The important and long overdue biography of one of the key suffragettes who fought for the women's right to vote. Phebe Hanaford was also one of the first woman ministers, a poet, historian, writer, and a wife and mother. You will be catapulted into her era, from the early 1800's to just after 1920, when women won the right to vote, through her journals and correspondence, newspaper articles, and historical documents, all wonderfully woven together into the rich tapestry that was her life.

– Angela Bellacosa

 

When I engaged Editing Lane, my manuscript, while well documented, did not include footnotes. Angela Bellacosa’s professional opinion encouraged me to let her footnote the manuscript. Her work transformed the manuscript into the professional document that went to press. Over the months I found Angela Bellacossa easy to work with and prompt in meeting our agreed upon schedules. I believe I made an excellent choice and recommend her professional services.

A Mighty Social Force

 

A poetic, autobiographical novel that tells the inspiring story of one courageous woman's struggle to overcome the ravages of polio during the WWII era, when most polio sufferers lived their lives as forgotten shut-ins.

– Angela Bellacosa

 

It was a stress free experience working with Angela. Her diligent attention to every detail was impressive, to say the least; now I feel extremely confident in sending The Ramp into the reading world and will, without a doubt, when needed, look no further for a caring, personally involved, and excellent editing professional. Thank you, Angela!

You will be taken back to a simpler era when family teamwork and togetherness, community and neighborliness, hard work and taking pride in all that one produced were the staples of American life. 

– Angela Bellacosa

 

Angela, you did a wonderful job editing my mother's book, Place Settings in Time. Thanks for helping me polish her prose and ensure the words, sentences, and paragraphs came together to tell the story she wanted to share. You completed this project quickly and well.

Flowers for Emily is the second novel I’ve had the good fortune to work with Angela on. I not only find her expertise and professionalism comforting, but her suggestions and eye for detail really helped me define the plot for my mystery. I have learned more working with her than I can express and I look forward to our future adventures together.

From passages in the Bible, Dr. Blake Carroll discusses the ways that Christians are to confront and conquer the Adversary. – Angela Bellacosa

 

Angela Bellacosa is an exceptional editor. She diligently helped me to produce a work that was definitely fulfilling. – Blake Carroll, Th.D. 

President, Christ-Pointe Ministries

 

What should one do when feeling depressed, angry, self-pitying, or resentful? What did Jesus instruct Christians to do? What were God's instructions to the heroes of the Old Testament and the prophets? Dealing with How You're Feeling answers these questions for Christians in plain language, drawing from the wisdom of relevant biblical passages. 

– Angela Bellacosa

 

Angela Bellacosa did a splendid job editing my book, Dealing with How You’re Feeling. Actually, I believe she is arguably one of the best editors in the country!

Hersband is a fresh coming of age story of a girl who knows from her first years that she is actually a boy on the inside. Dena Vargas' story is hilarious, heartwarming, and above all, genuine. 

– Angela Bellacosa

 

My novel, Hersband, was the first book I had ever written. When I sent it to Angela, it was a mess. It needed everything corrected: spelling, grammar, punctuation, structure. Angela used her skills and went to work on my book and made it a professional, copyright ready novel. And nothing was done by her without my approval. And one last thing, Angela knew the context of my book and did her best work without any prejudice.   

– Christina Batista

 

A man falls asleep on the couch and dreams of going on a journey through a fantasy land with a Corgie for his guide. Every fascinating character he meets along the way imparts a lesson on how economies and stock markets work. Learning doesn't get any more colorful or entertaining.  – Angela Bellacosa

 

 

From start to finish, I felt that my manuscript was in the hands of an able and gifted editor. Angela's suggestions gave me some good ideas for my final revision of Capitalist Dogs. – Jack Katz, M.S., J.D.
