​Emily is an absolutely WONDERFUL editor! As I've gone through her changes and comments, I have found myself breathing a sigh of relief that my work didn't go to print before she made her changes. It never ceases to amaze me how many things a good editor catches that I don't, even when I review a draft several times. And Emily is a truly great editor. She met my work on its own terms, diving into the concepts and offering ways to clarify and deepen them. It was clear she engaged the work witth interest and curiosity, not just as "another job." I'm grateful for the considerable contributions she's made to my book and would definitely work with her again!
NICHOLAS TIPPINS, author of the upcoming The Poet's Journey
​Emily was absolutely amazing to work with. Her ability to spot errors and discrepancies, while maintaining my writing style and voice is a true testament of her talent. She stuck to deadline dates and kept me updated as the process went along. After being scammed by a fake editor and hiring another editor that performed below average work, Emily was the light at the end of the tunnel! The care she took with my book reignited my motivation to meet my publishing deadlines. I will definitely be hiring her again for my upcoming books! If you need copy/line editing for your manuscript, I highly recommend Emily. She's worth every penny!

Emily has been a delight and a joy to work with. She meticulously guided me through the editing process. I trust her work and her recommendations. I am humbled by her compassionate feedback in each line and moved by her deep insights. Thank you Emily for your remarkable and valuable guidance.
NISHA, Author of I HAD TO BREAK ME and Spiritualist
Emily provides fantastic value. Good poetry editors for experienced writers who still want growth are not easy to find. It was beyond helpful to receive a deep review of how my poems landed for a reader, and one so customized to my personal writing values and goals. Strengths were noted and the tone was positive, yet the feedback was purposeful, thorough, and to the point. I'm looking forward to flexing these insights in future work, and my next collection will undoubtedly go through Emily's keen eye at least once before publication.
JENNIFER CAMARA, author of Reduction Fired
​Emily's editorial assessment was spot on. I could tell she understood my vision for this book and was committed to helping me sharpen that vision. I'm confident I'll be putting my best foot forward. If you're looking for a great nonfiction editor, look no further!
ALEX NOTTINGHAM, author of the upcoming
My Uncle the Magician
Emily's editing was a revelation, and I have enjoyed working with her tremendously. She pays remarkably close attention and really strives to give notes that feel both incredibly specific and sensitive to the voice and style of the writer. I cannot recommend working with her enough, I would hire her again in a second and would recommend her to any poet who needs a thoughtful, close look at a collection.
DALE NEURINGER, Poet and Teacher
Emily is an amazing editor. From the first day I worked with her I knew that she loved poetry and that she would help me polish my poems until they were their best selves. She made me recognize my strengths as a poet and also suggested things to improve my work. I feel that she’s made me a better, clearer writer. Thanks,Emily!

Working with Emily has been a wonderful and seamless experience. Emily brought so much care to each line of the poems I submitted that I felt safe to send her more of my work. I knew with her initial feedback that she had held each word and each thought carefully before suggesting edits. She has been so generous with feedback, explanations, and invitations to consider approaches I had not considered. The poems we worked on now have a clearer and deeper meaning, form, sound and most of all a readiness to go out into the world. I look forward to working with with Emily again. If you are considering hiring a poetry editor, Emily is your person!

I absolutely recommend working with Emily if you need an editor!

Emily is the best copy editor and line editor I have ever worked with, hands down. She delivered on my book project on-time, on-budget, and she surpassed my expectations on all fronts. ... If you have a book project that needs copy or line editing, especially around self-help/spirituality, I'd highly recommend Emily. Her feedback is constructive, supportive, and productive. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and collaborative style made the whole process feel easier than I expected it to be.
Derek Ralston, Author of Transformational Fasting
Emily was a gift from the universe. It is without hesitation that I give her my recommendation. Her integrity is impeccable, and she applies that to ensure the author’s voice remains firmly intact. She was an empathetic advocate for the story and message. She helped me dig deeper, elaborate, and ultimately elevate the piece. Emily has all the attributes needed in the role of editor. She is clear, concise, and knowledgeable, with meticulous attention to detail. Her pricing is fair, and she exceeds expectations with communication and meeting deadlines. Emily is a ROCKSTAR, and you would be remiss if she were not your first choice when choosing an editor.
Tracy Bradshaw, Author of
Emily was a godsend! Her feedback helped me to refine my work and make it really hit the mark. She exceeded my expectations with her suggestions and comments and even opened my eyes to the potential of my own creation. She is a visionary and a brilliant editor who leaves no stone unturned. I look forward to working with her in the future!
Hannah Vanhoff, Author of The Ever-Changing Truth of Myself
WOW, I could write another book on how great Emily was to work with. As a first time author, I had no idea what I was doing. From Emily's first message, I knew I wanted to work with someone like her. She is responsive and holds your hand every step of the way. She's so thorough, detailed, constructive, and organized. She cares about your project and really does want to see it succeed through to the end. A lot of my pieces were quite personal and hard to digest, but she never wavered and encouraged my story. I feel so lucky my collection made its way into her hands! Emily - I wish you all the best and know you're going to do amazing things in this industry. If I ever write another book, you're my girl!
MEGAN ZANE, author of the upcoming LET ME OUT
Emily's professionalism and communication immediately stood out from other editors I had contacted. She took the extra time to educated me on various aspects of the editorial and publishing process, and I felt that she genuinely cared about my book. She made the decision to hire her an easy one. Her editorial assessment was high quality and incredibly thorough. She explained the reasons for her suggestions clearly, and provided examples and several online resources to guide my editing process. She transformed my solitary project into a collaborative one, in a way that made me excited to get back to work. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Emily.
MICAH SUTROV, writer
Emily was my Marketing and Revisions editor at New Degree Press when I was working on publishing my book, Rose’s Locket, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She helped me market and pre-sell my book with confidence, and her revisions were always spot-on! She tells it like it is, and my book wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is if I wouldn’t have had her support! Amazing editor!
Shannon Quist, Author of Rose's Locket
Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with. All throughout the process, she was extremely clear and communicative, helping to manage my expectations every step of the way. She delivered on time, and her work was stellar, more than I could have hoped for. I look forward to working with her again.
Christina Berry, Author of Up for Air
I didn't know what exactly I was looking for, but [Emily] was able to guide me with a spot-on assessment of what I really needed. I could tell she knew what she was talking about and I felt at ease sharing my collection with her. Her edits, comments, feedback, and advice were incredibly valuable to me! I highly recommend her!
