Expert editors for dedicated writers.
If you’re looking for a guide through the gnarly wilds of book revision, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the inner sanctum.
Whether you’re submitting to agents or planning to indie publish, your book needs to be clean, compelling, and ready to rumble. You don’t have to know everything to become a good writer — you just need a great editor. As Hemingway said, “It’s none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.”
When writers don’t have reliable feedback, they have no way of knowing how their work measures up. We’ve been helping authors improve their style and storytelling for the past ten years, and we would be honored to help you hit your stride.

Testimonials
Meghan pushed when I needed a kick in the butt and praised when I deserved it. I felt overwhelmed at times, but I survived. One of the best things I learned was how to read my own book honestly. As I told her, “You make me feel like a real writer.”

After a very long day, I had the chance to read Matthew’s critique. I almost cried at the beginning when he wrote the whole premise of the book. I shouted, “He gets it.” Seeing all the problems on paper made me realize I have a lot of work to do. I can’t wait to start writing.
