“How do I begin to tell the story of what Leslie did for my book? The simple truth goes much deeper than words on a page, into how she sees a project from every angle. One of the best things about working with her was how easy it was to incorporate her edits and suggestions. More than that, she cares about my success.”
-Brian C.

“I feel so fortunate to have worked with Leslie on my novel! I’d nearly completed my first draft but was frozen with uncertainty as to what to do next. I knew there were problems with my manuscript, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong. Leslie's assistance was invaluable; she provided extensive feedback, all delivered with great care and kindness. She pointed out things about my work that I couldn’t possibly have seen, and her questions and comments were thought-provoking.
I’m so grateful for the insightful inline comments Leslie made in my document, the detailed letter she provided explaining all of her suggestions, and the Zoom call where she put me at ease and answered any questions I had.
I feel much more confident now as to what to do as I start the revision process. If my novel ends up in print, I will have Leslie to thank for guiding me through this crucial phase!”
