We have worked on a variety of projects, and we value your feedback. Some of the comments our clients have sent us can be seen below.

Manuscript Editing

• A proofreader is someone who takes your book manuscript and goes through it, word by word, preparing it to be published. This is a big job. We manuscript-makers look to the proofreader to catch all the things we’ve missed, and that can be a lot! So we pass it to this person, hoping they will do a good job. Prestige Prose has not just done a fantastic job of proofreading, but gained my confidence, knowing that Staci and crew’s mistake-catching is a thorough, consistent, and reliable process. And—this is important—timely. So. The old slogan, “You’re in good hands,” should be altered to “Your book is in good hands,” and handed over to Staci Mauney. – Rod Butler, Author
• I do not hesitate to say that Staci is the best editor I have worked with. She not only corrects my writing with skill, attention, and care but offers so many helpful hints and explanations throughout. I feel like a more equipped writer after working with her. She approaches each book with professionalism and genuine concern over the outcome of its editing. I will certainly seek her out for all my future projects. – Brianne E. Pryor, Author
• Staci was a pleasure to work with. In addition to her editing adeptness and responsive timeliness, she has a broad knowledge of different writing styles and a keen ability to maintain consistency throughout the scope of a project. I also appreciated her insights and help on phrasing and sentence placement which resulted in greater flow and fluency in the finished product. I will use Staci for future projects and recommend her services to anyone! – Becky Duncan, Author
• The search for a strong editor stops here with Staci and Prestige Prose. I wanted a professional and invested editor who would give my manuscript the same depth of love and attention as I had for my work. Staci was all that and a bag of literary chips, sprinkled with generous servings of sincere feedback that was better than whipped cream and cherries. – Amy M. Le, Award-winning author of Snow in Vietnam and Snow in Seattle
• It’s not often a writer looks back on an editing process and calls it fun. But Staci at Prestige Prose was such an incredible person to work with.  Her attention to detail was thorough and she offered clear suggestions for improvements where needed. She met her deadlines and worked with me when I asked to move one up. And through it all I had the impression she saw herself as a humble servant of the Lord, using her knowledge and skills to help others produce the most excellent manuscript they could. – Lori Altebaumer, Author
• Prestige prose obviously put a lot of effort and focus into my requested edit. It should be the first place you contact for serious editing and proofreading. – B. Glynn
• I highly recommend Prestige Prose for editing. I wanted my first novel to be a work of excellence, and Staci was a true partner in that process. Her editing skills went above and beyond her knowledge of English and writing techniques. She offered great advice and encouragement. She was thorough and explained why she recommended certain changes. I am a better writer for the process and look forward to working with her on future projects. – Lorena H. Davis, Author
• Staci worked with me on my novel and I couldn’t be more pleased! She gave me a lot of helpful advice that has gone a long way to improving my writing.

• Highly recommend! I received an excellent manuscript! Thank you, Staci! I will also add, she gave me great ideas during editing about how to say a phrase or tell a part of my story to get across a point or give a better image to the reader. – Elizabeth Billingsley, Author
• Staci at Prestige Prose is professional, intelligent, and really good at what she does. She makes my projects her projects and takes a personal interest not only in the quality of my work, but in its success as well. I like knowing I can hand her a hunk of clay and she will hand me back a piece of art. – Kevin Hesser, Author
• Staci has been super to work with on my children’s book project. Sometimes as an illustrator/designer who writes her own stories, I really need that professional set of eyes and experience after spending long hours looking at it. Staci, through Prestige Prose, has been prompt, efficient, priced reasonably, and helpful in all regards! I have the confidence that I can release my project into the world without any errors and with a super insightful editing! I will definitely use her again! – Jime Wimmer with WimmerStudios
• Ms. Staci helped us edit my daughter’s book. I first contacted Ms. Staci in December 2017. She quickly replied to my email, gave me details of how she was going to edit, how long it would take, and many other details of what was involved. She completed her work and fulfilled every promise, and there was zero confusion. Oh my goodness, her final email with the edited book attached included a million suggestions and helpful ideas which we totally did not expect at all and was so helpful!  I recommend her services to everyone. Thank you a million times, Ms. Staci! – Sara A.
• I used Staci and Prestige Prose for the copy edits of my currently published novel. Professional and pleasant to work with, Staci’s sharp eye was spot on. It felt great to know my book was in good hands. I would definitely use her again. -Sabrina A. Fish, Fantasy and Romance Author
• I commissioned Staci Mauney for a beta reading project in 2017. She has a supreme eye for catching spelling errors, timeline issues, and inconsistencies within any story. She is extremely likable and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to contact her for another project in the future. – Elizabeth St. John, Author
• Staci is more than an editor. She’s an encourager, an excellent creative partner, and an all around wonderful person to work with. I trust her feedback 100%. – Lia O.

• I cannot imagine creating my legacy book without Staci Mauney as part of our team.What good is an intimate tale if it’s carelessly told? Staci’s keen eye and attention to each minute detail of spelling, punctuation, spacing, proper upper and lowercase letters as well as phrasing was invaluable to our collective effort. Her contribution helped my book, Along the Garden Path, be the best it could be, in every way. I trust she’ll put that same perfect proofing to this testimonial!

  We happily referred to her as our “Comma Cop.” Her eagle eye as well as her timely responsiveness helped keep “the train on the track.” Deadlines, you know, must be met.

  At the end of the day, Staci provided the confidence in and credibility for my legacy project to hand it off to the printer with the ability to say, “Job well done.”

  Thank you, Staci. – Linda L.

• I just finished working with Staci Mauney on an anthology project, and I wanted to say how impressed I am with her skills.

I recommend Staci and her editing company, Prestige Prose. She offers a wide variety of services. You won’t be disappointed. – Stephen

Grant Writing and Editing

• I contracted with Staci to write grants to fund professional development for teachers in the state of Oklahoma. Due to funding cuts and state budget shortfalls, education in Oklahoma is in crisis, and few resources exist to provide professional development for Oklahoma teachers. Staci has secured funding from local foundations for our organization to provide scholarships for teachers to receive professional development training. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication! – Linda Dzialo, Ph.D, Great Expectations President/CEO

Ad Copy

• Several people told me about Staci and her amazing and professional work with grant writing, research papers, and editing. I was hesitant to ask for her help because I had a weird request. I was running for school board and wanted Staci to help me write my newspaper and social media posts. I gave her some bullet points on what I wanted to say, and she went above and beyond my expectations. She completed the project in a timely manner and had a fair price. I highly recommend Staci. She is the best at her job, and I will continue to use her in the future. – Kristie J.
