's editing services to me, and I could not have made a better choice! She goes beyond the thorough proof-reading and needed adjustments that good editors provide. Diana has been a source of encouragement, a mentor, and a sounding board throughout the journey, and she has made the writing experience so much more enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Diana's editing services for both the novice and the seasoned writer!" ~ James Wittenborg, Author

Diana was the hero I was looking for. When I sent what I thought was an ARC to Diana, I was very nervous.  You see. My book had been through multiple hands. Writers. An editor. And no one said anything about the structural problems in the book. I knew that they were there, but I had been working on the book for a few years, and by that point, I couldn’t see the forest or the trees or the leaves or the birds or anything. I needed help. And then, there she was. Diana. The protector of the forest came in and told me the truth that I had been both dreading and needing to hear. There were problems in my book. She said she could fix it. I believed her. I had read her work. It was flawless. I figured she could fix my book. And she did.  After Diana did her magic, my book now makes sense and is saying what I want it to say. I’m no longer nervous about sending it out into the world.  She gives straight forward advice. Her edits help you to amplify your voice. You end up saying what you want to say, but better and clearer, and louder.   I’m just truly grateful.

​"My experience with Pages Promotions Inc. and the community of writers they have created has been second to none. Not only are the professional editing services affordable, they are instructional. I feel as though I have grown as a writer with every project I have submitted to them." 10/10   ~ J.A. Bullen, Author

"I can’t give enough praise to Diana Kathryn Penn of Pages Promotions for the amazing job she has done with my new short story collection. I wrote most of the stories at her suggestion for some short story prompts, which she reviewed and suggested that I write a few more to make another short story book. This is the first time I have worked with Diana on publishing a book. She did an excellent job with the editing of the book as well as getting it published. She instructed me in every aspect of the process from how to do editorial corrections, giving me covers to choose from, formatting everything and keeping me motivated through it all. She was extremely easy to work with and is a great instructor for the entire process. I would highly recommend Pages Promotions for all your editing and publishing needs. Diana is truly a gift to all of us authors."   ​~Marianne Wieland

"Publishing your novel independently can be a stressful nightmare, especially when it’s your first time. When I did it, I had no clue what I was doing and the finished product was less than perfect. I’d published two novels on my own through Amazon before a writer friend of mine connected me with the indie publisher she’d used for her debut novel. I was skeptical going into it, as I was unsure how it would play out. I feel like at the end of the day, the artistic integrity of the piece should coincide with the artist’s view, not the publisher’s; I’d rather have a mediocre book that fits my vision, rather than a best seller that didn’t stay true to how I wanted it. Those fears were quickly quelled, though, as I soon learned that Diana’s main goal is to keep the author as involved as possible. She’s very knowledgeable as an author herself, and is always willing to help in any way that she can. In my experience, she never told me to change anything; any suggestions she made were simply that. If for whatever reason, I didn’t want to make the change, she let it go. If Diana takes you on as a client, all she wants to do is help you release the best book possible. She will work tirelessly to promote it as well through her Indie Reads TV station as well as the Pages Promotions festivals that she coordinates. I feel like her rates are fair and she’s willing to work with you on the payment schedule; if you can’t pay it all upfront, she is happy to do monthly installments, which really helped me out at the time that I was delving into the republishing of my first novel. Since then, I have published a poetry collection and am in the midst of writing a second one, which I will definitely be publishing through Diana. I’m a very anxious person, so I need to be comfortable in order to proceed with a lot of things, but I have no reservations about working with Diana again. She’s passionate about what she does and that reflects in her work; she doesn’t discriminate, and will champion her client above all else. Having such a gracious editor really helped me to be more comfortable putting my work out there and testing the waters in new genres and new subjects. I’ve been extremely happy with the work we’ve done together so far, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced editor/publisher."  ~ Gabriel Mero, Author

​The book festival was super comfortable and inviting.  ~Chelsea Gouin, Author

 

"Editors are like English Teachers. Get mad at 'em all you like. But they're right. Notice I did not place a comma after "But" and I use the shorthand slang "'em" instead of the correct word "them". I did this out pure rebellion. In all seriousness Diana Kathryn Penn is amazing and I could not have written my book without her." ​~Jeremy Nicholas, Author​
