Testimonials and Books


Working across various platforms (my website, Reedsy, Fiverr, Editors Canada, etc.), I’m privileged to work with so many clients from all over the world. Whether it’s full edits, an assessment, a critique of query materials, a course, etc., it’s my absolute pleasure to help writers hone their craft and polish their stories. But how do you know an editor is the right fit for you? How can you trust them? I think word of mouth and testimonials can go a long way in establishing trust between a new client and an editor. I’m so thankful for the kind feedback on my work, and hopefully, this can help make your decision to hire me a little easier. Of course, it’s easy for any freelancer to handpick their clients’ testimonials and only show the good ones, but my average is 5 stars because I always deliver quality service. I strive for excellence with my clients and work hard to keep it that way. You can see the feedback on vetted platforms, like Reedsy and Fiverr. Some of these lovely notes below come from those sites and some come from my website clients. Check out what my clients are saying!

Published Books I’ve Worked On


Here are some of the published books I’ve worked on. Some are traditionally published, i.e. through Harper Muse (a HarperCollins imprint), some are indie published (i.e., through Dundurn Press), and some are self-published. Click each book for more info, and if you order a copy, be sure to select your home country–or better yet, visit your local indie bookstore to see if you can get it there! 😉


Stay tuned for more fabulous books I’m working on!
