    This was my second gig with Laura and I know I will be coming back for more. She was easy to communicate with and her editing notes were thorough, detailed and clear. On top of all that, she delivered ahead of schedule.

    Laura has gone above and beyond; she has truly transformed my work, turning it from a disaster into something readable, and she certainly had her work cut out for her. She has been an immense help with all her advice and comments. Thankyou so much

    I highly recommend working with Laura! She was communicative, professional and kind from start to finish, and even sent my dev edits back early - giving me lots of time to process and improve on my book. This book is my first adult romcom and I'm optimistic the polished version will shine even more!
