Testimonials & Featured Clients

I use Lori as my line editor and have to say I will 100% recommend her every time someone asks. She is the whole package. She will get you your manuscript back in a timely manner, and her edits are clear with explanations where they are needed while also respecting your Author Voice throughout. She does not have a problem with you asking questions about why she made an edit that she did and will provide teaching moments throughout to help you continue to grow in your craft. 5⭐️⭐⭐️️⭐️⭐️ She is worth every penny.

When I reached out, I did not know what to expect. I knew generally what I needed done, but not what 'service' it would be considered or how I would afford it. Rue stepped in, heard me out, asked key questions to help me pinpoint where my needs were, and guided me down the right path. How do I know? I thought I was going to need a second Developmental Edit based on some feedback I was getting from my ARC readers about pacing and connection. She could have encouraged me to do that and would have made a lot more money. Instead, we were able to do a light dev edit (she was the editor for it), make the necessary tweaks, and the reviews I have had since then are consistently better. I am grateful for her patience with me as a new author, her ability to explain things in a clear and concise manner that addresses my needs and proves that she hears what I am saying - and is not just focused on the paycheck. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, and will give you honest feedback (including some you may not want to hear) in a RESPECTFUL manner, Rue should be your go to. 5 ⭐️⭐⭐️️⭐️⭐️
