“I recently enlisted Naomi’s copy editing skills to help me prepare my memoir for pitching to agents. Not surprisingly, they went far beyond just proofreading. As an avid reader and gifted writer, Naomi had invaluable advice to share when it came to my sample chapters. Not only did they recommend a significantly better way to arrange the narrative, they broke me out of my comfort zone and encouraged me to ramp up dialogue and vulnerability in places where I was holding back. This direction helped me find my voice quickly and effectively, and before long I hit my writer’s stride and started writing with more confidence and speed. I can’t thank Naomi enough!

My experience working with Naomi prior to this was in the corporate world, so I took a risk trusting them with my very personal story. When I asked Naomi to help with my synopsis, they read through my extensive notes and very efficiently wrote a beautiful and thoughtful summary of what my book is about, capturing the heart and soul of the project, even highlighting some perspectives I hadn’t considered myself. 

Naomi could have a future as a book editor if that’s a direction they want to take, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to fully endorse them in such an endeavor.”
