Lindsay has been an amazing editor. She has a way of pointing out the changes that makes it clear why they are suggested and how to improve the writing and the progression of the story. In addition, her grasp of the story's progression, coupled with character development and subtle nuances, is unparalleled. If she takes you as a client, Thank your lucky stars. She's the best!

I will be forever grateful that I stumbled upon Lindsay, and that she agreed to take me on as a client. I recently signed with a wonderful literary agent, less than six months into the query process for my debut novel. Lindsay was hugely instrumental in helping me revise and polish both my manuscript and query letter, and by the time I began querying I felt as prepared as I possibly could to succeed in an extremely competitive industry. I hired her for development editing (for the 2nd draft of my novel), manuscript consultation (for the 3rd draft), and query letter evaluation (there is absolutely an art and science to writing a great query letter -- this service is a fantastic value I'd highly recommend to ANY query newbie). Lindsay is an incredibly sharp, talented, and savvy editor and publishing industry insider. She has been an absolute pleasure to partner with on my journey as an emerging author and a truly invaluable resource and champion of my work.  I cannot overstate how hugely helpful and generous with her time and talents Lindsay has been throughout many stages of this arduous journey. I just LOVE her, and cannot emphasize enough how lucky any writer is to have her by their side.

Lindsay possesses a seasoned professional eye, a talent for insightful criticism, and a flair for creative suggestions. Plus, she delivers in a crisp, no-nonsense fashion. She's terrific.

The best thing about working with Lindsay is her enthusiasm for YOUR project. I suspect it’s because she only takes you on if she honestly believes in your project. If you are so lucky, then you are SO lucky. She is prompt and thorough and honest. What more could you ask for? There were so many times during my time working with her that I just told her the problem I was having. I mean problems that have nothing to do with the writing process. Hell, she taught me how to use track changes as if she was the help desk for Apple! Lastly, she offers great ideas, but if you chose to NOT use them, she moves on to her next great idea. That’s called Collaboration. Thank you, Lindsay. That’s all. Just THANK YOU!

Lindsay was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her recommended changes were spot on. The manuscript is significantly better because of her tremendous expertise. Lindsay is an extremely talented editor and I feel so fortunate to have been able to partner with her.

Lindsay is a brilliant developmental editor and so insightful on the commercial side as well! She saw through to the heart of my book, helping me to find the right place to start the story, tighten the series of setups and reveals, and improve the tension. She also helped me discover that I already had an author platform (who knew?) and crafted a bio for me that completely changed my query letter. I will absolutely work with her again for editing and for publishing advice.

Lindsay is a joy to work with. I almost cannot believe how well she knew my full manuscript while conducting a recent review of the work. She could reference specific, nuanced sections of the book from memory. It is so clear she digs deep and gives every ounce of energy she has to her projects. (Either that or she has superhero-level memory, which I am not ruling out.) She is honest, kind and thoughtful with feedback. She's also incredibly patient and will answer as many questions as you have. Honestly, stop wasting your time browsing reviews and go hire her. She is awesome. I would hire her again in a second.

Lindsay was exactly the partner I was hoping for and more! She listens and applies feedback. She communicates clearly and knows how to say “no” when it needs to be said... Most importantly, was that she really rolled up her sleeves to dig in... I feel confident and excited about the work we did together and would absolutely trust Lindsay with my next project!

I cannot thank Lindsay enough for her incredible feedback. She offers such rich and effective advice (also about many things I have not thought about). Thank you, Lindsay, for your wisdom and edits, and for your help with imagining what my project is.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lindsay on a developmental edit for my novel. Her suggestions created a daunting homework assignment for me, but I'm delighted with the course of action we agreed upon.

This was a valuable investment in my book; I don't regret the expense one bit. Why come this far and not go the distance? Lindsay's input has greatly improved my novel, bringing it greater clarity and focus. The end will also be far more poignant as a result of our collaboration. I'm certain these improvements will result in a novel with far broader appeal.



Lindsay finished her review on time, sent a thorough assessment letter in advance of our call and then conducted an organized discussion to go over her comments and answer all my questions. She was very respectful of my work, but didn't hold back identifying and discussing specific areas for improvement. She even provided recommendations for a stepwise path forward depending upon which of two narratives I decided to emphasize...essentially a comprehensive work plan. This specificity allowed me to expand on her suggestions during our call and come away with a clear sense for where I wanted to go. She didn't leave me hanging in any way. The depth of her review gave us plenty to discuss and agree upon as my next steps...with confidence.



