Here’s what some authors have to say about her work:
“Tiffany was a lifesaver: thorough, precise, and meticulous. She was exactly what my much-altered, much-muddled manuscript needed. And her insights gave me a couple of sleepless nights—because they were so spot-on—and my book was all the better for them.”—Sherry Thomas, His at Night, 2011 RITA Award winner, Best Historical Romance
“Given Oblivion’s Altar’s idiosyncratic complexities, I was totally amazed by what came back after Tiffany’s work. Not only was my manuscript edited and corrected, in many cases, Tiffany had even re-researched for the accuracy of Cherokee spelling and grammar. . . . Not only did my work flow better after Tiffany’s edit, I also knew that it was right. . . . Oblivion’s Altar went on to win one award for historical fiction, and was even a finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award (which is a miracle for any Texas writer). Tiffany Yates had a lot to do with the book’s critical and commercial success.”—David Marion Wilkinson, Oblivion’s Altar
“The unsung heroes in bringing A Sniper’s Journey to the bookshelves are NAL associate managing editor Sally Franklin and copy editor Tiffany Yates, who has a really annoying eye for inconsistencies, echoed words and substandard English. But we really do thank her for making our book more readable.”—Michael Hirsh (with Gary D. Mitchell), A Sniper’s Journey: The Truth about the Man Behind the Rifle
“Tiffany Yates was an eagle-eyed line editor.”—Jennifer Weiner, Goodnight Nobody
“Thank you, Tiffany Yates, for an outstanding job of copyediting.”—Charles Smithdeal, Dead Ringer
“Many thanks . . . to Tiffany Yates, for her expert copyediting.”—Michael Prescott, In Dark Places
“Tiffany helped me rewrite my young adult novel, Text of Kin, from a first draft to a tight, ready-to-submit manuscript. She gave me feedback on each chapter, and overall plot structure, allowing me to correct for lulls in tension, character actions that read as inorganic, and believability issues. But she didn’t just point out weaknesses in the writing—she gave me enough detail on why something didn’t work for her, and thoughts on how to make improvements, that rewriting and bringing the entire novel up a notch was not only doable but fun.”—Amber Novak, quarterfinalist in Amazon’s 2010 Breakthrough Novel contest
“Thanks to Tiffany Yates for her excellent copyediting.”—Susan Crain Bakos, Make Over Your Sex Life . . . Tonight!: Hot, Fast, Erotic Fixes . . . And Sensuous Stories to Get Things Started
