One BIG Family

"I am not a writer, but I felt I had a story to tell that would encourage young people ... That, coupled with my love of children, begged to be told. I struggled to write my story and when I had done all I could do, I turned to a friend for a recommendation. My friend suggested I contact Jody at Crippled Beagle Publishing. I did and what a wonderful recommendation. Jody took my poor book and transformed my organization, smoothed the grammar, and crafted what I had written into a “sweet book.” I will forever be indebted to Jody for helping me realize my dream of publishing my story so others would be encouraged and hopefully consider fostering children."

Picnic on the Fault Line

"For many years, my wish has been to put together a book of my poems— which I have been writing since the 1980’s. Originally conceived as a gift for family and friends, and something I thought I would surely be able to figureout on the internet— finding Jody to help with all of the details has made my vision come true. From her excellent editing and computer skills, to her creativity with the design of the cover and general layout, and her efficiency in meeting a time-line, she has far exceeded my expectations. And I do appreciate her encouragement to make this book more widely available.Though I have shared some of these poems with others over the years (and often been encouraged to publish them in book form) my busy career as a professional cellist in Nashville TN, and raising two beautiful daughters, has often made finding time for my other artistic pursuits a struggle. But my love for reading, writing, and poetry in particular has never ceased. I also greatly love the visual arts, and was so happy that Jody could help me design a cover that features one of my paintings. Hopefully you will find some of the breadth of that journey reflected in this little volume that spans thirty years of my life."

The Dystopian King Series

"When I decided to go the route of self-publishing, I looked into several options for editing. I knew I needed it, but everyone was either out of my price range, not the best at working with the client’s needs, or (frankly) boring. I wanted an experience as much as I wanted professional results and a reliable source I could return to for future works. Then I was introduced to Jody Dyer and found someone whose humor and personality reminded you that she is an actual human being and not some machine giving you edited results. Jody was flexible, which I greatly appreciated. Her professionalism, coupled with her frequent advice on both my manuscript and how to run a writing business, ensured not only a high-quality work, but also told me she was just as passionate about the success of my book as I was. I am happy to say I am confident to have Jody Dyer edit my work for me because with her, not only do you find professional level work at a reasonable and flexible rate, but you also find a friend who wants you to succeed in this business."
