Jannie has been critiquing and editing for over twenty years. "At times," she said, "I'm so immersed in private writing lessons, private editing, critiquing and other related correspondence, coupled with Balliett Editorial and A1 Editorial Services, that I don't have as much time for my novels as I would like."

Her years of experience in the writing field, equips her with the knowledge to help other writers. Her personal goal is to provide a high-quality editing service to fellow writers utilizing her twenty plus years experience and sharing in the thrill and joy in their publishing success.

An editorial service is the final step of preparation to becoming published and the editorial process doesn't need be a grueling or painful experience. Balliett Editorial Services makes it a pleasant and exciting experience by working with you at your instruction. We've found that the editorial process actually stimulates the writer's creativity and have seen many writers improve their stories as they go through the editorial steps to achieve publishing.

Every writer deserves his work to be the best it can be, especially after spending long, and sometimes grueling hours, of self-sacrifice and hard effort in the writing endeavor, with all the anticipation of getting published.

The writing sacrifice is worthy of the bounty of being published in print. Whether it's poetry, short stories, novellas, or novels, we'll help polish and prepare it for submission for publishing with a personalized flair.
