What they're saying
The summary document was incredibly helpful to have alongside the edits, and the little personal reactions you left in the comments really helped me to see how things were landing.
Your edits highlighted some things that I hadn't seen after living in that story for the past 12 months! These will definitely improve the final manuscript.
Working with you was a pleasure, it really felt like you were as excited about my book as I am!

You got it [edits] back to me weeks -weeks!- early with detailed comments as well as a summary review/final thoughts, all which were great reading! You're friendly and lovely and all comments were points I hadn't considered and needed review.
Hope to work with you again in the future.

A shout out to Sarah on her AMAZING development edits and bringing an encouraging and unique perspective to my book baby. I'm so thankful for her and all her hard work. Highly Recommend!

It was honestly such a delight getting to work with Sarah. She was so much more than just an editor, offering support and encouragement along with suggestions on how to elevate my book to the next level.
Her comments during the beta read/developmental edit of my manuscript gave me specific points to work on, and more than just pointing out issues, she highlighted the strong points of my storytelling. It felt like she really understood and immersed herself in the world I created, working with my voice and my characters, which is something I appreciated so deeply.
She’s been such a cheerleader for my book, and I adored working with her. Her proofreading of the final manuscript was detailed and thorough.
I’ve already booked her in for my next project!

I worked with Sarah on my second novel "When Death Gives You Lemons". She provided developmental edits and support along the way. Her feedback was clear, concise, and direct, but never impolite. She was and still is open for questions, support, and brain-picking even after having returned my MS to me. As an indie author, support for the story itself is extremely important to maintain the joy in writing when it feels like a chore, and Sarah managed to do just that.

From the moment I sent her a sample to review, to the final edits on my whole manuscript, working with Sarah was smooth sailing. Her enthusiasm, professionalism and kind nature make for a great editorial experience.
This was my first novel, and I was nervous to give it to someone who would not enjoy it, or who would sugar coat her comments so as to please me. On the contrary to both, Sarah gave excellent constructive criticism, and helped me flag sections of my story that needed more work by giving detailed feedback as well as ways to rewrite certain passages. Also, she highlighted and commented on several passages that she loved which helped boost my mood while doing the tedious task of editing.
Communication wise, I've always found it easy to communicate with her either through emails or by messaging her on Instagram.
To sum it up, she's awesome, I loved working with her, and I highly recommend Sarah to all who are considering hiring her!
