Testimonials: 
Colette did a superb job of Content Editing on my short story, Hot Danger in Paradise. I don't have a beta reader right now so this service was invaluable to me. It's so important to have someone else look at a manuscript! Her suggestions were right on the money and she got back with me promptly. Her critique was to-the-point, yet gentle. I highly recommend ABG Reads and Colette to anyone who needs another pair of eyes to go over their work.
~Naomi Bellina

Colette does a fantastic job, works very hard to fill the blog tour, follows up with each blogger, and makes recommendations on appropriate guest post topics .... She really KNOWS her stuff!  She makes my job so much easier because I know that she's paying attention, tweeting, and following up! That's huge for me.
