Lisa Fellinger | Editor & Book Coach

[Lisa] made it very easy and comfortable for this nervous first-time author! I had already revised my manuscript and gotten outside feedback from beta readers, but it needed a professional eye. As soon as I saw Lisa’s developmental edit of my document, I knew she was as invested as I am in making my story shine. She carefully went through the entire manuscript, offering detailed feedback and suggestions, calling out inconsistencies and plot holes, and helping me weed out sections that didn’t serve the story. Through the entire manuscript, the quality of Lisa’s feedback never once wavered. Her insights helped bring out the best of my story, and she was so kind throughout the entire process. And then, in addition to her edit of the entire manuscript, she reviewed 25 revised pages, which was a great opportunity for me to make sure that I was on the right track with my revisions. I would very highly recommend Lisa, and I look forward to working with her on future projects!

Lisa is an outstanding developmental editor. I’m astonished by her talent of seeing details and the big picture at the same time in a project of this magnitude. Not only does she give her opinion for content changes, but she takes the time to provide ideas as well, going the extra mile. I could tell how much she cared about my book and feel I have the best possible first step in my publishing process. She has set me up for success.

Lisa has a great eye for what makes a manuscript work: tension, conflict, pacing, character arc...you name it. She gave specific feedback and suggestions in places where something wasn't working, all with a positive, helpful approach. In addition to her in-line notes, she provided a multi-page developmental edit summary. Highly recommend working with Lisa!

Lisa helped me identify the parts of my manuscript that weren't working, and offered great advice for how to rework them. She gave me big picture feedback, as well as smaller pieces of advice for specific areas that were confusing, inconsistent with the characters' personalities, or unnecessary to the story. She also shared invaluable resources with me that will help further my knowledge about the craft.
