Testimonials

“Dana was fantastic! She was very thorough at editing my novel. I really appreciated the extra time she took to answer some questions I had about the edits. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a highly skilled editor. ”

-D, literary fiction

 

“As always she never disappoints. Had my work back to me before the due date and she is one of my favorite people to work with. She goes in depth with my work and gives my work all her attention and I appreciate everything she does for me.”

 

-E, romance

 

“Exactly what an author needs from a developmental editor: in depth and sensitive critique, well thought out lit critique letter, good line editing, and beating the promised delivery date. The comments I received are helping me immensely as I work through them, and I would strongly recommend Dana’s developmental editing for any writing!”

 

-Jen, urban fantasy

“A big thanks again to Dana and her incredible editing skills. She took my mediocre story and turned it into something special. If you're in the market for smart, tough editing, rattle Dana's cage. Her work on my latest is nothing less than extraordinary.”

-J, fictionalized memoir


“I have nothing but praise. She took the time to review my work and presented me a critical review that points out ways to make my novel stronger and her line edit really helped smooth out rough areas of my style.”

-R, spy fiction


“Another great experience working with Dana. The suggestions are explained so well that I look forward to editing and don’t make me want to cry like my experiences with other editors. Highly recommended.”

-M, romance

“She left very helpful notes that were followed by a very thorough explanation essay. She did developmental and line edits and she was so encouraging and easy to work with. 10/10 recommended her. I will definitely be using her again!”

-Rose, romance

“Hands down, one of the best people to review any story. The details provided about story direction (where it worked as well as where it doesn’t) are some of the most important parts of feedback I was seeking. Thank you!”

-T, self-help

“Dana was incredibly communicative throughout the process, and also very supportive. I have heard awful stories about mean editors that completely change the voice of the story, but Dana has provided a lot of examples for me how to improve, but not entirely change, my writing in a kind and supportive way. I’d definitely love to work with her again!”

-A, romance

“I would recommend Dana to anyone needing a kind but critical eye. She is so smart and provides her editing quickly and at a reasonable price.”

-L, literary fiction

“Dana helped me so much with my developmental edit! I have such a stronger book than I did before and am extremely optimistic about it getting picked up by a publisher. Even if it doesn’t, I feel more confident than ever about self-publishing and actually turning a profit because of her support, encouragement, and advice! 

 

And this is all coming from someone who gets extremely anxious when going through critical feedback – Dana’s was absolutely perfect at being encouraging while not shying away from things that needed to be fixed. Rather than feeling like shutting down or embarrassed when she pointed out an inconsistency, I felt motivated to fix it and like I had the know-how to do so. 

 

She was also so amazing about working with me on a timeline and payment plan so I could afford the edit, and her prices are more than fair and affordable regardless! She’s also been very accessible even after the edit was completed with follow up questions and advice, especially as I’ve received requests from publishers. 

 

Ask her for a sample edit, you won’t be disappointed!”
