“Deb Hall was easy to work with and accommodating to the needs of my book and schedule. She gave me invaluable feedback on difficult topics to help make my book the best it could be. It is now selling well and impacting lives, and I'm so thankful for Deb's investment in this book as my editor.”

—Shelley Hitz, author coach and founder of the Christian Book Academy, speaker, best-selling author of Broken Crayons Still Color (2016), and winner of Christian Editor Connection’s 2017 Excellence in Editing Award

“Deb Hall has the rare gift of honoring writers’ voices. She consistently makes me sound like the best version of myself! Repeatedly during the editing process, as I read Deb’s notes, I’d think, 'Yes, that is what I was trying to say; only now it makes more sense!' More than an editor, Deb is an advocate for my books and the potential good they can do in the world. This too is a rare gift. To Deb, I’m not just a job; I'm an investment of her talent and time. I look forward to working with Deb on future endeavors.”

—Amy Young, author of Looming Transitions: Starting and Finishing Well in Cross-Cultural Service (2016), Love, Amy: An Accidental Memoir Told in Newsletters from China (2017), Enjoying Newsletters: How to Write Christian Communications People Want to Read (2018), Getting Started: Making the Most of Your First Year in Cross-Cultural Service (2019), and Becoming More Fruitful in Cross-Cultural Work (2022)

“We have been very fortunate to have worked with Deb on multiple projects for our ministry, and she is always thorough, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Also, for our team of writers, Deb is very gracious to offer feedback to each writer. Plus, for our ministry, her knowledge of the Bible and theology is instrumental in the editing process of each devotional.”

—Heather Frierson, founder of Created Woman Foundation

“Deb Hall was recommended to me for editing, and I thank God she was. I am a fairly new author in the genre of Christian Inspiration, and Deb has edited my first three books. I am a blue-collar guy who is not real good with computers and technology, but Deb is very patient and walked me through the whole process. She takes the time to get to know you so she can understand better how to help you. She sincerely cares about your goals and what you are trying to accomplish. I have many more books to write, and I couldn't imagine doing any of it without her. I never knew Deb before starting my project, but now I truly consider her a friend. I'm so blessed to have met her!”

—Steve Jennerich, author of The Two-Way Gift (2022)

“I am incredibly grateful for Deb Hall. She is such a pleasure to work with! She has edited two of my published manuscripts with excellence and expertise, bringing joy and confidence through the process. Deb’s assistance and communication throughout the entire editing process

provides such ease to the author. She is personable, intentional, and conscientious in her work ethic and her communication, willing to answer any question and process through details that truly matter to the writer. She excels as an editor while she also takes opportunities to teach her clients regarding the editing practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Deb and look forward to her assistance with future manuscripts.”

—Jodi Peppard-Latocki,author of Letting Go . . . : Finding Freedom in Surrender (2020) and Going Through . . . : How God Turns Tragedy into Triumph (2022)

“Deb has copyedited and proofread two of my manuscripts, which are now published books. Both times she has been highly professional and timely with great attention to detail. She is encouraging and patient throughout the entire editing process—always willing to answer any questions that arise. I greatly trust and highly value Deb’s input. It is a pleasure to work with her, and I look forward to working with her again on future projects.”

—Heidi Dalton, author of Reflections of Hope: A Devotional Journal for Those Loving Someone with Dementia (2019) and The Heart of Christmas (2022)

“I’ve had the true blessing of working with Deb Hall at The Write Insight on my own book and a large curriculum project with our church. The editing process is the most tedious and cumbersome part of a writing project, yet Deb somehow keeps it fun and lighthearted by providing a partnership with the writer. She has meticulous attention to detail and delivers correction (and suggested correction) with tremendous grace. She has the heart of a teacher and, I believe, truly desires to help one learn through the project rather than merely fixing obvious problems and oversights. In both projects, we asked for quick turnarounds. After considering our needs and requests, she provided realistic time estimates and then never missed a deadline and stayed within projected cost estimates. I highly recommend Deb Hall for copyediting, proofreading, and help with organization and flow. I look forward to working with her again on future projects.”

—Cathy McIntosh, author of Victorious: Finding Triumph When Hope Seems Lost (2016)

“I have used Deb Hall for the final editing of many projects and am very pleased with her work. She is sensitive to the heart behind the work as well as the work itself. Deb has assisted me with a book proposal, contributions to e-books, and a handbook that will be self-published. Without Deb I would not have the confidence to entertain self-publishing, but now I do. She is an exceptional editor for technical and nonfiction work. When I was looking for an editor, I was blessed to have been introduced to Deb Hall.”

—Cari Zorno, author of Tattooed by Grief: A Faith-Based Approach to Helping Youth Impacted by Loss (2017)
