TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“I got lost as I was attempting to respond to the [publishing house] readers’ range of comments. Natalia’s editing skills and thorough comments were instrumental in helping guide me back to my voice and my book’s central focus. I cannot recommend her enough!”
L.T.
“For my book manuscript on photographic portrayals of the ocean in contemporary art, the editors have provided me with revisions that do more than technical, copy-edits. Their questions and comments led me to think further, and to better understand the significance of my scholarship—an editing job that not many authors would be lucky enough to enjoy. ”
H.O.
“You gave me great feedback on how to turn my chapter into an article, when it seemed like there was no end in sight, and helped me though how to approach the problems mentally. I appreciate your consideration for those with limited funds for professional development who can greatly benefit from working with you.”

Statement of values: We welcome as clients authors of all backgrounds. We are especially interested in providing our services to writers from marginalized groups, including racialized minorities, LGBTQIA+ people, disabled, and poor authors. We have and will continue to work with authors from majority and privileged groups, and we understand that an author under contract to an institution is often not responsible for the institution’s political actions. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any author who, institution that, or author funded by an organization that supports, explicitly or tacitly, white supremacy, imperialism, or other forms of oppression, as we see it and at our sole discretion, without notice, refund, or recourse.
For more on our relationship to authors facing marginalization and institutional roadblocks, see the FAQ.
