Testimonials from our clients

Over the years, we have served hundreds of clients. We never ask for testimonials, but when a client says something nice, we sometimes ask permission to share it on our website. Here are a few of the “testimonials” we have collected over the years. (some have asked to keep their full names private).

Testimonials about THGM and our team

Maya – novelist

Oh wow, I am crying. It is beautiful. And I am not just saying that because it is my book and all. It flows smoothly. I am pleased. I am confident I will land a contract with that. Now I feel confident. I didn’t feel that confidence before with my manuscript. Being a writer, I know that my manuscript didn’t have the smoothness I was aiming for. Thanks so much.

Samuel DiMatteo – children’s book author

The book, ‘The High-Tech Gooseneck Putter,’ is at the publishers. Outskirts Press reviewer wrote that the story was unique and well crafted. He continued, ‘A Fun Read.’ I can’t write enough praises for Kristin Johnson, her being and writing skills. I would make a suggestion and she would put it into words, what I in visioned. Thank you, for your help in making my dream come true. I’m sure that I will be using your services in the future.

Geoff – satisfied groom from British Columbia

I am really pleased with how this speech is going and have been reviewing it with my brother. There are some very small changes I am going to make and then I will send it back to you for a final review. I’m very please with many of the subtle jokes you made.

Lena – autobiography client

Thank you so much; you are amazing…I have read some of the later chapters and am amazed. It’s great. That will give them something to talk about. There is a lot from to study there and I must get the facts right before I claim it as my book. But over the few weeks, I shall do so. It’s very late now and I cant read anymore as I am tired and overwhelmed. You are great. Thanks again. Will be in touch once I have read the whole thing again and probably with some changes. Those last few chapters are red hot.

John – satisfied author in Switzerland

Thank you so much for this fantastic work. I’m extremely impressed , not only by the top-notch quality of the writing and managing to adapt to the “voice” of the other stories but also your ability to have completed this project in such short time. I love the way you’ve managed to amend and convert these stories to such fascinating and page-turner book. Thanks also for the outstanding query letter and synopsis.

Denise Reccia – self-help author

I am very very happy with the outcome! Debra was fabulous to work with and an amazing person! I highly recommend her for future projects. She will definitely be my choice again.

Steve Rawlinson – business owner

My website has really started to grow over the past few weeks, mostly due to the press release you and Corey wrote.

Alex Babakhanov, Avateq Corp.

Thank you for the press release!

It looks good.

Thom Bourne – Conference presenter from Nutri-Lawn

The conference overall exceeding even my expectations. Great energy, great value.

Diane Stoneman, investing specialist

I was very pleased with the quality and speed of the writing you did. Many thanks, Diane

Rene – satisfied father-of-the-groom from Quebec

Well I have to thank you again and the speech was fantastic. As you can imagine the flow was great and must admit I did a pretty good job delivering our speech. I had it pretty well memorized so it did enable me to add in little events which made the audience chuckle. Both Kuno and his fiancée were very delighted and touched by the words.

I’m very happy that I decided to go with a “writer” service and very happy that you wrote the words.

Thank you again and should I need writing expertise in the future you can be assured I will be calling upon your services.

Ranae Barratt – website owner

THANK YOU DAVID !!! Exactly how I wanted it to flow…. And yes, I will change a few little words here and there, only to personalize it a little more! Thank you very much for your services…. 2nd to None! I Will gladly recommend you to anyone looking for SEO and other related services.

BILL – screenplay developer

Hey Kristen, What more can I say…You hit it on the nose of what I was thinking. Thank you. And the 36 pages…All I can say is you write what I am thinking and I’m still blown away. I’m so glad I went with you and THGM. Thank you for fulfilling my vision on my screenplay. You see what I want to be seen to others. Thanks.

Dan Hughes, safety expert

David I really like this and my writing style was not lost with your editing and assistance. It still reads like I wrote the story.

Marty – memoir writer

I opened your edited file today. Although I have not had the strength to make the changes, they are PERFECT. You have done exactly what I had hoped you would do – you made my story better. I am eager to incorporate your suggestions and send it to my publisher. Thanks so much!

Marcia Applegate – author, Now & Then: The Waiting

I feel right now as if my book is already published and you have written the first–and best–review it could have… All I can say is, thank you! for your professional editing and your wonderful words… Again, I couldn’t be more pleased with your work, and your reaction to the novel itself has given me a great deal of inspiration to continue on to publication.

Gabriel Sinki – Christian author

I can’t thank you enough for the excellent job you did. The article flows like a symphony… Of all the editors that did help me out – in my other publications – you are the best. I am very happy that I found you. and grateful for David that he recommended you. I will now submit the article for publication and if accepted I will hand you the book for your editing.

