About Us
"Robin was my first editor for my manuscript, Through the
Eyes of Christ: Stories of the Resurrection. This was an online venture.
She was quick with her response and had to work with a lot of misspelled words,
punctuation, several misconstructed sentences, etc. She exhibited a lot of
patience and encouragement. I have appreciated her expertise."
-- Amy McCutcheon, author
Ever listen to a beautiful song and find your pleasure interrupted by a note out of tune? Just as every note and every beat counts in music, every word and every punctuation mark (or lack of one) counts in writing. Robin Layne can help your article, short story, novel, or non-fiction book sing.
As an award-winning writer of both fiction and non-fiction, a published poet, a songwriter, and an avid, careful reader, Robin Layne knows and cares about good writing. She knows how to keep it brief and clear for beauty and understandability.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. As an introductory special to new customers, we offer a free sample edit of one page, so that you can see how we work and we can see how we can better serve your needs and estimate the cost. After we have committed to working together, we charge $24 an hour for most services.
Robin Layne Enterprises is a business with a conscience. We embrace uplifting writings and reserve the right to refuse to help with material we find offensive.
