“Meredith's patience and wonderful personality put me at ease immediately. She is adept at keeping the writing focused, knowing what needs more explanation and what detracts from the main points. She also has a great ability to capture my voice in her suggestions. My transitions flow smoothly between paragraphs and chapters because of her attention to detail. She's made it possible for me to transform very rough, disjointed writing into a manuscript I am proud of. I highly recommend her!”

“Meredith is a terrific editor, and I recommend her highly. She has edited several of my books, most notably a thorough developmental edit of my memoir. She gave me valuable feedback on the main tensions in the story, clarification of central themes, character development, inconsistencies in the text, and the need for more parallels between my personal story and the story of China. She pushed me to explore connections and themes more deeply and to articulate “takeaways” that would make the book relevant to readers today. No question, my book is far better because of her work.”

“Meredith’s feedback was both perceptive and direct. At the same time she displayed a sensitivity to my creative process as an artist and art therapist. I did finish the book with Meredith's skill, encouragement and guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an editor or writing coach.”

“Meredith is an exemplary professional writer, editor, and tech-savvy manager. We worked together on self-publishing an anthology—from editing and tracking the revisions of 25 writers to creating a LinkedIn group for our social media campaign. She is, in addition, a dynamic and creative leader. I look forward to collaborating with her on another successful project.”

“I asked Meredith to edit my memoir about searching for my lost brother, and she did so with great sensitivity and skill. I was consistently amazed at how her subtle and perceptive comments improved my work, at once deepening and clarifying. Meredith is an exceptionally talented writer in her own rights and a pure delight to work with as an editor: responsive, thorough, and timely. I hope to have a long working relationship with her.”

“During the past couple of years, while I was working on another book about my life, I enlisted Meredith to help me with the process. I found her to be extremely skilled in restructuring some of my sentences to be more readable and making my thoughts clearer to the reader. She is very supportive—I recommend Meredith to any aspiring writer.”
