Testimonials

“I’ve been in writing groups for years and gotten plenty of notes from plenty of super smart people. The thing that sets Sara apart is that she looks at story from all angles: The macro levels of structure/theme/character arcs/world building, as well as more subtle but essential qualities like character complexity and voice. She also has a deep understanding of language and its rhythms. Sara translated all her insights into clear, actionable notes on my novel that are helping me to vastly improve the new draft.”

“Sara is an excellent writer herself. Not only is she able to apply overall story structure and scene structure in her own writing, but she is able to analyze it in the writing of others. She has given me invaluable feedback on several novels in different genres. She is able to articulate what is and isn’t working in the overall story and in individual scenes.”

“I enjoy working with Sara! She has been instrumental in helping me identify plot holes and adjust the scene sequence in my project. Her approach is one of curiosity and thoughtfulness.”

“Insightful. Thorough. Trustworthy. As a first time author, the fear I had sharing my work was quickly put to rest with Sara. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, capable of addressing the big picture down to the line level. Consistently, she provided a refreshing lens to sticky areas of my project while also raising questions that created new spaces for me to explore. All of it I’m grateful for and know it’s helped place my project in the strongest position as I prepare for the query process.”

“Sara went above and beyond with her suggestions and attentiveness to my story. She asked great questions and gave me a lot of actionable advice. She is definitely top tier among people I have worked with. I felt like she really cared about the work that she did and gave me personalized advice. A very positive experience with a skilled editor.”
