Posted: January 4, 2023 by Mary Oluonye

Late last year, I was seeking an editor to help out with my cookbook. After searching for countless months, I finally reached out to Mary Oluonye in hopes that she would be able to assist me. 

Though this was Mary’s first time editing a cookbook, She has experience in editing numerous books in all genres and I knew she would be the woman for the job. Mary did tons of research on how cookbooks were written and she came up with the game plan of how we should move forward. 

During the editing process, Mary was very hands on. She made everything so seamless and easy going. When giving feedback, she always suggested edits and didn’t make me feel forced to use her suggestions. Mary also had very descriptive and detailed notes. She welcomed questions and would always clarify things if I was confused. 

Mary made me feel VERY comfortable and I felt like we were ALWAYS on the same page. She had the best ideas and really helped my book come to life. If you are looking for a great editor, I highly recommend Mary Oluonye. You won’t go wrong.

Mary has edited my writings about three or four times, and in all occasions came up super.

It was as if my writings were given a new life. A rebirth. Mary understood the concept deeper than I did and came up with just the right words. Mary’s editing does not change the original flavour. It simply adds value (spices) to it. Mary is flexible. She advises on invaluable and practical options. So far, Mary is my idol when it comes to editing.

Coming up with lots of ideas and putting them on paper seemed easy to me at first. However, it takes more than just one person to make a piece of writing stand out.

Fortunately for me, I had met Miss Mary Oluonye who not only gave me good advice to take with me on my writing journey, but also motivated me to do my best and never give up no matter what. Thanks to her, having trouble with writing my novels and poems have been a thing of a past and anyone would never regret having her as a mentor.