Toni – author, Alabama Blue

Debra is exactly the person/editor/lady I was looking for. She is not re-writing my book, she’s making it better. I took 98%+ of her suggestions on my first fifty pages. I am very pleased and inspired. I LOVE WHAT SHE IS DOING WITH ALABAMA BLUE.

Liudas Butkus – blog owner

The article was just amazing 🙂 probably the very best guest post that I have received.

Joshua McNeely – IKANAWTIKET

Earlier this year, your company (translator – Javier Mendonça) translated into Spanish our submission to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity on the Nagoya Protocol. The Spanish translation was well received by the Spanish speaking ambassadors, technicians, and Indigenous Peoples, especially of Latin American countries, attending the first Intergovernmental Committee on the implementation of the Protocol. In fact, some are using our submission as source material for education within their own countries.

Francois Bondiguel – online marketing specialist

Really nice work David! … Thanks for this, the article looks great!

Joan Lean – author

I am absolutely grateful and satisfied with your services. And will recommend your editing company if ever needed. It’s a first for me knowing a bit about editing, there is a lot of work that goes into it. Words can change a person’s life, they can be very powerful. Debra made my story easier to read and she has always responded to any question or concern I had.

Deborah Anderson – web promotion guru

David – what a brilliant storyteller you are! I catch myself skimming many articles, but your article here really grabbed me to read all the way through (another skill that almost seems to be lost with the pioneers). It would be helpful if marketers 1) read your article to really “get” what you are suggesting; and 2) understand the value of good old-fashioned quality writing (and storytelling). Great job!

Aaron – Best Man from California

Thanks for helping to organize my thoughts and put them on paper. … Thanks again for all your help. While I had an idea for what I wanted to express, your help in getting it structured was a big help.

Alan, Karma Kisses Tea House

We would like to say we think you did a wonderful job editing our new website. The content flows really well and reads a lot smoother and sounds more professional now.

Hire a blog writer

What sets The Happy Guy Marketing apart : We understand what engages people in social media and we deliver that kind of quality on your blog or in your guest post.

Read what our writing clients told us about our work.

Not every blog has the same goals. Some are businesses unto themselves. Others are meant to showcase expertise. Still others are meant to increase engagement. And many blogs are there to increase website traffic.

“Your goals determine how we write.”

Only the top quality blog posts

Sorry. Our writers don’t write trash. If all you care about is filling up your blog with several lines of words that are hopefully legible for $20/post, or need longer content just because some search engine algorithm says you need more words on your page, you’ll find plenty of Dollar-Store writers at Freelancer.com.

Our blog writers have written about…

Personal finance
Health
Partying
Fashion
Business
Credit and debt
Careers
Marketing
…and so many more topics

Sometimes, we write the whole blog, day after day and week after week. Sometimes, we “pinch hit”, helping the blog owner with a few specific posts. What kind of help do you need?

And only the top quality promotion

We can also help you promote your blog posts. We work to get them in front of as many eyes as possible through various social media websites. We invest a lot of time maintaining a network of friends who help us spread your message. We get your content passed around on Twitter, in front of other bloggers and in front of the search engines. We often are able to do additional promotion of certain posts, garnering additional social media attention and backlinks for your blog.

We can also arrange Infographics for your blog. These are often the best passed-around content, if they are done right.

Ask us about promoting your posts in social media.

A simple blog promotion package includes tweeting and some quality social bookmarking (please do NOT confuse this with the social bookmarking services you might read in spam emails – this is very different). A more complete campaign might include blog carnivals and other social sharing.

What about Guest posts?

If guest blogging is part of your marketing strategy, we can prepare guest posts for you, too. There is nothing wrong with a guest blogger being a ghostwriter – as long as the post is written with quality in mind. And also that the posts work well with the target blogs where they will be published. Whether it is a true guest post, a reciprocal post or a sponsored post, it is important for it to look and feel like any other post on the blog and to link (when appropriate) to authority sources. We take care of that.

Please let us know if you want us to just write your blog (or guest blog post), or if you want us to both write and promote it.

READ what our book writing clients told us about our work.
SEE some of the books we have written or edited.

Sometimes the book is in you, but you need somebody to bring it out. No problem, we can do it for you. We can put your thoughts, ideas and knowledge into a book of just about any length, written in just about any style on most topics. Or maybe the book has come out, but just needs some polishing. Our manuscript editors can help.

“Your book must captivate readers to have an impact.”

