Client Testimonials

  • I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust anyone else with copy editing my work ever again, because of the gold standard that Sam has set for it.

  • His desire to help the story be the best it could be was at the core of every comment and change he suggested. His feedback has dramatically improved the manuscript at hand, but his advice already helped to progress the next story and my writing as a whole. This book was made better by his editing. My next book will benefit as well.

  • Working with Sam was great! He was very meticulous and I felt like my manuscript was taken to a much more professional level after I went through his edits. He also kept me up to date on everything and made everything very easy as he went through the process, which I really appreciated.

  • I'm so glad I found Sam. His edits really elevated my manuscript. He's transparent and easy to talk to, and gives updates along the way ensuring I was never left in the dark at any point. He gives kind and constructive feedback while also making sure to identify strong points. I would recommend Sam to any author who values these things and I've also booked him for my next book!

  • I couldn't be happier with my editing experience with Sam and would highly recommend him to other authors (especially first time and indie authors). Sam is a consummate professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a kind human being.

  • When Sam sent back my manuscript with the edits, I continued to be impressed with his level of detail and commitment. In addition to the copy/line edits and a style sheet, Sam also sent over an editing self-care guide. The self-care guide was so thoughtfully put together and included notes on my personal strengths as a writer. When I say I cried because I felt so validated as a writer? It was everything I never knew I needed, and helped me feel so confident when I opened up my manuscript to go through edits.

  • I was so nervous about sharing my manuscript with him because I’d never worked with an editor before, and I kept worrying that I was too new or that my work wasn’t ready for someone like him. But from the moment we started, he completely put me at ease. He was so kind, thoughtful, and encouraging—it made the whole experience feel really special.

  • Working with Sam was amazing! I've never had an editor encourage me the way he did. I loved reading through the comments too! The feedback was super helpful. I'm looking forward to working with Sam again in the future!

    Heather Kirchhoff

  • Sam is truly a wonderful editor to work with. It was my first time working with a professional editor, and he made the process so stress-free and easy. He was happy to work around my schedule, answered all of my questions, and was incredibly thorough with his edits! I loved that he took the time to explain why he made the suggestions he did—it helped me to learn and grow so much as a writer, and I still use the things I learned from his edits in all of the new manuscripts I’m writing! The editing self-care guide he provides with his edits is also such a huge emotional comfort and something I return to on days when I don’t feel confident in my skills as a writer. Sam isn’t just a great editor but an incredible person whose comments on my manuscript made me feel like he truly understood my vision for my story. Most of all, I felt safe and comfortable communicating with him, which as a marginalized author is a gift that can’t be overstated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any of my writer friends in need of an editor.

  • Working with Sam was honestly one of the best decisions I made for my book. He genuinely understood the story I was trying to tell and helped strengthen it without taking away my voice as a writer. His feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely constructive, especially when it came to small details I’d completely missed, character voices, and emotional impact. The whole process felt far more collaborative and supportive than intimidating, which was something I was honestly nervous about going into developmental edits. The manuscript is without a doubt much stronger because of his input, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend him to any writer looking for an editor who truly cares about both the story and the person behind it.
