“I had the opportunity to work with Barbie Halaby when I enlisted her services as a line editor for my memoir, The Spirits Called My Name. Her fee was reasonable, and she stayed within the timeframe that we agreed upon to review my manuscript. Whenever I needed to contact her, she swiftly replied to my questions and requests. The quality of her work was outstanding, and I was more than satisfied with her suggestions and revisions. I would recommend Barbie to anyone who is interested in retaining a highly competent editor.”

“Every writer needs a strong editor and Barbie Halaby is one of the best. The manuscript for my memoir—The Last Helicopter: Two Lives in Indochina (2020)—went to Barbie replete with spelling inconsistencies, who/whom grammatical confusions, oblique references, and other flaws. She caught every one. Barbie not only makes the easy fixes but she is quick to do research into areas of content that may be unfamiliar to her and then offers great suggestions.”

“I was under huge time pressure to whip my manuscript into the final shape for submission to the publisher. Barbie had prior commitments and yet she worked extra hard and extra long to accommodate my special request. She came through big time. The quality of her line edit didn’t suffer one bit; it was excellent.
How good was her work? The publisher required next to no effort in editing the manuscript. I was told it was in superb shape.
I heartily recommend Ms. Halaby for line edit of any document!"
