Lindsay is knowledgeable, insightful, and energizing! I felt she was truly interested in my work. She asked me questions that helped me present my experience, and shape my proposal, in ways I would not have otherwise. She answered all my questions, both detail and big picture. I hope I will get to work with her again soon.

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.

Her understanding of the industry and her ability to identify what resonates with readers are truly exceptional. Her commitment to providing comprehensive feedback is evident in the detailed and thoughtful comments she provides. She invests herself in the work and displays a genuine passion for helping authors succeed. Her invaluable expertise and knowledge of the industry have been instrumental in my growth as a writer. She has a deep understanding of current trends, market expectations, and storytelling techniques that engage readers. Her guidance has not only improved the quality of my manuscript but has also sharpened my skills as a writer.

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.

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

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 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.
Stacy C.
Lindsay was fantastic! She asked powerful questions that helped me get clearer on the direction I want to take my book. I left our consulting call with more energy to move onto next steps, which include a book proposal and query letter. I feel grateful for her clear direction and insights! Thank you, Lindsay.

Lindsay's involvement changed everything. She helped us with the query letter and book proposal, and then guided us through each interaction with agents to maximize our chances – in the end, we received multiple agent offers!
Sarah Sapora
Author of Soul Archeology
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!
Connie Neeley
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!
Lacy Sposato
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.
William Pena
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!
Mark Brouker

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.

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!
Marilyn Slominski
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.
Dana Killion
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.
Jess Davis
Author of Raising Hell, Living Well
Lindsay jumped in with both feet on a very tight deadline. She was wonderful to work with. Not only did she turn things around in 24 hours but went above and beyond the scope to make sure I felt sure-footed in my next steps. I cannot wait to work with her again.
Marshall Marshall
Lindsay is very professional. Her analysis of my query letter was exactly what I needed to improve my chances to finding an agent. I would recommend her for most any writing assignment you have. She's the best!
Lisa Fabish
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.
Connie Neeley
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!
Karin Swann-Rubenstein
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!
kathryn stamoulis
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to work with Lindsay. She connected with my material, was prompt in responding, and gave me invaluable feedback. She vastly improved my query letter and provided me with added confidence as I pursue the query process. Looking forward to working with her in the future!
T. Scheufler
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!
Heather Hiett
Owner, H2Productions
My name is Heather Hiett. I'm working on a memoir about surfing and photography. As is the case with writing, I've rewritten the manuscript more times than I can remember. I've submitted it for developmental reviews many times. The manuscript kept getting better, but I knew it needed the eye of an editor who focussed primarily on editing and who'd worked in traditional publishing. After investing so much time and effort already, why stop before it had reached its optimal state? I want the manuscript to be solid, so solid that a lit agent suffering indigestion on a Monday morning says, "I like this. I think we have something here." Lindsay's feedback was exactly what I needed. It was spot on, surgical, and kind. Not only do I know what needs to be addressed, but why. As I turn back to the manuscript, I feel equipped to revise with confidence. I'm extremely grateful for her guidance and can't recommend her highly enough!
Leigh Wulff
So far, I've had one call with Lindsay to discuss publishing options for an upcoming book, and she has already been an incredible resource! Lindsay is warm and personable and made me feel comfortable right away. She is also prompt, professional, and knowledgeable as all heck! Her experience in the publishing industry is a major plus - she gave me so much valuable guidance and information that I was glad I type 90 words per minute so that I could get it all down! I look forward to continuing to work with Lindsay. It is well worth it :).
Heather Rivers
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!
Sharon Bennett
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.
Marshall Marshall
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!!
Dan Kelsey
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.

Ronald Haake
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.
Jenifer Goldin
Lindsay agreed to review my first chapter. She was professional and timely. Her feedback was insightful. Her edits to my first chapter are already pushing me to expand my narrative in ways that will benefit telling this story. I have decided to have her edit my entire manuscript.
Ralph Schneideman
Professional, diligent to the sympathy of the writer's style and intent of the manuscript.
Leigh Schmitz
Lindsay was efficient and professional.
Rod Hogan
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!
Chris Orlando
Lindsay was the consummate professional throughout the entire editing process and gave me wonderful ideas on how to maximize my manuscript.
Bridget McNicholas

Lindsay has been a joy to work with. She provided a review on the first two chapters of my novel. As a novice writer inexperienced with the editing process, I had a lot of questions, and Lindsay provided a detailed explanation of her process upfront. She was professional, prompt, and pointed out issues and potential pitfalls that I hadn't thought about. Her feedback was supportive and encouraging and included both the strengths and weaknesses she saw. She answered my follow-up questions promptly and thoroughly, and I would definitely recommend her.

Billy Pernell
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.

Negar Marazzi
Lindsay has done a great job in guiding me and writing a query letter and offering a very valuable and thorough pitching consultation. I would gladly work with her again, and I am sure that if I find a matching agent, it will be thanks to her valuable input.
Chris Orlando
Lindsay was professional and timely in her sage advice about all things related to writing, pitching, and publishing. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to take another step further towards achieving their goal of being a writer.
Billy Pernell
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!!!!
Strobe Witherspoon
Insightful and thorough. Lindsay was very timely and efficient in our exchanges. She demonstrated significant understanding of the industry and delivered that information with admirable candor and clarity.

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.
