Client Testimonials

“As a writer making my first foray into publishing, I was incredibly anxious about handing my manuscript, my baby, over for editorial scrutiny. Tara naturally and easily guided me through the editing process, assuaging my anxiety every step of the way. Her love of what she does and her expertise shine through in every aspect of what she provides. Without a doubt, I am a more confident writer just for having Tara’s editorial guidance and overall encouragement. I could not be happier with the outcome of my manuscript after working with her; she made my story and the characters absolutely shine. I look forward to working with her again!”

-Kimberly Dungey, Author of This Is Where Our Ancestors Rest

“Tara has been incredible! First of all, she is so nice to work with; she was so patient with me. She did such a great job at finding inconsistencies, where I needed to fix things, etc. She did an amazing job! I’m very happy working with her and I would definitely have her as an editor again.”