What we do for your manuscript

We start by organizing your information. Most topics can be organized in several ways, so we will work with you on that. We will write the chapter titles first, then map out your information across the chapters. Sometimes chapter titles will change after the writing. That’s OK.

There is more to writing a book than just one flowing text. For instance, if you wish, we’ll prepare your:

call-out boxes
case studies
subtitles or section titles
illustration captions
games or quizzes
whatever other elements you want to bring your topic alive

What writing requests we get the most

Here is what people are looking for when they ask us to help them put their thoughts down in words:

Looking for a freelance book writer? ASK for a FREE quote.
READ what our book writing clients told us about our work.
SEE some of the books we have written or edited.

These are some of our recent book writing projects. We don’t use real names for ghost writing to protect client confidentiality – many of our clients are sensitive about identifying the use of ghost writers for their books:

S. has written the novel of his life, an epic that draws on his observations. He wants it to entertain, educate and philosophize all at once. At well over 100,000 words, it is indeed a work of epic proportions that has evolved even as it was being written. Dedication and quality writing have helped us deliver his “baby”.
J. wants to write a fantasy novel. He has all the ideas for characters and much of the plot, and he is sure he has a best seller on his hands. But he needs help to bring some elements of the plot together, and he needs a top-notch writer to make it sound like a best-seller. One of our freelance ghost writers, who has published her own works and studied fantasy novels, has taken on this project.
W. already wrote his Christian novel, and he’s been editing for two years. It’s time to get a third party to look it over. This is actually a small project, so we’ll have W. ready to publish in no time.
R. sells his services to financial advisors. In order to open the door to sell his marketing program to insurance agents and financial advisors, he wants a book that builds his reputation and pre-sells his ideas. That’s easy; his ideas and our ghost writer service will give him exactly what he is looking for.
R. sees too much going on wrong about him and he believes the world needs a shot of justice. He wants to write a Christian-based book to deliver a wake-up call to action. He really does not know where to begin. One of our ghost writers, who has written on Christian themes and delivered related speeches is helping him organize his thoughts and write the book.
B. wants a book to sell at speaking engagements and through other venues. He has honed his message and he knows he has a receptive audience, but writing is not his strong point. No problem, we have an energetic writer who knows how to convey his sense of excitement and motivation working on his book right now.

We have real experience writing books and ebooks, as well as humor articles, how-to topics, motivational, informational and opinion subjects, and much more.

If your topic is highly technical and aimed at a highly sophisticated audience in a scientific, financial or medical area, you might be best seeking out a genre expert. Any other topic, especially a technical topic aimed at a general audience, can best be served by generalists with strong writing skills (such as us!).

The five steps to write a book:

Organize your thoughts. We can do this for you if you wish, but it is usually best for you to do it yourself.
Choose quotes, anecdotes, illustrations, historical examples, diagrams, etc. Although we can help, this is often something you will want to do yourself.
Research. Depending on your topic, there might be the need for substantial additional research. This will vary from book to book and from author to author.
Write. This is self-explanatory.
Edit – second draft. How extensive an edit you require will depend primarily on how much of the information you want included was given to the ghost writer as part of the first three points above.

Hire a best man speech writer

What sets our team of best man and maid-oof-honor speechwriters apart: We take the time to make a custom speech, not just a string of one-liners.

A custom best man speech that speaks to the heart

More people are afraid of public speaking than are afraid of dying. Fortunately, fewer people have to speak in public than have to die…and if you are one of those who has to speak in public, we can help.

With a carefully crafted speech, you can proceed to deliver it with confidence. Our writers make sure to understand your audience, your relationship to the bride and groom and to their families, your common history and the mood you want to set.

Anybody can string together one-liners. If that’s all you want, you don’t need us. But if you want to deliver a personal and memorable speech that speaks to the heart, we can craft one for you. We are not above throwing in a one-liner or two, but that is just window-dressing.

Here is what we do…

First we ask you a series of questions to get the basic information from you, what to include, what to avoid, etc.
Then we draft your speech.
Next we send you the draft to seek your feedback.
After that, we make any alterations you might need.

Praise for our speech writers

As you might imagine, our clients are never left speechless. Here are a few nice things they have to say our professional speech writers. (Read more testimonials here.)

What goes into a best man speech?

