“Loie Hayes is one helluva fine word doctor. Better than any Tinsel Town plastic surgeon, on par with ER lifesavers, she knows just how to cut away those unwanted pounds, tumors, and abscesses. Loie is a trusted guardian angel who lets the writer’s voice and heartbeat come singing through.”

—Miriam Ching Louie, author, Sweatshop Warriors

“Loie was everything one could dream for in an editor. She was very sensitive to my desires for my text, but often knew better than I did how to accomplish those desires. She began working with my manuscript when it was still pretty rough, and yet she could see its strengths through the roughness. She had quite a few very creative ideas for improving what I had, and yet she was never attached to those ideas. I felt tremendously respected and supported through the whole publication process.”

—Cynthia Kaufman, author, Ideas for Action

“I know from first hand experience that Loie Hayes is a really superb editor. Having worked with numerous editors over the years, I can tell you she's first rate.”
