"If you are after a professional editor with extremely high standards, look no further than Juliette ...."

From our first informal meeting at a social event, Juliette was generous with her knowledge while being completely respectful of my desire to pursue traditional publishing.

When the opportunity arose to independently publish my debut book, Himalayan Dreams: The Story of Som Tamang, Juliette was a natural choice. She had attended my author talk and was already invested in me, my journey, and the work of Som Tamang, my biography subject.

Publishing can be an overwhelming process. There is so much behind getting your creative work into a finished book. Juliette made the journey extremely smooth, explaining everything along the way and taking care of all the back end work so I could focus on the final edits. She provided incredible moral support and at times was more excited about my book than I was. Her promotion of the book through social channels has been a wonderful bonus.

If you are after a professional editor with extremely high standards who will help your book reach its full potential and audience, look no further than Juliette at The Erudite Pen. I cannot thank her enough.

Kirsty Nancarrow, Author of Himalayan Dreams: The Story of Som Tamang

"Her professionalism, passion and dedication to detail are second to none..."

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Juliette on my first novel. Her professionalism, passion and dedication to detail is second to none. Juliette’s structural ideas, assistance with character development, and other editorial input were insightful, timely and invaluable. Her support, encouragement and seemingly endless patience guided me to an end product that I am extremely proud of. I highly recommend Juliette to any author, at whatever stage of their career.

Experienced, supportive, honest, amazing editor and publisher. Working with Juliette has been absolutely amazing. I had no idea even where to get started; however, Juliette's professional and friendly manner has made the process so much easier. Without her encouragement I would not have been able to achieve the book's success. I would recommend her services to every first-time author.

"She's worth her weight in gold. I could not recommend anyone more highly..."

Working with Juliette was a dream come true! All the knowledge and guidance she gave along the way are something I will now have with me for life. She's worth her weight in gold. I felt like I was working with a close friend, one that has a great sense of humour but is also so professional with every task she executes.

She was so fast to reply with any query, no matter how big or small. She invested so much more time than was expected of her into my book; I was truly amazed at everything she put into it, not just the work but also her excitement, encouragement and pride. Creating something we’re both truly proud of. I could not recommend anyone more highly. I've made my dream of becoming an author come true with Juliette’s help but also made an amazing friend along the way.

Juliette has gone absolutely above and beyond, not only has she professionally edited and published my first two books but she has helped me become a successful author. Book two in my series became No.1 hot new release on the day it was released, and its all thanks to Juliette's hard work. If your looking for someone who will put just as much effort and passion into your work as you do, Juliette is your woman.

She helped me to understand many things about myself through her thorough assessment of my manuscript. After meeting her I realized that she is a very honest person and somebody I now cherish as a friend. I was also surprised to find that Juliette’s professional fees were very reasonable.

Juliette’s patient explanation of all processes of editing and publishing were very much appreciated. She is always prompt in replies and manages to keep on top of the latest trends.

I cannot recommend Juliette highly enough. Her knowledge, support, attention to detail and patience in answering many questions was invaluable.

"I knew she had the skills and expertise to help me realise my publishing dream ..."

I had written my first book Mobile Midwives: Transforming Birth Options, but I felt lost and in need of professional help with editing and publishing.  Searching on-line I found ‘The Erudite Pen’ an editing and publishing consultancy run by Dr Juliette Lachemeier. I was excited to find that she is in Australia at Palm Cove, close to my home.   

The Erudite Pen website clearly describes the services Juliette provides, and at our first meeting she greeted me warmly.  She was extremely professional and gave me a clear vision from the outset with a strategic plan and upfront costs. At the end of that meeting, I knew that she had the skills and expertise to help me realise the dream of publishing my book.  I felt I could trust her to help me take my book to a quality, more-polished version!

Juliette guided me through each step in a kind, patient and friendly manner, and provided me with deeper understanding of the processes involved. I owe the completion and publishing of my book Mobile Midwives: Transforming Birth Options in no small measure to The Erudite Pen.   Juliette provides a highly credible and affordable service. With her assistance you will see your work develop into a superior publication that will give both the author and readers great satisfaction.

