Proofreading has never been my strong suit, and in the midst of all the other hecticness of publishing a book, it was so freeing to be able to put my book in Austin’s hands and have it returned right on time, with all my punctuation marks in the right places, and misused words corrected. She’s a dream to work with, and I’ll definitely be trusting her with all my future projects.

If you’re looking for someone to help turn the story of your heart into a masterpiece that will stand the test of time, then look no further. Austin is everything in an editor that you never knew you needed.
Super smart, incredibly kind and generous with her wisdom, working with Austin not only ensures that the editing process will be incredibly effective but fun as well!
She is the queen of under promising and over delivering. Austin provides fantastic resources and examples, useful feedback and positive praise. My personal favorite is how Austin uses your own work to reference examples of where you did things well in your story so that you can use that to improve the areas that need a little extra love. This makes it so much easier to wrap your head around, because of course, you understand your own work the best!
Austin is great at answering, and often, anticipating any questions you may have. Her communication is fantastic. She is a true professional but still totally down to earth. I can’t imagine a better person to work with in your author journey. Austin has an artist’s soul, and she truly brings out the best in your writing.
Did my books benefit from working with Austin? I think the answer is obvious by now. But more importantly, I became a better writer. That is priceless. Thank you, Austin!

I learned so very much in reviewing your edit notes on just these few pages! Everything is useful and I already feel like you’ve helped me grow!
The biggest takeaway is the overall “show, not tell” concept. For me, to get away from explaining and focus more on describing is huge, and something I’ve caught myself considering every time I start writing.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Being a writer and author is a never-ending learning experience, but Austin makes it way easier. The communication is undoubtedly good, she makes sure nothing slips from the writer. Austin delivers! My personal experience with her was amazing. Austin turns something raw into something beautiful with her suggestions and guides you as to why she is making them. Working with her was amazing and I can’t wait to keep putting my manuscripts in her hands.
I’m honored and can’t thank her enough for her help!
