Kind words about Joyce and Structure & Style Editing

“Joyce has a keen eye for detail and provides thoughtful edits and comments while always keeping the author’s voice and vision intact. I can depend on her to tackle any editing job with consistent excellence and an amiable attitude.”

—Claire Chun, Editorial Manager
Ulysses Press

“Joyce is a fantastic copyeditor and proofreader. She's reliable, responsive, and judicious in her editing, thoughtful in her questions, and eminently skillful and wise in her author management. She executes all she's asked to do with precision, skill, and good cheer. I recommend her heartily!”

—Vicraj Gill, Preproduction Manager

“It was a pleasure to work with Joyce and my book is undoubtedly stronger for it. She is precise and detail-oriented, while maintaining a playful and light-hearted touch. As a first-time author, it was scary to turn over my work to someone else, as it felt like I might need to compromise my vision or style. I quickly felt confident in Joyce's feedback—she helped me to shape my manuscript into something that felt closer, not further from my vision, all while preserving my voice and style. I'm deeply grateful for her impact on my book and would recommend her without hesitation.“

“Joyce Wu was the copyeditor selected by New Harbinger Publications to help complete the final phase of my book, Thrive Socially with Adult ADHD. I didn’t know what to expect, but I definitely walked away feeling like I struck gold! I could not have asked for a better experience!

Joyce was consistently responsive, supportive, and encouraging. Whenever I had questions, needed changes, or wanted feedback, she was there—quick, available, and fully present. 

Throughout the process, Joyce remained open and curious, embracing the collaborative nature of editing. She asked thoughtful questions to understand my intentions and helped shape complex ideas into something clear, digestible, and meaningful for my readers. Her precision and insight made the writing stronger, sharper, and more accessible—without ever losing the heart behind it.

One of the things I appreciated most was how she embraced my naturally playful, humorous writing style. She didn’t try to reshape my voice into something more conventional or academic. Instead, she elevated it with skill and care—always holding space for both the author and the reader.

I absolutely loved working with her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Whoever gets to work with Joyce will be in exceptional hands!”
