Testimonials.

“George was amazing to work with as he helped to edit my epic fantasy. He was professional, courteous with his review, fast, and, most importantly, his comments on my work helped me to "re-vision" my work in ways that were important to the story I was telling and the world I was creating. Anyone would be lucky to work with him, especially marginalized writers.”
-Jamar J. Perry, Author of the Cameron Battle series (Bloomsbury, 2022)

“George kindly offered to edit the first chapter of my novel and his line-editing skills along with helpful compassionate notes of advice are brilliant. He has the perfect balance of critique and praise. After he had edited my work, I had a clear direction of where to go and I felt confident going forward. I highly recommend George, he is amazing and on top of being a great editor, he also does it professionally and with care.”
-Janelle McCurdy, Published Author

“George can take your manuscript to the next level. His skills are what anyone would want from an editor, from line edits that make the story flow more smoothly, to character development that make characters pop out of the pages, and to bigger pictures and concepts. George is very understanding of the writing process and will collaborate to bring your vision to light while giving you valuable tips with his knowledge of the writing/publishing industry. And, of course, there is George’s positivity that will encourage and motivate you to keep pushing forward. As someone who’d sought George’s advice numerous times, I can only gush about his generosity and skills. George has been there at every step of my writing career. I am so happy to say that I am now an agented writer, and I wouldn’t be here today without George’s help!”
-LQ Nguyen, Agented Author
