Testimonials
I have been lucky to work with some amazing authors, who have taken the time to give their thoughts on my work.
'Stacey is a wizard. Seriously, I think she might have a magic wand hidden somewhere because she took my chaotic fantasy romance novel and turned it into something amazing. She somehow understood my creative brain and worked with me to make my story better without squashing my voice. She patiently encouraged me while sprinkling in edits with pure magic. If you want an editor who's equal parts genius and fairy godmother, look no further. She's the best-and probably secretly a superhero.'
Ireland Lydon - Author of 'Fate in Ruin'
'I couldn't recommend Stacey more highly! She's proofread two of my books (with more to come in the future) and has been an absolute dream to work with-flexible, affordable, and always responsive.
Her communication is excellent, and her sharp eye for detail has been invaluable in catching those final tweaks before I hit publish. Stacey is a true gem, and I'm so grateful to have her as part of my publishing process.'
Jade May - Author of 'Tempted by Eden'
'For someone who plays with words all day I’m not always the best with them so I’ll keep it simple - thank you. Thank you for being so damned supportive it makes my teeth hurt. Thank you for sacrificing your underwear to read Argyll. Thank you for being a reader first and editor second. I know that might not make sense but I’ve heard so many horror stories about editors who push their narrative onto author’s works, so it relieves any stress knowing that you are in my corner.
Mostly, thank you for being you. I don’t know if they give out sainthoods for smut-reading, but if they did, you would be the patron saint of smutty authors.
All my love and gratitude'
Jac Franklin - Author of 'Two Nights in Argyll'
'When I first began my search for an editor, I knew firsthand that I needed someone with a qualification in English writing, as this wasn't my strong suit. I found Stacey after aimless hours of searching Instagram and Fiverr, after messaging her and getting her to check over my manuscript she offered a sample edit. She found multiple things that needed to be changed and she offered her professional input in the best way she could, my manuscript has been amended in the best way possible.
We've been working together from April to October and I truly don't think Cryptic Pursuit would be where it is at the moment without Stacey's help. She's gone above and beyond for me and I'm forever thankful for the advice and editing services she has provided for me and my debut novel.
She didn't overtake nor limit my voice or emotion when I was writing, but helped better it and brought out better explanations in my writing. For that, thank you Stacey' 🖤
Jayti Philpot - Author of 'Cryptic Pursuit'
'I honestly cannot thank Stacey enough. From the moment I reached out to her she was nothing but absolutely amazing. From managing to fit me in at the last minute to keeping me updated on the process, she was nothing but professional and helped me so much. Stacey's editing truly SAVED my manuscript, her attention to detail is unmatched and I feel so lucky to have found a truly reliable editor! Cannot wait to work with Stacey again for any and all future projects!'
S Wilson - Author of 'Run to Me'
'Stacey is an absolute gem of an editor! She handled every aspect of my novel—developmental editing, copy/line editing, and proofreading—with a level of precision and care that truly blew me away. Her eye for detail is unmatched, and she has a way of diving deep into the heart of your story, offering insights that are not only practical but transformative.
One of the best parts of working with Stacey is her ability to strike a balance between thorough critique and encouragement. Her notes were always meticulously detailed, yet filled with a sense of humor that made even the most intense revisions enjoyable. The hilarious comments she peppered throughout the manuscript lightened the load of editing, making the entire process a collaboration rather than a chore.
I’ve already contracted her for my next two novels, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my work. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your manuscript with the care and attention it deserves, Stacey is hands down the editor to go with. Her keen insights, dedication, and ability to enhance your voice without overshadowing it are rare talents in this field.'
Ryen Santana - Author of 'A Veil of Twilight'
'Stacey proofread my debut novella in a new duet. From the moment that I first reached out to her requesting a sample edit, her communication was timely and friendly. She kindly let me know she did not have availability for editing but offered to squeeze me in for proofreading despite being on maternity leave. I was immediately floored by the offer and her kindness. And that's before she quickly returned my novella back to me in under a week. I appreciated her attention to detail and explanations behind why she was suggesting certain edits. I appreciated that not once did she alter my voice during her perusal and just how quick she was with communication. It was a great experience working with her and I'd definitely do it again.'
Mae K. Knight - Author of 'Claiming Sarah'
'Stacey is such a gem to work with. My manuscript was 200k words and had to do an emergency split of it (my nightmare). She truly took the time to look over my manuscripts and make sure each half was good to go as its own book. She was thorough, sweet, and advocated for my work. I can't wait to work with her again on book 4!'
