Testimonials from Writers Like You
Alvin Svitzer, Author of The Art of Killing Gods
When it comes to taking my work to the next level, Amber is my go-to person. With the insight of a writer-anthropologist hybrid, she has edited three of my books with an expert eye. She isn’t afraid to point out my weak spots but does so with a gentle touch, making sure that my characters and plot arcs stay true to the story’s spirit. Amber is the first person to read any of my writing. Why? I know she’ll ensure that my work reaches its fullest potential before I show it to the world. She’s my secret weapon, and I’m glad to have her on my team.
Asher D. Payne, Author of Cast from the Dark
Amber was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attentiveness to detail and commitment to the project absolutely blew me away. I’ve never had an editor be so invested in my words, characters, and world before, until I found her. Not only is she thorough, but she FEELS what you write and vocalizes that as well. Every reaction, comment, and yell she sent my way had me smiling because it truly felt like she cared about where the story was headed and was invested in figuring it out. I have never met an editor like her, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to recommend her enough.
Christina Halverson, Co-Author of Vanishing Point
Amber was amazing to work with! Her dedication and attention to detail are unlike anyone else. I truly appreciated her ability to capture the characters’ voices while also making sure to bring the story to its fullest. Her end comments were everything, and I’d never had an editor list her favorite quotes before. It made it personalized, but also reiterated just how much she does care! There are not enough words to recommend her as an editor, and I will be going back for services from her continually!
Jessa Leads, Author of Quick, Quick, Slow
Writers often fear the “red pen,” but working with Amber felt more like being teleported into a reader’s brain. Her extensive feedback goes so much deeper than grammar. It’s like sitting inside a reader’s head as they experience the story for the first time. Knowing exactly where they’ll gasp, pause, or wonder allowed me to sharpen my narrative in a way I never could have on my own. Highly recommend.
Molly Machado, Author of An Indian-ish Proposal
Amber has been an incredible asset for me on my novel writing journey both from an emotional support perspective and from an editorial perspective. Her keen insights and detailed commentary on my manuscript helped me get a whole lot closer to the finish line and work through key elements of my story that needed to evolve. She has an undeniable passion for fiction writing and editing and is incredibly talented. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a developmental editor, copy editor or otherwise.
Paulina Ian-Kane, Author of One
Amber proofread my latest book and made sure it achieved its full potential. Her professionalism, gentle touch and sweet disposition made it really easy to work together. She has a very keen eye, going above and beyond to make sure everything is just perfect. I really like how Amber leaves small comments on the manuscript to explain some of the changes she makes. And if that’s not enough she’s always available to clarify her work using frankness and tact. I’ll definitely work with her again in the future.
