  • "Wow! Haley is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond in helping me with my proposal in ways I couldn't have imagined. She has such a talent, and knows her stuff. I can already see how her suggestions and edits will not only make the proposal many times better, but also the book itself. I can't thank her enough for her help, and will definitely work with her again if I have the opportunity."

  • "Haley was truly a pleasure to work with. Since this is my first book, and I had already faced a poor experience with a self-publishing house, I was nervous about handing over my manuscript for critique. However, Haley exceeded my expectations and gave me phenomenal feedback, greatly elevating my book from its original version. I would definitely work with Haley again and recommend her to anyone looking for developmental editing services. Thank you, Haley!"

  • "I have had four books published and Haley is by far the best editor to have contributed to my work. Her hard work is readily apparent in the depth of her analysis and keen insights not only into the structure, grammar, and overall quality of my novel, but I feel Haley has helped me to improve the themes and sharpen my artistic intent."
