What our clients say about us

Nela did a developmental edit on my debut fantasy novel. Her advice has been extremely helpful, and she approached my book with respect. Her advice has always been in line with the overall theme and the direction I wanted to take with the story. She caught plot holes and contradicting details I didn’t even know I had. She understood my characters and their motivation to incredible extent. Helped me out a great deal, and was open to questions throughout the entire process. Will contact her again!

Nela is an incredibly insightful and helpful beta reader. Not only did she provide detailed feedback on my mystery manuscript, including questions about loose ends and plot holes, but she also offered constructive suggestions to strengthen the story. She was fast in her response and her feedback demonstrated a deep understanding of my characters and their motivation. Her thoroughness and insight greatly surpassed my expectations.

A.H. Gilbert

I can't say enough good things about Nela's work on my manuscript, The Angel. Nela was extremely communicative-she responded to emails quickly, reached out with updates, and in general was available when I needed to reach her. In addition, the work she did on my manuscript (a developmental edit that went beyond to a partial copy edit), went beyond my expectations! Not only did she deliver to me a point by point report on the plot, character arc, etc., she also included great suggestions on how to advance the story, shorten the word count, and much more--25 pages in total. And that was in addition to the thorough mark-up of my manuscript as well!

I researched a lot of editors before I hired Nela, and I'm so glad I went with her. If you're considering hiring a developmental or copy/line editor, and you're wondering whether to trust Nela with your work, look no further--honestly--book her today. You'll be glad you did!

Nela was incredible. She responded quickly, her services were really clear, and she delivered within the timeline.
Not only was her feedback really thorough, it was also very thoughtful and constructive. She gave insight into each of her suggestions, and provided examples using my own text. The feedback was actionable, instructive, and kind. It is clear she has strong experience. Her analysis and critique of my characters was spot on and super useful, not only for revising this novel, but for planning the character arc across the series. I cannot recommend her enough!

Jessi Stein

Nela did an excellent job reading my first chapter. Her comments were spot on and she thought of obvious omissions that would have never occurred to me. I can recommend Nela. Thank you!

A.M. Storm

Nela's feedback was amazing! It was honest and very helpful. Nela gives great feedback both as a reader perspective, but also as an editor. In my case, Nela helped a lot with pointing out the parts where I could show more than tell and transform my first chapter into an immersive experience.

Blanka H. Madow, author of Mother of Pearl

Nela has been an incredible resource in reviewing my manuscript. I cannot emphasize enough how her attention to detail and thoughtful feedback in the beta reader analysis helped sharpen my story. Nela has been a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services.

"I think we tend to forget how amazing it is to write a book. A whole book. You created a whole world and characters from nothing but ether, caffeine, spite, and a sprinkling of carpal tunnel and that deserves to be celebrated."
