The Author’s Hand was a life saver! When my book just didn’t flow, Dustin took it and revamped, questioned, pointed out, and brought it together. I felt confident that it had been professionally gone over with a fine-tooth comb and necessary changes were made. It took the book to a whole new level once he read it. Everything was done the way you would expect from a professional with such in-depth experience about books and what makes them work. Dustin honored my request about keeping my voice and keeping it conversational (the style I preferred for this book). The Author’s Hand delivered exactly what they were meant to do - make the book readable!

I always wanted to write a novel. I even had the infamous ‘crappy first draft’ on my laptop. But it wasn’t good enough and I didn’t know how to improve it.

Enter Dustin and the Author’s Hand’s Mentorship program, which supported me throughout my journey from outlining to editing. With Dustin’s expert help and guidance, I was able to write, edit and self-publish my debut novel in two months! I couldn’t be happier and would recommend the Author’s Hand to any budding author out there. I learned so much and am eternally grateful.

Dustin is to the editing world what Jordan was to basketball. If I could have a line of literary shoes designed for him, I would - and they would enable him to walk on water and change water to whiskey.

The Author’s Hand read my manuscript and had it copyedited in 48 hours, then helped me get it up on Amazon within a fortnight. Watching Dustin work within the world of words and publishing was like watching Moses part the seas just to deliver a book to the other side - on a Monday. He’s smart, honest, efficient and dedicated. I have found the Gandalf the Grey of editing and it is the Author’s Hand.

I had little idea how to get my book edited and published until I went on the web and found Dustin at the Author’s Hand. He was just terrific in putting me at ease and guiding me through the editing process all the way through to publishing and showed me how to avoid pitfalls along the way. He was patient, understanding and I found his rates to be most reasonable.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is wondering how to get their book out there.

As a self-published author, you must take on all the different roles of a traditional publisher. For me, the Author’s Hand was a godsend, helping me navigate through the editing process and beyond. Professional, timely, and equipped with years of experience, Dustin’s commitment to excellence took my book to the next level.

You need an editor for your book’s quality control. With Dustin and the Author’s Hand, you’re getting that, but you are getting so much more. I’ll be using his services on all my future releases.