Lindsay's experience in both the publishing world and agency space is evident. She speaks fluently about the opportunities and challenges your particular book will face. Lindsay can help guide your work to the point which maximizes its opportunity for success. You just need to put in the work!



Thanks Lindsay! I look forward to working with you again soon.

Working with Lindsay has been awesome and a privilege. It was my first narrative; I knew I was not organized to the best of my ability, I knew it was going to be tough because of my amateur status. Lindsay came through that provided me with direction, recommendations for organization, insight on the process, and has inspired me to write more. Very thankful and excited for what is to come!!!!

Lindsay continues to amaze me. Her ability to hone in on the one missing element within a complex story is amazing. I continue to have 'a ha' moments with her great suggestions. She is so very talented. We are all fortunate that she is willing to share her talents!

Lindsay was smart, to the point, careful, enthusiastic, informed, very focused and...just smart. For the time I employed her, she was efficient and delivered really helpful feedback. I would highly encourage someone to work with her!

I am so happy that I chose Lindsay to edit my memoir. Her suggestions are spot on and have helped me immensely. She is professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her for your editing.

Loved working with Lindsay. I'm on my second project with her. She's always polite and receiving of my thoughts and direction. Her critiques are on point. Recommend to anyone for a development Edit/review, etc.

Lindsay was the consummate professional throughout the entire editing process and gave me wonderful ideas on how to maximize my manuscript.

Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate Lindsay. She was able to give me a foundation and a direction with my project. I am a super novice writer and did not know what to do after the writing was done. Lindsay opened my eyes and filled me with useful information that was invaluable. Thank you again!

Lindsay was a great help. She had fabulous ideas that added a great deal of continuity to the entire manuscript. She was very kind in her constructive feedback, and that was greatly appreciated for this author neophyte.

Great experience, thank you Lindsay. Very thorough and helpful, just what was needed.

I received excellent and timely work from Lindsay. She was clear and checked in with me with any questions concerns. I loved the adjustments and recommendations she made. I'd use her again. Thank you, Lindsay.

Professional, diligent to the sympathy of the writer's style and intent of the manuscript.

Lindsay went above and beyond to give me a thorough and insightful manuscript evaluation. She was also communicative and flexible at every step of the process. I would recommend her services to anyone!

I have used Lindsay for two collaborations. Her work is exceptional! She worked her "magic" on my query letter then did the same for my synopsis. As a result, both were now much improved. I plan to use her for any editing project I may have in the future. Highly recommended!!

Lindsay gave me exactly the feedback I needed to move my memoir into top shape. She helped me step back from my very personal story when the fear was interfering. She was direct about what needed improving structurally, she pointed out areas where the drama needed to be enhanced and was encouraging where warranted. I would hire her again for a developmental edit, anytime.

Lindsay has been great to work with. She’s a great communicator and was exactly on time with the edit. She responded to all of my questions very quickly. Her comments and encouragement were wonderful. I really feel like she has my best interest in mind.

Lindsay is thorough, prompt, and gives truly honest feedback. She got to the heart of the matter right away in the content editing of my book, and gave me many tips on successful creative writing. I would hire her again!

Lindsay is an excellent editor. She is very detail-oriented, her comments and suggested edits are extremely thoughtful, and her knowledge of the field is evident. My manuscript has improved ten-fold since working with her, and I'd jump at the chance to work with her again.

Lindsay is undoubtedly the ideal editor to entrust with your manuscript. Her expertise has played a pivotal role in shaping my work, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the invaluable input she has provided throughout this project.

One of the most remarkable qualities about Lindsay is her ability to offer honest and refreshing feedback. She possesses a keen eye for detail and never hesitates to highlight both the strengths and areas that require improvement. Her constructive criticism has been instrumental in pushing me to refine my ideas and craft a stronger narrative. Lindsay's guidance has provided me with a clear vision on how to enhance the overall quality of my work. She goes beyond mere corrections and offers valuable insights that elevate the manuscript to new heights.

Lindsay is an outstanding editor who is dedicated to the success of her clients. Trusting her with my manuscript has been one of the best decisions I've made.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to any author seeking a skilled and insightful editor who will elevate their writing to new heights.

Thank you, Lindsay, for your exceptional guidance and for helping me bring my vision to life.

My name is Dr. William A. Pena. I am a board-certified pediatric dentist and entrepreneur. I found Lindsay's website and I am so happy that I did. She did a manuscript review of my work and her feedback was extremely valuable. She is intuitive, candid, and very encouraging. I look forward to continuing the process with Lindsay in completing my memoir and hopefully getting a traditional book deal. Thank you, Lindsay, for all your help and support!
