Testimonials

"Ari is absolutely wonderful! I hired her to proofread my story, a dark science fantasy with deep world-building. The tale had already been through critiques and edits, and Ari still found places to tighten and clean. She’s got such a keen editor’s eye and anyone would be lucky to have her pass through their story. Hire her!"​

K. J. Harrowick, Author of LIGHT BEYOND THE GLASS

"What truly sets Ari apart is her dedication to nurturing my unique style in a kind constructive way. I was nervous because this is my first short story and English isn't my first language, but she made me feel safe and comfortable making mistakes. She didn't just edit. She mentored me, guided me, and taught me how to dig deep into my characters and world. With her guidance, my story transformed into something I'm incredibly proud of."

Suzy Tan, Emerging Writer

"Hiring an editor can be a costly endeavor. It can take a decent chunk of time as well. Both of which a self-publishing author can feel short on most of the time, but after a sample edit I felt much more confident investing time and money with Ari. Not only is she pleasant in her communications, her editing style was just what I needed and wanted. Being the type of person that I am, I wanted direct, honest critiques, but I'm kind of on the sensitive side. Ari was able to weave together feedback that was valuable, and congenial without being coddling. Her remarks on my manuscript were detailed and, my favorite part, she took time to explain why she felt a certain change would be beneficial. There were not evaluations on my work. There was only story craft. I learned a lot from the edits she produced. I am confident that the next story will be much improved because of Ari's instruction and feedback."

Scott Petty, Author of THE PHANTASTICAL TALE OF ASTER & HIS RED GEM

"Ari has a fantastic way to invite writers to give it another go. She cares about intended meaning and suggests other perspectives to decisions that don't ring ideal, but always keeping power and choice on the writer. Working alongside Ari as your editor is ensuring your grasp over your own universe and story. Her process for more complicated things is closer to a curious, honest conversation, so as to better understand the universe at work. She is always easy to reach and a joy to work with just as often."

Bernardo Álvarez Monjaras, Author of ELDRITCH CENTURY: THE DEPTHS & LORDS OF VAALA

"Ari has this beautiful way of pointing out problems in my MS without discouraging me or making me feel like a "bad writer". More than just a good editor, she's supportive. Like a cheerleader, she gets me excited and ready to write! Her suggestions are so clear and concise, but if I still have questions she's there to brainstorm with a bounce ideas off. I've had three rewrites on my current MS and I am so happy with the end result, which I know I wouldn't have without Ari. I'm so happy with it! And it's because of her."

Erin Wilkerson, Author of RESONATE

"Y'all, Ari is a phenomenal editor. She brought to my attention what wasn't working in my MS in such a respectful manner while giving me ideas to solve the issues. She nailed it. Like... she gave me glasses and suddenly I can see. That good."

Crystal J. Bell, Author of Upcoming Release, THE LAMPLIGHTER (Spring 2024)

"Ari is an AMAZING EDITOR! If you need an editor - you know, the kind that gets everything in one sweep, the kind that makes you cry because they get your book and preserve your style, the kind that gets to the heart - She's AMAZING!"

Jennifer Burrows, Hunted by Darkness
