Praise

Nancy’s one of the best professionals I’ve worked with in years. As an editor, she excels at communication, her work is thorough, and she offered some genuinely great feedback. But all of that is expected when hiring a professional. What wasn’t expected were the follow-up emails, the congratulations message on release day, and the genuine care she displayed for my work long after she’d already been paid. That personal attention and follow-up is really what makes the experience of working with Nancy special.

— Alan Lastufka, author of the multiple award-winning horror/thriller, “Face the Night”
