Feedback
"I am SO PLEASED with what you have done with the edits. I barely changed or was concerned about anything." — Christmas Miller, Illuminations: A Road Less Traveled, a modern day Seer's journal of the human experience
"Sarah was amazing! She did a fabulous job! My manuscript was immeasurably improved because of her work! I'm so grateful that I found her through your network." — Judy Myers, Managing the Mommy Years
"Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She provided me with some very useful edits/comments on my manuscript." — Apryl Beverly
"I was impressed with the network as I heard back from Sarah within 6 hours of submitting my request. Sarah wrote such a warm and informative letter and did a sample edit for me within 24 hours. I engaged her services within the day. Her work was more than I had expected in every way. She was wonderful, professional, positive, helpful and patient with my inexperience in these matters. She took extra time to offer me insight and information to help me. When I received my book back, I was astounded at how amazingly clear, and consistently she was able to work with what I had written and take it to a new level. I would recommend Sarah to anyone without a hesitation. She is awesome!" — Alice Inoue, A Loving Guide to These Shifting Times
"It has been a great experience for me. Working with you has been easy and I've learned a lot. You have really accommodated me, especially the present tense issue. Your comments are always germane and have enthused me to be a better writer and to get this novel very polished and have convinced me I can get published. I especially liked that you attempted to fill in needed gaps. It made it easy for me to perceive what was needed and to fix it." —(Contact information on request)
"It was a great pleasure to work with Sarah I brought Sarah a labor of love and she reciprocated. Writing a biography is a very sensitive process and finding the right editor is crucial. Sarah displayed a rare combination of sensitivity to the subject matter with confidence and thorough professionalism. It is clear that she really cares about her work. I would recommend her services to anyone and I would love to work with her again!" —Stephanie South
"I am having a wonderful time going over the things you have corrected and added. You are wonderful!!!" — Monica Bouvier, Searching for Mr. Wonderful
"This is an eye-opening experience for me. I self-published my first two books without an editor and they're full of errors and rough spots. Thanks for being so great to work with. I have to say, I'm very impressed. The little notes are a terrific help. And the fact that you tell me what you like, as well as what you don't is more than I expected." — Derek E. Ladd, Without Wings
"Thank you for the excellent job. Your creative talent in structuring and editing contributed strongly to the final form of this book, and your edits made a vast improvement in the manuscript. I was touched by your sincerity, dedication, and attention to detail." —Raj Paode, Ph.D., It’s Not Your Fault: The Destiny Program for Curing Post-Divorce Trauma
"I loved your copy edit and the clarity you gave to the two interweaving dialogues.
You did a wonderful job. Thank you so much." —Joyce Johnson, Sir Goodnight Ethan
"In writing a book about the search for truth and meaning in our lives, it is valuable, if not essential, to have as editor someone who is personally involved in that search. Sarah Aschenbach is a person who has been on that search for most of her life. Much of the richness of this book is due to Sarah's work. Certainly the experiences and the knowledge gained are mine, but the manner in which these adventures of body and mind are presented is Sarah’s gift. Her own life has afforded her the experience and wisdom to sort carefully through the basket of stones I presented, find the gems, and clean and polish them befitting their value. My deepest thanks goes to her for her kind and wise editing and her unflagging support for this project." —Locke Rush, Ph.D., Finding the Way Home
