“I’ve worked with other editors, but Crystal has proven herself to be among the best! Not only did she catch all those annoying grammatical errors, but she found inconsistencies in descriptions and details from the story that other early readers had missed. Her work is professional, quick, and incredibly thorough. I highly recommend her!”
D.K. Holmberg, fantasy author
Writing and editing resources
Access tons of resources on writing, editing, conscious language, and representation, as well as interviews with indie authors. You can also learn more about the Conscious Language Toolkits for Editors and Writers and my self-paced course for editors called “Editing for Conscious and Inclusive Language.”
“Crystal is like a copy editor, continuity checker, sensitivity reader, and cheerleader all rolled into one. She was kind, clear, and thorough during every step of the process. As a developmental editor myself, it was so wonderful to know the manuscript was in the hands of someone I could trust to give their full effort and attention. Crystal is definitely my go-to editor now, and I look forward to working with her more in the future!”
Diane Callahan, Quotidian Writer
