“Shannon was fantastic and I would highly recommend her services to other authors. She was happy to work with me on budget and was super responsive to my initial and subsequent communications which I really appreciated. She also delivered exactly what she promised, to an excellent standard. The tone of her advice was really professional and constructive, and I really appreciated her mix of positivity, along with the recommended improvements. The level of detail in her comments revealed that she really invested herself in my story, and as a result she was able to identify nuances and subtleties that went beyond immediate issues. I am so appreciative for her time and effort. I shopped around for a good editor for ages, and Shannon was everything she advertised herself to be and more.”

“Shannon was wonderful! She tackled my 200k [-word] manuscript and really brought a polish to it, while also helping to keep an eye out for any inconsistencies that slipped through the cracks. She was thorough and communicative and had a great sense of humor. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

“This is my third time working with Shannon, and as long as I am writing, she will be my editor of choice. Working with Shannon was an absolute gift. Shannon elevated my manuscript far beyond what I imagined with a sharp eye for detail, a deep respect for my voice, and an uncanny ability to untangle plot knots I hadn’t even noticed. Her encouragement, insight, and professionalism made the editing process not only smooth but truly inspiring. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

- Janet A. Brown

“Working with Shannon was the best decision I've made so far. She was meticulous, pointed out any possible confusion, and snagged the small errors my previous editor missed. Shannon's communication was fantastic, responding promptly to messages, and was very clear when she asked a question or explained a grammar rule within her editing. I will definitely work with Shannon again.”

- K. M. Laumann

“Working with Shannon is wonderful, as always. She edited my first book and I've made sure to share with her the reviews of high praise I've received when they specifically mention the editing. Shannon edited my second book in a timely manner and all her feedback is on point. With every recommendation, I can see my manuscript becoming better and more polished. I look forward to working with her again on my next manuscript.”

Shannon is an incredible partner to have in the publishing process! She is conscientious, thoughtful, encouraging and diligent. I have worked with her on all four books in my cozy mystery series, and I can't imagine using anyone else. She has become an integral part of my process and I think she is absolutely fantastic!

- T. E. Harkins

Absolutely wonderful, A+ experience working with Shannon! Can hardly wait to write my next book so I can hurry up and work with her again. xo!

- Marion McNabb

10 out of 10 for my experience working with Shannon! Communication was excellent, she explained up front exactly what services she would provide and even edited my submitted sample to show what her own edits would entail. Her feedback is very detailed and she identified so many small discrepancies and details I would never have caught on my own. Her comments are very insightful and direct, but feedback is gentle. The character notes and chapter index she provided with my returned manuscript were so comprehensive and extremely helpful. I am thrilled with my returned manuscript as my story flows so much better. I highly recommend Shannon for your copy editing needs!

- Dee Blankenship

This is my third time working with Shannon, and she continues to impress me. She’s professional, reliable, and always delivers on time. Her attention to detail is amazing—she caught a subtle change in the spelling of a character's name in my latest manuscript that I would have completely overlooked. I’ll definitely keep working with her on future projects.

- Jenifer Goldin

OMG Shannon is the best, best copy editor I have ever had the pleasure working with! If you book her copy edit, you hardly need a proofread…she is that thorough. Thank you so much, Shannon! She pointed out inconsistencies in my story, even kept track of sometimes diffuse timelines (shame on me), paid special attention to the rules in my fantasy world (fairies can’t lie, so it makes it tricky sometimes to decide what they can and can’t say thanks to those rules) — Shannon really noticed every tiny issue. Even if characters stand the wrong way while talking — a thing you would never realise — be sure she does and points it out! Shannon, the biggest thank you to you! You are a necessity for every writer! I’m looking forward to working with you on the sequel!

- Alexandra Thomashoff

I knew from the moment I read Shannon's proposal, outlining what she would do and how she worked, that she was an editor I wanted to work with. I wasn't disappointed. Shannon provided me with invaluable insights and feedback on my manuscript, while always maintaining the utmost respect for my work. As I work on this latest draft, Shannon's thoughtful comments and suggestions are helping me go to a deeper level in my writing. Shannon is a talented editor and clearly dedicated to helping writers develop and discover their best work.

- Norma Murphy

It is hard for me to imagine putting my novel project in the hands of anybody else for copy editing. Shannon was excellent. She was quick and extremely thorough. Her feedback was very well worth the cost of the service. I highly recommend Shannon. I will definitely use her editorial services again.
