"From the outset, Tayler was brilliant at communicating. She checked with what was important to me, including my goals and concerns. The feedback she gave me was both delightful and useful—she let me know what worked well and also flagged the errors we'd agreed on. I know a big concern for a lot of people is maintaining their 'voice' in the story—Tayler's feedback is highly sensitive and targeted to maintain and enhance author voice.
Absolutely would recommend Tayler's services. If you're unsure, please, ask her for a sample edit. She's lovely, approachable, and a dream to work with."
