"Marti has been my editor close to 20 years. I contribute much of my success to her. Every time she sends a manuscript back, it's clear to see the tremendous amount of time and attention to detail she has put into editing it. The quality is above reproach, and her fees are beyond fair. She also has this astounding way of remembering every detail in the plot. For example, she'd left a note on page 357 telling me that a particular word didn't line up with what I said on page 72. I thought to myself, "How did she catch that?'"
Michelle Dwyer (Krymzen Hall), author of Intimate Nightmares
“As a first-time author, I found that Marti was extremely helpful in all aspects of editing my manuscript. Her structure and composition advice were real assets in getting my novel, Asesina, published and I would recommend her to any novelist. She was highly professional and very timely in completing her editing assignment, which I also appreciated."
Craig Keffeler, author of Asesina
“Marti provides very helpful suggestions and insight during her editing process. She makes notes on why she's making the suggestions and her notes and editorial work make it clear that she genuinely cares for the piece through her contributions to its overall improvement. Thank you!”
Mahdi H., author of short stories
Marti provides exemplary, personable, professional services, tailored to my specific needs. Her rates are competitive, yet the quality of her work is priceless. I plan to use her services for all my future projects.
J.D. Blood, author of The House of Sin
“Marti has edited three of my screenplays. Her content feedback is insightful, productive, straightforward and consumable. She supportively delivers the news that further develops a story. Her line edits are meticulous and stay out of the way of the author’s voice. I’m a better writer for having Marti’s input. I’ll go nowhere else.”
