"To say that I have been pleased with the service provided by integrative ink would be a gross understatement. I engaged integrative ink to provide a comprehensive plot and story review, a detailed structural edit, and a final proof of my manuscript. Stephanee Killen did an excellent job in each facet of the work and identified several areas for improvement, which I worked on to heighten the suspension or to be more descriptive through action. I have also been particularly impressed with Ms. Killen's level of professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process.

My novel, The Copper Trader, recently won the Best Commercial Fiction Award by Writers Notes magazine in their 2005 book contest, and it has also received a Notable Award for genre fiction from Writer's Digest in their 12th annual International Self-Published Book Awards. In addition, it has been selected as an Editor's Choice book by publisher iUniverse. As a first time novelist, I have no doubts that my work would not have been polished enough to win these awards without the help of Ms. Killen." —Bill Abler

"As a first time author, I had no idea what to expect with the process of getting published. I was fortunate to have been recommended to integrative ink, and working with Stephanee has been nothing less than fantastic! She is incredibly professional, and her prompt responses and turnaround time for my edits were wonderful. She took the time to answer many of my questions, and her patience with me, as a "new" author, was very comforting. I can't say enough about the pleasant experience I had working with her. I would highly recommend integrative ink!" —Charles Noland

"This work is a dream that I had come true. As a totally "naive" author, I had the good fortune to pick integrative ink blind from a list of editors. Ms. Killen worked with me as courteously and efficiently as if I were John Grisham and helped me accomplish my goal. I could not believe the high degree of her professionalism but also the fairness of her fees and promptness of her services." —Cornell Fitch

"The first thing I noticed about Stephanee Killen is that she genuinely cared about my work. This defined my entire experience with integrative ink, and I found Stephanee to be professional, thorough, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable in all facets of the editing and book publishing process. As a first time writer, I also felt that she became a trusted mentor. I look forward to working with her again on my second novel." —Joseph Vitucci

"My experience with integrative ink was absolutely wonderful. They are courteous, they are prompt, and they are professional. Not only did they read and correct obvious errors in the manuscript, but they also checked it for internal consistency. So, for instance, in one place, I referred to the heroine having one sister, and much later in the ms., I referred to sisters, plural, implying more sisters. They picked this up, and I had a chance to correct the error. This is just one of several such internal consistency errors I was able to correct prior to going to the printer. They have sharp eyes. Their work is very good." —Riwen Forester

"I was very fortunate to find integrative ink and Ms. Stephanee Killen to assist in the development of my first fiction novel, The Jaded Parsonage. I have read many books on how to write fiction, but I learned more from Ms. Killen's editing and gentle coaching than from all the books combined. She did a masterful job in pointing out the manuscript's shortcomings and guiding me in developing the characters and storyline. Her computer program made revisions easy. I was very pleased with her masterful techniques of editing without making me feel totally incompetent or changing the story. I hope to use Ms. Killen to assist in editing the current novel I am writing." —Richard Caines

"The reason I chose her [Stephanee Killen] was for her professionalism . . . . Out of every editor I solicited, she was the only one who kept my voice alive. Any cuts or additions she made, she did with respect for me and the story.

"If you are looking for an editor that listens and understands importance, Stephanee is right for you." —Jarrod Spicer

"Stephanee is more than an editor, she is also a motivator and a coach. She followed every expression and labyrinth of thought that was woven into my novel. Due to her commitment and devotion to work, she is always quick to notice and point out errors or discrepancies. She is a lady who goes by her deadlines. Her corrections are always very precise, comprehensive, and crafted in the best possible way.

"Stephanee is indeed an example of someone who loves her work. She is always guiding and encouraging budding authors and, over and above all, she is very humble both in speech and in her professional interaction. She is an example of what a professional editor should be." —Paschal Igwe

"Stephanee Killen has edited two of my books, both of which are published. Not only is she a great editor, but she has the ability to get into a writer's head and understand all of the twists and turns of novel writing. It's as if she can read your mind and turn your novel into a work of art that attracts publishers." —Ewell Greeson

"integrative ink did a professional job of editing my work. The service was timely and reasonably priced. I particularly appreciated the flexibility to order the level of editing I needed." —Rob Oberst

"Stephanee Killen was easy to work with, accurate, excellent with editing, good with providing necessary advice to a new author, and great with formatting. Overall, a real pleasure." —Dianne Greyerbiehl

"We contacted integrative ink to edit our fast-paced, satirical novel, False Prophets, Tramps & Thieves. We found Stephanee to be professional, conscientious, and meticulous as an editor. Her suggestions and input were extremely helpful. We'd highly recommend her services to those just starting out as well as to the seasoned professional. Thank you, Stephanee, for a job well done!"

"Stephanee Killen delivers what she promises, and on time! I was blessed to find her to edit my first book. It was still warm from her hands when Cedar Fort Publishing accepted it for one of their 2002 books! Perhaps I lead a charmed life to be directed to Stephanee and Cedar Fort. Stephanee cradled my thoughts in words with loving care and guided them into publishing shape. For her kindness and professionalism, I am grateful." —Suzanne Salas

"The really nice thing about integrative ink is that you can choose the degree (level) of editing that you wish to have done on your manuscript. For example, I wanted my manuscript checked only for spelling errors and logical consistency. A price was quoted and Ms. Killen did exactly what was needed at the price quoted. What is more, you will be told exactly in what time frame your manuscript will be edited and available to you—and it will be done!

"I can't recommend the editing services of integrative ink highly enough before you send your manuscript to the publisher." —John P. Walter, Ph.D.

"First time authors can sometimes harbor concerns and insecurities about their work, and I was no stranger to this phenomenon when I located and contacted Stephanee Killen about editing my book through her integrative ink website.

"I soon discovered that a personable manner, skill, dedication to the craft, and professionalism is what Stephanee had to offer. She answered all of my initial questions and addressed my concerns very directly. Her reassurance that most first-time writers have these feelings of insecurity about their work put me completely at ease. Stephanee provided me with a sample edit of my work, an estimate of costs, a specific start date for editing the book, and an approximate time frame in which she would finish her work. Her professionalism was reflected in that she started editing my book on the day she promised and finished her work well within established time parameters.

"My experience with Stephanee has been positive, productive, and very satisfactory. Her suggestions and work clearly improved my writing. While it may sound cliché, Ms. Killen is clearly a writer's writer, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephanee to anyone looking for writing and editing expertise to improve his or her writing."
