"I've worked with many copy editors in my five years of traditional publishing with a Big Five house and as an indie author. Hands down, Bethany is the best I've had the pleasure of working with. She has a keen eye for all the little things that slip through the cracks, and her observations throughout are always helpful and informative. I am confident that I am putting out the cleanest possible version of my book after Beth has her way with my words. I cannot recommend her enough for all your editing needs."
Jay Crownover is the international and multiple New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men, Saints of Denver, The Point, Breaking Point, and Getaway series.

"Bethany Salminen not only expertly copyedited (in our preferred style guide) a collection of essays and artworks for us, but was able to advise us on standard publication protocol and procedure, which was invaluable. From captioning artworks to numbering front matter, she ensured we were following best practices. She was incredibly responsive via email throughout the process, demonstrated a high level of attention to detail, and always completed passes on (or ahead) of schedule. Having her expertise allowed us to focus on the content of the collection, and we completed the project with complete confidence that no error was left unchecked."

TSTC Publishing
"At TSTC Publishing, we utilize a large pool of freelance editors. As you can imagine, the population of this group is ever-changing as freelancers come and go ... more often going if they prove to do substandard work and/or cannot meet deadlines. At the top end of this spectrum, however, is Ms. Salminen, who has now edited several books for us, ranging from a developmental writing textbook to a pharmacy math handbook to a guide to free online tools and applications. Her skills as an editor are matched only by her dependability in meeting scheduled project milestones. Editing a book from start to finish is a complex project with many different elements, but she has always been up for the task of doing background research to double check information and citations, line editing, proofreading, and, happily for us, being aware of the more overarching editorial concerns to keep in consideration. Plus, she has proved very easy to work with, kept in constant communication during each of these projects, and was a problem solver as different roadblocks cropped up along the way. Due to the combination of her merits--editing skills, solid work ethic, and positive attitude--I feel sure that Ms. Salminen would be a valuable addition to any workplace team."
