“Working with Gail as my editor was a joy. She went above and beyond the typical editorial duties to ensure that my book was crisp and clear, and spoke poignantly to my target audience. I hope that we can work on other projects in the future. She truly cares about each project, and it shows.”

“Gail’s goal is to evaluate your content so it’s inspiring, engaging and she pays attention to all the minutiae because your finished product is just as important to her as it is to you. She made necessary changes while respecting my thoughts and the format that had already been laid out. I’m so grateful to know her and will continue to seek her guidance for my future writing projects. Gail is the coach and cheerleader I needed to get across the finish line.”

“My book project took a major step forward when I discovered Gail’s editorial capabilities and services. Her many years of experience in working with authors and knowing the ins and outs of self-publishing proved to be the jumpstart I needed to complete my first book. She was always responsive with valuable information and advice on the many steps necessary to complete the publication process. If I find another book in me, I’ll be giving Gail a call to bring it out.”

“When you’ve completed your draft, and it’s time for insightful editing and precise proofreading, consider working with Gail Kerzner, The Savvy Red Pen. She is masterful at assuring clear and correct language that tells your story your way. Her background in publishing is a bonus, as her knowledge of graphics and marketing is most valuable.”

“Gail is in love with words, making sure they say what you want them to say. She edited and proofread my book, and I could not be happier. She helped me become more creative and was passionate about making me look as good as possible through my words.

I will be working with Gail again as I start my second book because she makes sure you are more than in love with your book and you’re proud to put it on the market.”

“Gail was my stellar editor and coach for my debut book. Her endless knowledge in writing, editing, and publishing helped me discover what was best for my project, and she helped me shape sentences that became more effective without changing my meaning and tone. She delivers necessary feedback with kindness and tact, providing lots of compliments that inspired me to keep moving forward to completion.

I would not hesitate to work with Gail again, as I have referred her to others who are also happily utilizing her services and gifts. She is a fantastic person as well as a top-notch professional.”

“If you’re looking for a writing coach, editor, proofreader, and project manager, Gail’s your gal.

I am grateful for her encouraging me and being patient with me when I stalled, always showing respect and love.”

“If you look up the words ‘professional’, ‘detailed’, and ‘patient’ in the dictionary, there must be a picture of Gail Kerzner for each of these words.

Once I finally settled on writing and finishing my book (This was my third proposed book, by the way!), her expertise really kicked into high gear! She was there every step of the way, and her guidance was invaluable.

I know she can do the same for you if you are writing a book. She will take great care of you!”

Bob Pacanovsky

“Gail is a top-flight editor who demands precision from her writers without being heavy-handed. She is extremely well organized and understands numerous styles. Her suggested approaches to subjects are always on target. Gail knows her stuff, whether she’s working with a business or nonprofit. And she is a pleasure to work with—always professional, always respectful.”

“Gail did the needed pre-work to grasp my story’s key messages and characters and to help me flesh them out. Thorough and careful, she was equally attentive to both content and clarity. A single word or sentence masterfully executed excited her, and an inconsistency in the storyline did not escape her. Most important, she believed in my story.

Gail’s sensitivity, enthusiasm, honesty affability, cultural awareness, and attention to detail make her outstanding at what she does. These qualities not only speak to her experience and talent but clearly come from a place of care.”
