Testimonials
“Amanda is an extraordinarily talented editor. She has a finely honed ear for language, an intuitive understanding of structure, and a sharp eye for those tiny details that turn an ordinary piece of writing into something truly professional. On a personal level, Amanda is always wonderful to work with. She's supportive, positive, and able to give difficult feedback in a sensitive and diplomatic way. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
— Sara Ciesielski, science writer
“I appreciate Amanda’s warmth and calming energy. Anytime I felt anxious about my work, hearing her take on the situation reassured me and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. The fact that I didn’t lose hope and persisted through those challenges is, in no small measure, a credit to her and the conversations we had together. Thank you, Amanda!”
— Majo, writer
“You are amazing! Thank you so much for the brilliant feedback….You articulated things I was trying to do but didn't know how to say (or write!) and picked up on things I wasn't aware I was doing but I was? Your feedback was exactly what I was looking for—objective, thorough, and so so so SMART!!! I really appreciate you and the time and energy you put into the essay. All your comments were great and made me laugh, esp. the “nitpicky” ones—that's exactly what I needed. Your insight has been invaluable!”
— Ying, writer and editor
“Amanda is the first editor who really made me feel good about my work—she treated me and my writing with respect, and I felt she was genuinely excited about my work and really wanted to help me get it into the best shape possible. Her editing style has greatly influenced my own; I often think, ‘What would Amanda do?’”