P S Whytock - Author of 'The Keeper' and 'The Black Forest'
'I can't recommend Stacey enough! I couldn't have asked for a better person to copy edit and proofread my novel. Not only is Stacey professional, amazing at her job, punctual and a brilliant communicator - she is also the best supporter, approachable, kind and patient. She's a real life Angel. I can't wait to work with her again!!'
Elle Knox - Author of 'Swim to me'
'I have been writing and self-publishing contemporary romance books for over a year, and I've learned how difficult it is to find reliable help for editing and other author services. I can't recommend Stacey more highly. Not only does she strive to keep her prices affordable for indie authors, but she delivers on time (or early when she can!) and communicates every step of the way. I count myself lucky to have found her and am extremely grateful to have a person I trust editing my books.'
Cleo White - Author of 'In Pieces'
'Stacey proofread my novel after it had been edited, and I am so glad she did. Not only did she highlight several spelling errors, but she suggested adding or removing certain words to make the sentence flow better. Stacey is incredibly reliable, ensuring she meets deadlines as she knows how important it is for authors to release their books on a set date. I will absolutely be using Stacey's services again, and I highly recommend her to others! Thanks again for proofreading Sweet Surrender, and I look forward to working with you in the future.'
EK Hunter - Author of 'The Hollows Bay trilogy' and 'Sweet Surrender'
'Stacey did a proofread for me on my latest release. After going through my betas, ARC team and a line edit, she still found little areas to correct. Her attention to detail is outstanding. I've already sent two other manuscripts to her and we are actively getting our calendars together for my upcoming releases. So happy to have been introduced to her. You won't be sorry working with Stacey!'
Carolina Jax - Author of 'The Casanova Family Series'
'Stacey has completed several proofreads for me, both written and audio, and has done an amazing job, catching errors previously missed and correcting them appropriately. She communicates effectively and always asks for specifics in terms of expectations and desired outcomes. Her completion turnaround is always on time or early, and her attention to detail is extraordinary. I'm excited to continue working with her on my future works.'
MercyAnn Summers - Author of 'Ends of Being'
'Stacey proofread the final version of my debut novel, before publishing. Stacey was thorough and focused on helping me by making developmental suggestions, and managed to blend well between adding her own ideas but still keeping my author voice.
Stacey was also quick but precise with her suggestions and reading, and really put me at ease. So much so that I'm hoping to work with her again for book two.'
CB Halliwell - Author of 'Forever Entwined'
'I had Stacey proofread my already proofread novella to have a fresh set of eyes. Not only did she find missing words I'd missed, and helped change up the flow of certain sentences but she really took the time giving feedback on it too. I'm so grateful that I found Stacey and I was lucky enough to experience her services first hand. Thank you for taking the time to read my novella and make it better than it already was.'
CJ Riggs - Author of 'No, for an answer'
'Wow, can I state how amazing this lady is? Stacey edited one of my books and with a quick turn around, picked out my errors, corrected me where I was needed and was very honest.
Fast, punctual and very reliable. She made the whole editing journey look easy, as trust me as I have editors who have done me wrong.
I look forward to working with Stacey again in the very near future and I cannot recommend her enough. Fabulous and professional.'
Holly J Gill - Author of 'Solace'
'Stacey was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went through my book after it had been seen and worked on by two editors and a proof reader, and still managed to find things others had overlooked. Her work is thorough and precise and has an eagle eye for detail. She is fast and efficient, and is the ideal addition to any author wanting their work to be at the best and highest level!'
Natasha Allen - Author of 'Beyond Expectations'
'Stacey provided me with proofreading on my second novel. I'm impressed with the quality of her work and the attention to detail. She made things flow better and provided valuable suggestions. I'd be more than happy to recommend and use Stacey's services again.
Thank you for the quick turn around and keeping me up to date! I appreciate all you've done.'
Alys J. Clarke - Author of 'The Import Slot'
'I gave Stacey the herculean task of editing my 4 book series which had already been proofed and I am so glad that I did! With a special edition on the horizon, I wanted to make sure each book in the series matched in quality. She was thorough, efficient, and communicated consistently, which I appreciated. I would 100% use again.'
DM Simmons - Author of the 'Children of the Fallen' series
