“I don’t think I’ve ever had a reader who is able to zoom out quite so expansively while zooming in so precisely. The experience of working with Sarah was invaluable—her attention to minute detail as well as big-picture questions, real understanding of the passion behind my work and what I see as its stakes, and total professionalism and warmth from beginning to end.”

“If you are looking for an editor who can make your manuscript sing in the most important ways, you should definitely use Sarah. She helped me better foreground and articulate my main contribution to a broader audience. Academic writing can get narrow and technical, but pushing me to think more clearly about my argument and audience was extremely beneficial. I like how she challenged my ideas and writing in the areas that mattered most, while also making concrete suggestions for how to improve my writing at the sentence level. It is hard to strike that balance and I appreciate her expertise.”

“I was delighted to discover that academic developmental editors exist, and I was looking forward to working with one on my manuscript. Sarah is organized, professional, responds in a timely manner, communicates clearly and effectively, and provides generous, helpful feedback. As a result of our work together, my manuscript is now in the best possible shape it can be in prior to the peer review process.”

I really feel like I have a clear pathway to completing my manuscript, thanks to Sarah’s comments and feedback at the line, chapter, and project level. She was a great listener when we initially discussed the project, and throughout I was really impressed by the practical suggestions she made. I think maybe academics are used to giving feedback on each others work, but without the skill of an editor to offer concrete suggestions on ways to improve the work. Working with Sarah made me really appreciative of the work of professional editors, who are able to give a totally different level of insight, and pathways forward, on a project.

“Sarah gives your work the amount of attention, scrutiny, and encouragement that others in academia should give, but don’t.”
