Testimonials
“Working with Lily has been one of the highlights of my writing process as she helped to delve into the terrifying abyss of developmental edits for my dark academia fantasy novel, and from the very beginning, her approach was thoughtful, kind, and incredibly insightful. What really stood out to me was how she didn’t try to fix the book for me — instead, she asked the kind of questions that made me think differently about my characters, plot, and themes. Half the time I found myself wondering, “How did she even think to ask that?” in the best possible way. Her in-line comments were a great balance of critique and encouragement — not just pointing out what wasn’t working, but also celebrating the parts that were. On top of that, she wrote a short editorial letter after each chapter, summarising what she thought was happening. It might sound simple, but that helped me realise what was actually making it onto the page… and what wasn’t. That kind of perspective is hard to get on your own. It meant a lot to be her client, and I feel lucky to have had her on my side during this extremely difficult part of the journey.”
“I loved Lily’s approach to editing my manuscript, she took time to meet with me before and after the edits were completed, to get a feel for what I was looking for. I think she did an excellent job and she is definitely worth hiring! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your manuscript as much as you do, you’ve found your editor!
The thing I found most refreshing about Lily’s style of editing is that she works with what you have—instead of pulling it apart— and helps you find the best version of your own story. Essentially walking with you through the dungeons of your imagination, guiding you as you find the missing pieces that were there all along! She’s wonderful to partner with to help you really heighten your work and bring it to the next level!”
