"Editor Mike tightened up my memoir quite a bit. After the first sentence he edited -- he helped my voice flow without rambling or repeating myself--which I tend to do a lot. Without changing my thoughts, he helped me tell my coming of age story and added the finishing touches for publishers to read."
- Jonathan Cain. Songwriter / Keyboardist for the world-famous rock band Journey |
"Mike is my hero - he took my 'pretty good' writing and artfully elevated it to an easily publishable quality. He quickly developed what I can only describe as a kind of rapport with my writing style that allowed his edits to seamlessly fold into my work."

"I really enjoyed working with editor Mike Valentino on my book, “Emotional Core Therapy.” I would not have been able to write the book at all if it were not for the expertise and integrity of Mr. Valentino. In my opinion, Mike is a master at making characters come alive. He breathed life into my book. Moreover, Mike has a good deal of persistence... he never wavered in his commitment to help me. It is without hesitation, that I highly recommend Mike Valentino to other aspiring writers."

"Mike Valentino's editing work was superb. I sent him a very rough book manuscript. He delivered a fully edited manuscript on time and on budget--not only correcting errors but suggesting copy changes that made a huge difference. He was easy to work with and I would hasten to recommend his excellent services to anyone in need of speed, accuracy and a fair price."

"Mike was always prompt in responding to any questions and concerns I had and he treated me like a partner throughout the entire process. In the end, he created a wonderful manuscript. I highly recommend Mike and all of the services he provides."
