CLIENTS AND PREVIOUS WORK
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."

"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."

"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. She also taught me a few things along the way. I'm already writing my next story and will be seeking Samantha's services again in the future."

"Samantha delivered more than I could have hoped for and exactly what I wanted. Her line edits were thorough and insightful, and they definitely helped elevate my manuscript. I could not recommend her more strongly (but fear she will be too busy when I need her services again). Not only were the edits great, but her professionalism and regular communication were terrific. I am so grateful for the hard work she put into my manuscript. She's the best!"

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."
