What Our Clients Say

Meet Proof Positive’s CEO
Christie Stratos founded Proof Positive in 2013 in response to independent authors’ dissatisfaction with the quality and cost of editors. Fueled by coffee and armed with a degree in English Literature, Christie’s corporate background in language learning course construction and management as well as her passion for detail and great storytelling bring out the best in each client’s work. Her goal is to blend compassion with professional guidance to make authors look forward to every edit. You’ll never fear the red pen again!
