I credit Tanya's editing with the reason my manuscript sold to a traditional publisher. She especially helped me dig deep to create memorable characters, and it meant a lot to me that I knew I could always rely on her encouragement when things got tough. Tanya has a special talent for teasing out the heart of a story -- I have no doubt she can do the same for yours!

Good editors ask questions, seeking not to put their stamp on a story but to guide an author’s work to its best possible expression. By this measure, Tanya is an outstanding editor.

Tanya walked me through editing my novel, pulling it apart and putting it back together again - an experience akin to piecing together a jigsaw puzzle with the image face-down - all while being a joy to work with. I was so grateful for her guidance. She helped draw the best out of both me and my story, helping to shape it into the award-winner it became.
