Emery Arden
"Samantha was amazing to work with! She really invested in my book and made my prose sing. Will absolutely be using her services again in the future."
KB Lawrence
"Samantha is meticulous and thorough, catching inconsistencies in details of description, plot, and mood that I would miss if I went through the books a hundred times. She has edited five of my books now, and every time has smoothed word flow, clarified meaning, punched up characterization, and aligned disparate timelines. She is unfailingly professional and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her services unreservedly."
Jesse Nolan Bailey
"Samantha blew me away with her attention to detail. Not only did she demonstrate her excellent grasp and expertise on grammar, but also showed numerous times that she pays attention to the plot, character details, and genre. She caught minuscule inconsistencies I'd introduced from book 1 to book 2, and helped this story shine even brighter. I HIGHLY recommend her."
Michael Glenzel
Working with Samantha has been a great pleasure. She has given me a lot of confidence in my writing through her feedback and comments. I couldn't be more thrilled and satisfied. She was so thorough and detailed. I found every recommendation invaluable. She turned a good story into a great story. From the very beginning, she understood my style and overall tone of my books. Lately, it seems she knows my main character better than me. I look forward to her feedback, because I know it's going to make the story better. Highly professional, easy to work with, and delivers within the set timeline.

"Working with Samantha was an amazing experience. She was my editor for my debut novel, and I am absolutely sure that she will continue to be my editor for my next novels as well! Professional, quick to respond, and gave such insight not only in practical ways to improve my book but also my writing style! I now have a novel that I am proud to put out into the world and it's thanks to Samantha's talented eye."

K.R. Hansen
"Samantha is amazing. I hired her to do a final edit for my YA novel and she did not disappoint. She is through. Meticulous. Got the vibe of all the characters from page one and plumped them up, made them shine. She smoothed countless passages that needed help and discovered things I was blind to and couldn't see. She has an innate ability to juggle all plot points in her head seemingly at once, seeing the story from all angles, linking things together seamlessly. She is also kind, quick and professional. Truly exemplary work, my novel is so greatly improved by her touch. I will be singing her praises to all my author friends and will hire again for future books."

"Samantha was fantastic! Elevated my book without compromising my writing style or author voice. She is very thorough and professional, and still casual with her suggestions and commentary. Even when something isn’t working, she puts on a positive spin with constructive criticism. Would happily work with her again!"

Shari Cross
"Samantha was amazing! I have felt stuck with this book for so long. I knew something wasn't working, but I couldn't figure it out. Samantha was able to identify the exact issue. If I hadn't worked with her, I don't know if I ever would have gotten to the point where I would have published this book. Now I feel confident I'll be able to fix what wasn't quite working and make this the novel I wanted it to be. She is so kind, motivating, and great at what she does. I couldn't recommend her more. I will definitely be working with her again."

"Samantha was a complete joy from start to finish! She helped me take my story I love so much and polish and refine all the smallest details to make it shine. Her dedication and passion kept me inspired and I can't wait to work with Samantha again for my next books!"

C. S. Quinn
"This is the second time I've gone to Samantha for editing services. I did a developmental edit and this latest review is for the line edit she did for me. Through both processes she took her time and did her research to make sure that the story had the flow and character development that was needed, without taking away from the story. I've learned so much about writing from working with her on my project. I can't recommend her enough."

Michael Karolewski
"Working with Samantha was a treat! She provided a thorough review of my plot, characters, and themes, highlighting what was working and where there were areas for opportunity. She also included helpful comments throughout the manuscript that really helped me gauge the pacing and what a reader would be thinking throughout. After incorporating her suggestions, my story feels way stronger! She also finished the project two weeks earlier than anticipated, which was an added bonus. I would definitely work with her again."
