Client Testimonials
“Sarah is an incredibly talented editor. She has a keen eye for story structure, pacing, and character development. I worked with her on a full manuscript developmental edit in preparation of querying agents. I was so pleased with her feedback and insights, which helped strengthen the book in ways that exceeded my hopes and expectations. I'll be coming to her with all of my future novels!” — Kerri Schlottman, author of Tell Me One Thing (Regal House Publishing, 2023)
“Things truly clicked for my client after speaking with Sarah. I haven't seen her this excited, engaged, and joyful about her writing in a long time. I know she's felt stuck, and Sarah was the exact boost she needed. So warm, kind and chock full of knowledge and advice to help get her over this hump.” — Elizabeth Copps, President and Literary Agent, Copps Literary Services, LLC
“Sarah is a fantastic editor. I have worked with her on several projects and have found her to be prompt, professional, efficient, and detailed. She will bring out the best in your work. She knows how to provide constructive, actionable feedback that will enhance your manuscript and help you accomplish your publishing goals. I spent years querying manuscripts with nothing to show for it except a deluge of form rejections. It was no coincidence that, after working with Sarah, I began receiving multiple full requests and eventually signed with an agent. Sarah worked wonders for me and she will do the same for you.” — Kevin DG Johnson, author of ‘Twas The Night (William Morrow, forthcoming 2026)
“I've worked with Sarah twice now, both times for developmental edits, and I fully plan to use her for every single one of my manuscripts in the future. She has great attention to detail and provides strong, well thought out feedback. Her suggestions never go against a character's history/personality nor do they drastically change my vision of the story. Instead they build on what I've created and give me a path forward to really strengthen and tighten up my manuscript. I can't say enough how invaluable Sarah's editing services are!” — Maddox Grey, author of the Lost Legacies series (Greymalkin Press)
“Working with Sarah was a delight and I learned so much from her notes and developmental edits. I needed fresh eyes on a manuscript and she helped me with a number of issues, from structure to pacing to consistent character growth. I've worked with a number of editors before and Sarah provided me with some of the clearest, most insightful feedback and editorial notes I've ever had - I'd absolutely love to work with her again.” — Elsie Chapman, YA and MG author
“I’ve never worked with an editor who recognized the potential in a manuscript better and then was able to get it there. Sarah asked the right questions up front and then took the puzzle apart, made some difficult choices without sacrificing any of the characters’ voices or motivations, and put it all back together… Her work opened up what was possible for the project, and I ended up reading her notes again and again as a supplement to the manuscript realizing she had created a fully realized world.” — Hannah Page, YA and Speculative Romance author
“Sarah has a talent for finding the heart of the story. Because of her editorial advice and suggestions, I now see my story more clearly, especially in terms of what makes it special. In addition, she has a keen sense of YA readers and encourages writers to create authentic voices and storylines to suit this audience.” — Maria Hebert-Leiter, YA author
“Sarah goes above and beyond. As an editor, she takes the time to address questions and utilizes her expertise to improve your work and give you an idea of what agents want. She's very patient and helpful, and a pleasure to work with.” — Zach Erwin, SFF author
“Sarah communicated throughout the process to let me know where she was and asked questions to help her better understand what I was trying to achieve... It was clear to me she had put a lot of time and effort into my project. I have learned a lot throughout this process, and I would definitely work with Sarah again.” — James Bailey, author