"Juliette is a consummate professional from the very contact through to publication ..."

It has been my absolute pleasure to work with Dr Juliette Lachemeier from the Erudite Pen for most of this year as  my raw manuscript was transformed into a polished, marketable novel.

Juliette was a consummate professional from the very first contact through to the publication of my fiction novel The Blood Tree, book one in my supernatural Greater Good Trilogy. I could never have achieved my lifelong goal to produce a novel without her knowledge, expertise and guidance throughout this journey.

I would have no hesitation to recommend Dr Juliette Lachemeier from the Erudite Pen for any editing work or publishing dreams to come to fruition, where it will be produced to an amazingly high standard. Thank you, Juliette.

Lyndell Casella, Author of The Blood Tree, Book One in The Greater Good Trilogy

"Her editing was first-rate as well as her service..."

I worked with Juliette when editing and publishing my book The Man with a Spare Room in His Head. It was one of my better decisions. Her editing was first-rate as was her service. I was so pleased that I have given her my next book to work on, Boom!

I was particularly impressed with her continued support after the editing and publishing and into the sales and marketing, the jingles, the social media content and the book trailers. All this high-quality content I didn’t expect just kept on turning up. Every time I went to post a promotion on FB, I found that Juliette had already thought of it and had often done it!

Honestly, she goes those extra few miles for her authors. Well, a few hundred miles would be more accurate! 

D.S. Hodges, Author of The Man With a Spare Room in His Head

Dr Juliette’s editing and publishing skills are of the very highest quality. As first-time authors, it was important for my co-author and me to engage the services of a professional that we could trust.

Dr Juliette not only provided exceptional editing and publishing throughout the process but through her professional network, she was able to connect us with an exceptional website designer and social media coach.

My co-author and I highly recommend the services of the team@ The Erudite Pen to anyone looking to engage professionals who go over and above to achieve great outcomes for their clients.

"Working with Juliette has been transformative..."

I had been talking about writing my first book for so long that when I actually completed it I thought the job was done. I then realised that I had no idea about how publish, market and promote my book. I don’t know whether it was fate or just good luck that led me to 'The Erudite Pen', but working with Juliette Lachemeier has been transformative. 

The premise and content of the story did not change but good editing has improved the readability and clarity of my book to a whole new level. Juliette’s knowledge of Indie publishing and of the industry in general has made all the difference in my journey to becoming an author. I would wholeheartedly recommend Juliette as a mentor to anyone trying to climb the writing and publishing ladder.

Peter Griffiths, Author of We Are Life.

"I give Juliette my warmest recommendations... "

When I first heard about Juliette I tapped into her energy to feel if she was somebody that resonated with my energy, my work. I felt she really was. Dr Juliette Lachemeier has a nice, warm energy and it is mirrored in her line of work. She enhances my words and my sentences with her warm yet firm and professional editing. Furthermore she is solid as a rock through the whole process. I give Juliette my warmest recommendations and I am really looking forward to work with her soon again.

"She really knows her stuff!... "

Juliette was an absolute delight to work with. She really knows her stuff! Being a debut author, I found the whole editing and publishing process quite daunting. She was a guide at my side and gave me practical advice and recommendations for my manuscript. She also led me through the indie publishing process. I plan to publish another 8 books in my series and will certainly be asking Juliette to edit and assist with publishing on all of these. Thank you so much Juliette for helping make one of my greatest dreams come true!

Esther Daniell, Author of the Secret Cat Business series.

"Juliette is thorough and informative..."

Going in as a first-time author I knew nothing of the editing process. Juliette walked me through it all in a very clear and professional manner and kept me feeling confident in her abilities throughout. She pushed me to elevate my narrative just that little bit here and there, which made all the difference in making the final product the best it could be. Juliette is thorough and informative, and doesn’t simply highlight and change things—she takes the time to explain why. I can't thank or recommend Juliette enough.