Here are some of the things that can make a remarkable best man speech:

A description of the personalities of the bride and groom (how do they handle being teased; what is important to them as far as hobbies, religion, values, etc.)
How the couple met, and any role you , the best man, had in getting them together or failing to keep them apart 🙂
Whatever other anecdotes you want to tell about a) the groom, b) the couple, c) the groom’s family, friends or other (if appropriate)
If there is any special wish you have for them
Any advice you wish to offer a) the groom, b) the bride, c) the couple, d) the world (e.g.: look out world, this couple is going to blaze an incredible trail in medicine or anthropology or music)
Anything else specific about the couple
The location, e.g. “church basement in Winchester, Ontario” or “beach house in Acapulco, Mexico”
Would you like a poem (inspiring) or a limerick (humorous)?
The tone of the speech – a bestman speech should have a fair dose of sincerity and a fair dose of humor, as well as some inspiration, but you might want to indicate if you want it to lean more one way or the other
The length of the speech in minutes
How you came to be best man, if there is even a slight story behind that
Photos or other images you would like to project on a screen, and whatever story might go along with them (this can be a BIG boost to a best man speech if you or the couple’s parents have kept “blackmail photos” since they were kids). We can prepare the bulk of the speech to accompany a slide show, or we can make it a small section of the speech, as you wish.

Many people write their own best man speeches, but others want help. Maybe you know what you want to say, but you don’t know how. That’s where our professional speech writers come in. That’s where we can help.

We don’t just do best man speeches and we don’t just do weddings. Our speechwriting experience goes deeper than that, and in fact so does our writing experience.

Top quality French translation services

Believe it or not, English is not the only language on the Internet. It is the biggest, certainly with the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, India and New Zealand all surfing primarily in English.

But your customers and website visitors might speak many other languages. Did you know that one in four people in Canada speak French as their first language? Or that most of the western hemisphere speaks Spanish, including an increasingly affluent portion of the United States? And that both of these are world languages?

“If the customer is always right, speak to her in her own language.”

What our translation service does for you

We can provide in-house translation and localization services from English to French or from French to English and localization for your website, pamphlets, letters, legal documents, marketing materials, books, articles and more. Our top freelance translator has served Federal Court judges, translating official court documents under their direction. The utmost care and precision had to be taken, for obvious reasons.

We can also arrange for quality translation into other languages, such as Spanish or German, and localization for the specific culture. And we can translate between French and Spanish, too. Best of all, we can advise on the most effective way to integrate foreign languages into your website, both for the benefit of your visitors and for the best search engine rankings in each language.

Need your French or Spanish or German text optimized (SEO) for the search engines? No problem. The same rules apply in any language. We can boost your rankings in any language that uses the same alphabet.

We translate from French to English or from English to French for $0.22 per word, up to 10,000 words of simple text. Complex topics will cost more. Beyond 10,000 words, we give a volume discount, sometimes up to 25%. Rates are similar for other languages, either through our in-house service or through our partners.

PROOFREADING: Let’s begin with the basics. We can proofread your copy for you:

correct spelling
correct grammar
correct punctuation
correct word usage (Do you know when to use “that” and when to use “which”?)

Sometimes “correct” might include slang or colloquialisms, depending on the nature of your audience and the subject of your text. We understand that and we work with you to ensure your copy says what it should the way you mean it to.

We do more than just simple proofreading. We work across your pages or documents to ensure a consistent voice and uniform word usage. For example, if some chapters of your website or book are written in academic language, you probably don’t want slang to appear out of context in other sections.

Similarly, if you use American spellings, such as “center” and “favor” in your text, you don’t want to suddenly insert Canadian or British spellings, such as “centre” or “favour”. And if you refer to running shoes in some places, sneakers in others and gym shoes in still others, you might want us to establish some consistency.

EDITING: Our manuscript editors can do all this for you, PLUS we can help bring your text to life. Adjectives and adverbs add a little extra touch, but a few well-placed action verbs, vivid nouns or powerful analogies can breathe even more life into your manuscript.

Our copy editors are in high demand

The chart below shows what services people are asking for, and as you can see, there are a lot of people just like you seeking editors to improve their copy:

Hire a fiction writer for your novel

What sets our fiction writers apart: Our writers understand how to take your plot and character and make them sound like you would write them if you had the skill and/or time to do so.

Sometimes the story is in you, but you need somebody to bring it out. The characters are there, but they need to come alive. The plot is ripe, but needs to be unfolded. That’s why we are here. We can put your thoughts and ideas into a book of just about any length, in any genre. Or maybe the book has come out, but just needs some polishing. Our fiction manuscript editors can help.

“Your book must captivate readers to touch them.”

What we do for your manuscript

We start by organizing your information. Ideally you have both plot and characters for your novel already figured out…but if not, we can help you with that, too.

