"Many thanks to Olivia for swooping in and relieving so much stress for me as I finished the last touches on my book! Her edits were spot-on and she went above and beyond sharing formatting and citation tips. She is kind, but also direct with her suggestions. I highly recommend!"

John North

author of Gorgon: The Crimson Witch

"Olivia was a great editor for my short story! She worked quickly, caught a lot of pesky grammar errors and gave me actionable feedback in order to take the my work to the next level. The pricing is also very reasonable!"

Eleanor Wells

author of All Our Yesterdays and Our Lifelong Dreams

"Olivia's experience allowed me to tighten the pace, improve the tension, and cut unnecessary backstory. After our collaboration, I felt more confident about my novel. She was affordable, highly knowledgeable, very easy to communicate with, and the most lighthearted editor I've had the pleasure of working with."

McCaid Paul

author of Allegation, Dead River, and Sweet Tea & Snap Peas

​​​​​​​"Olivia was amazing! She was very patient with all my questions and very knowledgeable about the self-publishing process. I was very overwhelmed at first, but Olivia really helped explain it in a way that made sense. She also has a great sense of humor and was a joy to work with!"

M.S. Grace

author of Trapped with a Killer

"Olivia was a joy to work with because of her amazingly positive attitude and her thoroughness when evaluating manuscripts. Her timeliness and flexibility were also necessary and valued."

Savanna Roberts

Co-Founder and Head of Operations at Snow Ridge Press

"Olivia took an idea I was certain I had plotted to death and breathed new life into it. By the end of our consultation, I found my once dried-up well of ideas bursting at the seams with inspiration."
