Christy is one of the finest editors I have ever worked with in more than thirty years in the publishing business. She is precise, attuned to the details as well as to the big picture, a joy to work with, delivers on time or earlier, follows directions well, and exceeds expectations.
Christy has become my go-to editor and proofreader. She catches the little things as well as the big, and is a stickler for detail in both mechanics and substantive issues. She wrangles my commas. I appreciate her work ethic, timeliness, and courage to tell me what can be improved.
Christy did an awesome job on my book. She was always kind, listening to what I had to say, and very easy to work with. She pointed out things I was not aware of, or may have overlooked, in a gentle way. I highly recommend her services.
Finding an editor is not an easy task. This was my first book and my first experience working with an editor. You have to find someone who will take your sweat and tears (aka your manuscript) and help you morph it into its best self. And honestly, you think it is pretty good when you deliver it. Christy is an editorial genius. She is fast, efficient, and professional. She not only cleaned up my work dramatically but also took the time to understand the material and provide guidance on what will make the material stronge. This is the true brilliance of a great editor. I absolutely enjoyed working with her and am looking forward to the next opportunity to do so. Thank you, Christy!
Christy Distler has the extraordinary ability to make a book tight and concise, yet be respectful of maintaining the author’s unique voice. Not only does she read a manuscript, but she asks great questions regarding events in your work that need to be addressed or require resolution. Along with her expertise in grammar and punctuation, she exemplifies the complete editing package to take authors to the next level. Avodah Editorial Services is a valuable resource that our organization will continue to retain and draw from.
Christy Distler’s editorial prowess goes above and beyond excellence. I cannot speak more highly of Christy. Her attention to detail, strong communication skills, and amazing follow-through were completed with the highest of quality. I interviewed over a dozen editors, and it was hands down Christy. She was fast, responsive, and is really an amazing editor! The layout group I worked with also spoke highly of her ability—they never once had to ask her to correct anything. What stood out is that while editing my book, she maintained the spirit of my writing and who I am as an author. She is creative and easy to work with. I will be using her again.