Dean P.R. Buswell, Author of The Order of Elysium series.

"A consummate and comprehensive editor..."

I run The Book Reality Experience, a publishing assistance service for writers who want to be independent authors. To facilitate that, I need professional designers, artists and of course, editors. One of the best parts about my job is when I come across a true professional who is good at theirs. It always lifts my soul and makes me feel that all is right in the world. Dr Juliette Lachemeier constantly enables that feeling. A consummate and comprehensive editor, she simply takes manuscripts and makes them better. Isn't that exactly what everyone wants in an editor?

Ian Andrew, Managing Director and Owner of The Book Reality Experience.

"Juliette advised me constructively with no holds barred..."

I had the great fortune to be advised of the wonderful editorial skills of Juliette Lachemeier. A friend, also an author, recommended her services. Being a first-time author, it is a maze and also somewhat daunting with people offering all manner of bangs and whistles. However, from the first instant, Juliette was professional and honest, guiding me through my 52 chapters! She polished and refined my manuscript and really directed me to the changes needed to keep an audience pulled in. It was truly a great learning curve, and I am and always will be very grateful to this beautiful young lady.

Juliette was amazing re content and organisation as well as character development and clarity of plot, which is crucial. She made me flesh out areas to get a clearer picture and create a better flow. Juliette advised me constructively with no holds barred in my areas of weakness. I would highly recommend Juliette as an editor; she is a true gate-keeper. 

Linda S. Dowling, Author of the Red Dust series.

"She guided me through the process of writing... "

" Thoroughly recommend her services to any writer out there..."

I will be eternally grateful to Juliette for her communication, project, editing and publishing skills in managing my first novel, The Imposter, for print-on-demand and Ebook release. My initial ignorance of publishing protocols and their intricacies has now been appeased. Juliette’s commitment to minute detail has also given me great confidence in the finished product. I am excited to distribute this novel to the reading public via all major booksellers.

After all the years I spent on writing, rewriting and editing, this ‘baby’ has now been born with the aid of a highly competent ‘midwife’ who seamlessly dealt with dramas that arose. My appreciation for Juliette’s very broad knowledge of things literary has led me to thoroughly recommend her services to any writer out there.

Again, my thanks, Juliette. I’ll be in touch again soon with more work for you. 

Chris Shaw, Author of The Imposter: A Norfolk Romance and Counterpunch

"The Erudite Pen (Juliette) made the editing process an absolute breeze!..."

FIVE WORDS: JULIETTE IS THE COMMA QUEEN. As a first time author, it's a scary thing leaving your heart and soul in the hands of someone else... The Erudite Pen (Juliette) made the editing process an absolute breeze! She was brutally honest, always available, prompt, meticulous, PASSIONATE and supportive from the moment we started working together. Even now, on the day of my release, she is supporting me with promoting my work, purchasing my book and sending me links to assist in the process of getting my novel in libraries. I couldn't recommend Juliette enough. Not only have I found my editor for future projects to come, but I'd like to think I've found a book-friend for life as well. 

Bree Lenehan, Author of Pembrin: The Hidden Alcove.

"Juliette is first and foremost the editor of choice..."

To publish a book from a manuscript written by a dear friend, who wrote extensively of her trials and tribulations during her cancer treatment whilst also facing the prospect of death, requires expertise and empathy. These qualities are to be found in the professional editing skills of Dr Juliette Lachemeier.

The manuscript was a combination of handwritten and typed text which had to be re-written into Word 10 by myself. However, the final product was a masterpiece due to Juliette’s skills. Juliette made sure that the author’s humanity and her spirit came through very strongly in this book, and she also ensured that the author’s voice remained strong and true. In fact, Juliette has taken the book from editing through all the stages required to be published on both Amazon CreateSpace and IngramSpark.

Juliette is first and foremost the editor of choice for her skill and delightful personality.

Brian W Godfrey, Orkhis Publishing.

"She’s a kind-hearted person who always meets deadlines..."
