Here's what my clients say

"I'm so appreciative of Ashley! She brought such a depth to my story. I'm thankful to God for her."

"There is so much to say about Ashley as an editor, I almost don't know where to start. I've had terrible experiences with editors in the past, advising me to change my work to fit what they want it to be, not so with Ashley. She will work with you to help you accomplish YOUR vision. And the way she does it makes you feel like she cares about your work as much as you do. She has all the patience in the world. Our first phone call lasted forever, and never did I feel like she was in a hurry to get rid of me. That phone call probably lasted so long because I wouldn't stop trying to get her to agree with me when I was wrong, but she stuck to her guns when it counted. She will listen to all your concerns and give you an honest answer, but it's always done in a caring manner and never feels like criticism. I know as a writer I should be better about accepting criticism, but as a human ... let's be real, nobody likes it. With Ashley's delivery, that problem disappears. She has changed my opinion about editors. I can't recommend her enough!"

"I worked with Ashley briefly on my previous book, Avenger of Blood, and decided to hire her for a much more extensive edit on book two in the series, The Orphan. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I did. This lady is an editing wizard. VERY thorough and VERY patient. I'd worked on this manuscript for so long, it looked like alphabet soup to me by the time I sent it to her. I didn't know what I was looking at anymore, only knew there was something about the writing that was a little ... off. And no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it where I wanted it to be. In swoops Ashley with her editing wand, and poof, I couldn't be happier with the final product! I can't say enough good things about Ashley's talent. But after this experience, I will be sending future manuscripts her way much sooner in the writing process and sparing myself the sleepless nights, headaches, and time wasted trying to fix it on my own. To sum Ashley up in a few words, she's an editing wizard, making magic happen.

She goes above and beyond to ensure that I am satisfied with the final product, and I appreciate her dedication and commitment to my success.
In short, Ashley is a gem. Her editing skills are exceptional, and her ability to provide constructive feedback and guidance is unparalleled. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled editor."