These are some of our past book writing projects. We don’t use real names for ghost writing to protect client confidentiality – many of our clients are sensitive about identifying the use of ghost writers for their books:

G. has been working on a romance novel. She made quite a bit of progress, but got bogged down and realized that she needed help to add in sections and to gvie more structure to what she had already written. Not only did we help her bring her first novel in for a landing, but we have begun to help her scope out her second novel, too.
P. is also back for his second novel. His first work of fiction was a modern thriller, with true-to-life characters and a chilling plot. The next book promises to be just as captivating.
J. wants to write a fantasy novel. He has all the ideas for characters and much of the plot, and he is sure he has a best seller on his hands. But he needs help to bring some elements of the plot together, and he needs a top-notch writer to make it sound like a best-seller. One of our freelance ghost writers, who has published her own works and studied fantasy novels, has taken on this project.
W. already wrote his Christian novel, and he’s been editing for two years. It’s time to get a third party to look it over. This is actually a small project, so we’ll have W. ready to publish in no time.

We have real experience writing books of all genres, fiction and non-fiction.

There is nothing that says “amateur” like misspellings, poor grammar or disconnects in a text. A publisher, literary agent or book reviewer will ignore your manuscript if the writing is under par, even if your content is phenomenal. Fortunately, it is so easy to head off instant failure before it happens by hiring a professional manuscript editor or proofreader for your book.

“Make sure your words get your manuscript read.”

What our manuscript proofreaders and editors do for you

PROOFREADING: Let’s begin with the basics. We can proofread your manuscript for you:

correct spelling
correct grammar and syntax
correct punctuation and capitalization
correct word usage (Do you know when to use “that” and when to use “which”?)

Of course “correct” might include slang or colloquialisms, depending on the nature of your audience and the subject of your book.

We go beyond simple proofreading. We also ensure consistency. For example, if some chapters of your book are written in very formal language, you probably don’t want other chapters written more colloquially.

Similarly, if you use USA spellings, such as “center” and “honor” in your manuscript, you don’t want to suddenly insert UK or Canadian spellings, such as “centre” or “honour”. And if you refer to a car in some places, an automobile in others and an auto in still others, you might prefer to have some consistency.

EDITING: Our manuscript editors can do all this, PLUS we can add vigor to your text. Some adjectives and adverbs add a little bit extra life, but a few well-placed action verbs or powerful analogies can breathe much more life into your manuscript.

Hire a memoir writer or editor

What sets The Happy Guy Marketing apart : Before writing, we take time to listen not just to your story, but to your voice.

To hire a memoir or biography writer, fill in the form.
Read what our book writing clients told us about our work.
See some of the books we have written or edited.

Your story is very personal, whether it is your autobiography or the biography of someone you care deeply about. We understand this. We will help you release your story and bring it to life in your memoirs.

“Your story must captivate readers to have an impact.”

What we do for your manuscript

There is more to a biography than just a chronology of events. For instance, we’ll include:

how you felt
how other people reacted
what inspired you
your dreams
your challenges
your triumphs
whatever other elements you want to bring your biography alive

We have real experience writing memoirs and historical biographies. Here are a few samples of memoirs and biographies we have written for clients.

An all-inclusive biography of an African revolutionary who fought for his people, commissioned by his family.
A biography of a person with fairly unique psychological conditions. Her memoir launched a speaking career across the UK.
A memoir of someone who had done it all – drugs, violence, crime – recounting how he felt throughout his lowlife periods and how he overcame the odds and escaped his surroundings.
The biography of a family patriarch, so that his countless grandchildren would remember him and know the strength of their roots.
A survivor of severe sexual abuse as a child, recounts how it affected her and kept her from leading a productive and fulfilling life as an adult.
A Major League Baseball player.
A newcomer to Amercia writes his autobiography of how he came to America with only the shirt on his back, worked hard, invested wisely, took some risks, and made it reasonably big. The American Dream.

As you can see in this chart, biographies are a very popular genre these days:

There are five parts to writing a manuscript:

Organizing your ideas. Our book writers can do this for you, but it is usually best for you to do it yourself – especially since you know your story best.
Choosing anecdotes, quotes, etc.
Research. Depending on your topic, there might be the need for research, although not so much with a personal memoir. This will vary from book to book and from author to author.
Writing. This is self-explanatory.
Editing – second draft. How extensive this phase is depends primarily on how much of the information you want included was given to the book writer as part of the first three points above.

Marty – memoir writer

Lena – autobiography client

Thank you so much; you are amazing…I have read some of the later chapters and am amazed. It’s great. That will give them something to talk about. There is a lot from to study there and I must get the facts right before I claim it as my book. But over the few weeks, I shall do so. It’s very late now and I can’t read anymore as I am tired and overwhelmed. You are great. Thanks again. Will be in touch once I have read the whole thing again and probably with some changes. Those last few chapters are red hot.
