“When you’re an independent author you need to be able to compete with traditionally published books. My latest book was almost ready to launch, but I was having nagging doubts about whether there might still be typos or inconsistencies in it.

Having Arnetta proofread my book was the best decision I could make. She caught some key mistakes and gave my manuscript that final polish it needed. She is very thorough and detail-oriented, works quickly, and knows her stuff.

Now I can publish my book with confidence!”

Arnetta’s services were invaluable.
Her proofreading skills are impeccable.
There were many instances where I needed her advice and she was ALWAYS there for me.
She really went the extra mile so many times.
What started off as a work assignment blossomed into a friendship. She really cares about helping produce the best book possible.
If you have the opportunity for Arnetta to proofread your book, consider yourself lucky! I know I do.

I have already booked her services for a new project. I do recommend Line Upon Line Services to everyone!” Elvira Jorgensen, Author, “My Name Is Anna”

Hello Arnetta,
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through my book. I have seen the extensive corrections and I am impressed by the time and effort you put into the corrections. The detailing is astonishing and welcoming and it gives me comfort that what’s going out is the best. Moriamo A. Onabanjo, Author of Historical Fiction

“Arnetta is excellent.  She has an attention to detail and expertise that will make any manuscript sing. 

The perfect touch of grammatical revision without trespassing on the author’s voice.   Great to work with.”

                         Reid Bracken, Author


Arnetta at Line Upon Line Services has excellent communication skills. From the first email to the last, she kept me updated on the editorial process and questions she had about the project. She consistently replied to emails within hours.

Her editing improved my work without sacrificing my voice. Grammatical edits were clearly explained, helping to improve my overall writing skill.

Arnetta also made sure my manuscript was properly formatted, making it more compatible with current formatting software. This meant more time for me to write.

After finalizing her edits, I scheduled another date for the next book in my series. I didn’t want to take a chance that she might already be booked when I need her help.

Arnetta is lighthearted, kind, and very knowledgeable about the English language. It is a pleasure working with her.

All writers suffer bouts of insecurities and doubts about their work, this is especially true for our first book. Arnetta’s supportive, generous, and kind approach to working with authors made all the difference for me.

Arnetta’s critiques were honest, instructive, and ultimately, hugely beneficial to my book. Her meticulous and expert hand can be seen everywhere and I am far more confident about publishing my book now that she’s worked on it.

Arnetta is very professional, quick, and considering the great quality of her work, highly affordable. I would recommend working with her to any author who needs to find a proofreader.

— Briar Devero, author of Vampire Needs a Date

Arnetta is a true pro. She’s very dedicated to her job, and you can tell she proofreads with a sense of passion about giving you a truly error-free book. She also offers helpful suggestions that make some parts of the writing better overall. And she does it all quickly and affordably. I highly recommend her!

Hi everyone,
If you are looking for that 2nd pair of eyes – Arnetta absolutely rocks! She has been invaluable to me in getting my book ready to publish!

–Wendy J. Menara, author of “Silence of Shame: Growing up with a Bedridden Mother”

My memoir has been named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. It was named best memoir for 2021 and received the 1st place Royal Dragon Book Award.

Arnetta is amazing. She’s done the most thorough proofreading job I’ve ever seen!   — Jean Mansen, Editor for Wendy J. Menara’s book


“In Sept. 2015 I published a fiction novel through Createspace on Amazon. I paid for several rounds of editing at a total cost of $3,660.00.

It was only after the first copies were printed, and I sent one to Arnetta as a gift, that she made me aware that numerous errors were still present. She took her time and effort to make me a spreadsheet of the errors, so that I could detail a new digital copy.

I then had my book, “The Globe,” reviewed by Indie, and one of the reviewer’s comments was how refreshing it was to read such a cleanly edited book!

Arnetta has a natural gift for spotting mistakes in text, a great mind for spelling and grammar, and a very good mastery of the English language. She made me aware of mistakes without a digital copy to run through editing programs like they did at Createspace.

I recommend her wholeheartedly for any editing project and will certainly use her skills for my next book before it is published.

— Kate Lindley, DVM

“Arnetta is meticulous and hard-working with a keen eye for detail.

— Joanna Penn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, www.TheCreativePenn.com

 

As a first-time novelist, I appreciated Arnetta’s keen eye for detail and encouragement. I would recommend her services for any writing project.

— Greg Watson, author of It Could Happen Here

Arnetta’s work has brought out the humor and really made my story more interesting and easier to read. Her comments also made me laugh, as they pointed out silly things I had overlooked–but things that were important to the story, nevertheless. They really made my day and I liked the price also–it was very affordable; I will work with her again in the near future.

Please take the time to consider working with this amazing person!  She certainly is good at her job!

— Nina Silverrose, Author

I was planning to do a self-published book but knew I needed some professional eyes on it first before putting it out into the world. Arnetta’s name was given to me as a recommendation, and her quote was very reasonable, so I arranged to work with her, not really knowing what to expect since I’d never needed an editor before. I was very pleased with the result! Not only did she catch many more errors than I realized were hidden in there, but she also made some recommendations for wording in some areas and it really improved the overall tone of the book. She was very pleasant to work with, and if I ever do another book, I would look forward to working with her again!

Working with Arnetta on my first book has been an incredible experience. Her patience and understanding are only rivaled by her knowledge and flexibility. Her performance far exceeded my expectations in every area of the process. Arnetta is a true professional and I cannot imagine having anyone else edit and proofread my novels.

— P.W. Taylor, author of “Our Love Feasts” (referring to traditional Biblical Feasts)

Arnetta,
Once again you have taken my mistakes and errors and polished them into a finished jewel. To say thank you is at best slight, but believe me when I say my words are heartfelt. Thank you very much.

She has the ability to turn phrases and sentences into smooth, understandable text.I would recommend Arnetta to anyone who needs a very knowledgeable and accurate line editor or proofreader. I will certainly ask her to work with me again.

“I was privileged to have Arnetta as my Executive Administrative Assistant, for seven years at the Hewlett-Packard Company, during which she did an excellent job of editing, proofreading, and correcting documents, correspondence, training manuals, presentations, etc., not only for me, but for others in the division. She was considered the “go-to guru” for editing and proofreading for people across the site.

Arnetta works with the English language at the highest levels of grammar and accuracy. Her work ethic is legendary. She was consistently ranked at Level 5 (Exceptional), throughout her entire career.”
