Patricia O'Brien came highly recommended as a proofreader and editor. She not only provided clear, concise edits and revision on my manuscript, which was a complex and intricate novel, but also provided me with guidelines to improve the quality of the story structure. Patricia O'Brien edited my manuscript in a timely manner with great attention to detail. Going forward, she is the only person who I would even consider employing as an editor for any future manuscripts.

Patricia O'Brien is just what every writer needs. She is the only editor that I trust to edit my manuscripts. She covers everything from grammar, punctuation, story flow and development. She is a Professional Editor and a professional at making sure that your manuscript is polished and ready to send out to agents and publishers. She has edited three of my books and I couldn’t be happier. Patricia takes pleasure in helping writers get published and, when she is done editing your work, you will find it easier to be published. I would recommend her to all. I will be using Ms. O’Brien for all my editorial needs.

Patti was a fantastic addition to our editing team. She joined up at the last minute with very little notice, and had our entire manuscript proofread within two days. She offered individual critique for several of the authors as well, and didn't miss a grammatical mistake anywhere! Patti is a top notch editor and I'm looking forward to our future partnerships.

Patti edited my current W.I.P., a middle grade fantasy, and she did a terrific job. Her phrasing and dialogue suggestions were spot on, and her attention to detail kept me from making inconsistency mistakes. Patti also has a great feel for pacing and helped me cut out the parts that were lagging. She was thorough and professional and is very easy to work with. I give her five stars!

Patricia O'Brien is a "forest and the trees" writer: seeing the larger picture while delivering details that are whimsical, poignant, and always on point! It's that versatility as a writer that makes her an outstanding editor, able to move seamlessly between tone and topic with laser-like attention to style and voice.

Comments on my A Broad Abroad blog:
Obviously a little behind in my emails but this made catching all the more worthwhile. This introspective story is in one word, beautiful! You have written another classic--Mike Strobel

Patti, your blog is so descriptive I feel as though I was with you. Maybe it’s because as I read it I hear your voice telling me the story. Either way, I’m glad you had such an exciting long weekend. Dom.

Holy cannoli! I love this. Of course you know it sure does speak to me. But it’s your honesty that makes this so moving.

The title of your post alone made me laugh out loud. All I could think of was that old 80s song “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies where all the kid wanted was a Pepsi! Great post!
