Carolyn Frank, author of Western historical romance and teen speculative fiction
"Tristi is excellent and efficient. Her prices are reasonable, and I'd definitely let her tackle any of my future books! I've always felt safe and cared for in her hands." Ann Hunter, author of Zoo
"Tristi Pinkston knows how to bring out the best with those writers she works with. She makes good writers great and great writers even better. Don’t ever pass up a chance to have Tristi review your manuscript or other writing project." Abel Keogh, author of Room for Two and The Third
"Over the past several years, Tristi Pinkston has provided editing services for my political thriller novels. On one occasion, I asked her to trim twenty thousand words from a 130K word manuscript. That is not easy for a writer to do, given the propriatory posture we take toward our work. The final product was not only shorter, but more concise, more readable, and had been accomplished without losing a single thread of plotline. She has a deft touch and a remarkable knowledge of what the writer is trying to say, maintaining that voice throughout her edit. I recommend her highly and will utilize her services on every occasion they are needed." - Gordon Ryan, author of the Spirit of Union and American Voices trilogies
"More than just an editor, Tristi has served as mentor and friend in guiding me through rewrites on several of my manuscripts. I attribute a good deal of the confidence I have gleaned to pursue my passion for writing to her, and I appreciate her contagious optimism and sage advice. I highly recommend Tristi Pinkston as an excellent guide and editor for both the experienced and novice author." –Lori Nawyn, author of My Gift to You
"Although new to the publishing industry myself, I have seen many discussions on Internet forums, blogs, etc. about what makes a good editor. The very best editors in the industry have a good grasp on grammar, sentence structure, word choice, and punctuation, but they do so much more that that. They assist with story arcs, plot flow, characterization, dialogue, and fact checking. The very best of them can do all of this while still allowing the author's voice to remain. In short, they help an author to make their story really shine. Tristi Pinkston is such an editor. I give her my highest recommendation for her skills as both an editor and a publishing industry professional." - Daron D. Fraley, author of The Chronicles of Gan
"Tristi has been an incredible editing resource for me and my company. I love her mix of professionalism and humor. I have often found myself laughing though her edits as she has discovered the grammatical twist that I have overlooked." - Karen Eddington, author of The Landmark List and others, President of a Self-Worth Outreach Company
"Tristi Pinkston is one of the best editors with whom I've had the opportunity to work. I was amazed at the things she caught - puns, clarity problems, story-line issues, and grammatical errors. Not only does she know the English language well, but she's a pleasure to work with and isn't demeaning. Regardless of your writing style and genre, she'll be a huge help." - Andrea Pearson, author of The Key of Kileyna
"Tristi is as knowledgable in the details of editing and proofing manuscripts as she is kind in her delivery of what might ail your writing. The only time I ignored her advice, my editor at the publishing house later gave me the exact same feedback. Anything Tristi edits is better for her attention than it would be otherwise." - Josi S. Kilpack, author of The Sadie Hoffmiller Series
"Tristi Pinkston is already established as an excellent author. She is also outstanding as an editor. Tristi’s editing skills are sharp, and her comments regarding areas of weakness are concrete enough to help make your manuscript better. She is also adept at pointing out your strengths in writing, which helps in repairing a writer’s delicate psyche. Tristi edited one of my three published books, and I wish she had edited all three of them. She is an excellent editor who has helped me improve my craft. I highly recommend her editing services." - Terri Ferran, author of Finding Faith, Having Hope, and others
"I prefer the way Tristi edits over all other editing experiences I’ve had as an author so far. She edited my book A Future Tomorrow and knew the importance of its urgency and sacrificed her time to complete a speedy, yet thorough, edit to help me meet my deadline. In addition to this, there were two editing styles I enjoyed. One being that she would add a comment about why the correction needed to be a certain way, so not only did she edit the manuscript, but taught along the way. The second addition I appreciated was that she would leave positive feedback, which is always nice to hear as a writer." - Haley Hatch Freeman, author of A Future for Tomorrow
"Tristi is an astute and observant editor with a keen proofreading eye. She worked with me on Refining Fire, and I was pleased with her results. I highly recommend her services!" - Linda Adams, author of Refining Fire and Prodigal Journey
