Betsy's portfolio of editing & writing
What clients say
My editor, Betsy Blondin, challenged me to do better each time I sat down to write.
J. Oakes, author, Maximum Impact Education
You indeed were extremely instrumental in producing the quality of our book. You have always been not only creative, but also very precise, responsible and diplomatic. As I mentioned many times in the past, this was extremely appreciated by me as I am sure it was by others involved.
PBF, Medical Editor
Besides being a joy to work with, Betsy is a detail-oriented person who is able to manage several projects at a time. Her job title and responsibilities fluctuated many times and she was able to adapt easily and willingly.
