"I am writing to give my highest endorsement to Clayton Jones for his work as an editor.  I had the recent pleasure of using Clayton on a book project where he demonstrated not only his exceptional editing skills but more than that, his skill at listening and understanding what the story and message was that we wanted to convey.  That was so important to us as he helped us take our stories and work and turn it into a manuscript that will be readable and hopefully helpful to many others.  Too often, an editing process can feel like the old "red pencil" of  the old high school English teacher where it is all marked up but no real helpful feedback or understanding of our point of view is there.  Clayton does not do that - he makes our words and stories better, he helps our words ensure that the meaning is there, and he listens to the purpose behind our words.  His work is truly with us and not against us.  If you are looking for an editor like that, one who will make your words and story better, you have found the right person.  Clayton does just that.  I give him my highest recommendation as an editor.  He will make your words work. "
