The way she helps me shift a phrase or flip like a pancake a struggling paragraph inspires me to reach higher. Laura gets my voice! Her ability to listen at that deeper level is a superpower.

Laura has been invaluable to me. She’s an intelligent reader and editor who catches on quickly to my intentions even when I hand her a mess of a draft. With a few pointed questions, she gets it and allows me to achieve greater clarity. She is willing to spend the time to talk through plot, character, blocking, and even minor details that can stop a story in its tracks. Laura is ready with encouraging feedback in her notes as well as ready to get to the point with fair, clear and constructive criticism.
Author & Editor
Nope. I focus on sentence-level clarity, polishing, proofreading, line editing, and beta reading. I do not diagnose story structure or provide developmental revisions.
Absolutely—at the level of a tech-savvy layperson who uses the same software you do. But I’m not an IT professional.
Not all. If you write horror, I wish you well on your terrifying journeys, but I do not read in your genre. I can only offer you non-manuscript support.
Project work is available only for ongoing retainer clients so I can offer quality without overbooking.
With a friendly call where we get to know each other and discuss your needs, goals, and preferred working style.
