"Joan Saunders vastly exceeded every last expectation
​that I had prior to my search for one good editor."

"I've worked with scores of proofreaders and copy editors, 
and Joan is the crème de la crème."

You're searching for an editor or a proofreader. Maybe you need a copy editor, aka line editor, maybe you need a deeper edit and so are looking for a substantive editor, aka developmental editor.

         Do you want an editor who edits full time or only on weekends? Saunders Editorial Services has been in business since 2001, and its founder and still owner, Joan D. Saunders, has been a full-time editor since 1994.

         Do you want an editor who is easily accessible? At SES, Joan is the one you talk with on the phone, Joan is the one who responds to your emails —  usually on the same day.  

​​​"It soon became apparent that Joan
  cared about the final outcome 
​as much as I did."
