Author Testimonials
“Lauren's edits were instrumental in helping me begin the revision process for my thesis. She provided me with line edits and margin notes, so that my sentences felt more purposeful and my paragraphs had clearer direction.”
— Georgia Brown, MA and MLIS
“Lauren is a highly skilled editor, a warm and empathetic reader, and her suggestions are both generous and inventive. She’s got a sharp eye for detail at levels of both prose and interpretation; her careful reading makes her able to inhabit a story for its own ambitions, concerns, and aesthetics, so that she can guide it toward the best and clearest version of itself—rather than trying to fit it into pre-prescribed boxes of what we know “successful” stories to look like.”
— Molly Gutman, agented author
“Lauren provided valuable feedback for my work! She helped me realize what was effective in my writing and what I could reorganize on my specific project. Her observations led me to present my information more organically, which has helped me shape future writing projects.”
