OUR CLIENTS' BOOKS

“I’m very thankful that I discovered Jill Ronsley. I hired her in 2012 to re-design my book on sustainable food. I was so pleased with the results and the process that I returned to her for my next four books. They were all very different, with wide ranges of formats, but nothing fazed Jill. She knew everything about designing, formatting, and getting a submission through the hoops at the printer. She is quick to respond in detail and a friendly person, easy to get along with. Having had bad experiences before, I confidently affirm that you could NOT do better than engage Jill for your book enterprise.’”
Linda Riebel, Irene Dalis: Diva, Impresaria, Legend (How a Metropolitan Opera Star Created America’s Unique Opera Company) and 3 other titles

“Since I started working with Jill, I have had peace of mind with regard to the editorial, cover, interior design, ebook formatting and proofreading part of my business. I tried three editors before her, but Jill exceeded my expectations with her detailed and full-hearted approach to all tasks undertaken. Being quick to respond, open-minded, and ready to take on projects that require a fast response is what I need, and I found it all from the first moment of our co-operation with Jill.”
—Vadim Turcanu, No One’s Business: A Migrant’s Barefoot Journey to Millions and TIMS (The Intelligent Migrant Series): Tips for Personal and Professional Success (4 titles in this series)

“Thanks to Jill Ronsley for providing the final edit of Breaking Free and The Traveler, which improved the pace significantly, and for her internal book design and back cover. Jill also gave me invaluable advice during the publishing process, and is the sweetest person.”
Denis Hickey, Breaking Free and The Traveller and 4 other titles

“Working with Jill on the design and layout of my manuscript has been a joy. Her knowledge of the world of independent publishing, design and marketing has been an enormous help. Her communications are prompt, detailed and precise. It took me a few years to find her and I’m thrilled and full of gratitude to have been able to bring my manuscript to completion with her expertise.

“Everyone who sees my book, from bookstore owners to writers and readers, says how good it looks and feels even before they have read it—and I heartily agree! I would not hesitate to recommend Jill to any writer who is keen to complete their writing projects.”
Judy Norbury, Sometimes I Kiss My Feet: Wheelchair Adventures in Pakistan and India

“I cannot say enough about how blessed I was to have had Jill design my book. Not only did she do so in her polished and professional way, but she took the time to coach me through the things I needed to do on my end. I always appreciate how quickly she responded to my emails and concerns.

“Jill held my hand and my nerves through every step and made my dream of becoming and author a reality. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help during their book writing process. Jill will make it easier for you, just as she did for me. “I will forever be grateful that God led me to Jill. She is the real deal.“
Marla Lackey, Faith and a Tube of Lipstick: A Daughter’s Memoir of Hope Through Cancer, Caregiving and Grief

“There are people out there that you work with because you have to, just to simply get a project done. Jill is not that person. From the moment we first connected, her warm regard for my project left me at ease to go ahead and hand over a huge responsibility. Her thoroughness from the get-go prevented me from feeling the need to micromanage, which I absolutely hate doing. The writing world is filled with people who are waiting to take advantage of first-time authors. In fact, I lost about 8 grand to a few of those individuals. If you are a first-time author and looking to put your baby into trustworthy hands, look no further. I know I won’t look anywhere else next time!”
Mark Turnipseed, My Suicide Race: Winning Over the Trauma of Addiction, Recovery and Coming Out and A Beautiful Stream Called Life

“I want to personally thank Jill Ronsley at Sun Editing & Book Design for her commitment to detail as my manuscript evolved into a book. Her guidance and thoughtful advice has produced for me more than I could possibly have imagined. Thank you, Jill Ronsley, for working so hard on my behalf.”
Brian Nagel, Let’s Forefoot da Sonovabitch: True Stories from Southern Saskatchewan

“I have no words to describe the professionalism, passion, attitude and talent that Jill Ronsley applied in editing and designing my book. Written by a person who didn’t go to school in this country, it needed considerable editing of the grammar, punctuation and structure, and Jill helped me all the way to the end. When I was searching for an editor and ran across her website, I read that she had won an award for best book design. I was skeptical, but she made a believer out of me! My book has great eye appeal—it’s stunning! Thank you so much, Jill, for job well done. I have no hesitation recommending you.”
Joseph A. Beato, Breaking the Hold and Raking the Gold: The Struggle of an Immigrant Boy on the Road to the American Dream

“Jill Ronsley used her expert wisdom to provide valuable advice and recommendations, making the book, bookmarks and business cards she designed for HBLS better than I would have asked for.”
Heather Burles, Millionenschwere Kirchenmäuse (German and English editions)

“Thank you for helping me publish my book during this past year. It was my good fortune to find your website and employ your service. You are not only extremely competent; you are patient and thoughtful as well. So once again, Jill, let me say, ‘Thank You, for giving my book the extra input that it needed.’”
Doug McCourt, Notes from the Firehouse
