Here's What My Clients Say...

"Working with Ashley, aka Aspen Editorial, was a 6 out of 5 star experience. In a sea of editors to choose from, I was so grateful when I ran across Ashley's page on Instagram. A lot of the editors I was looking at didn't have much education to back up their pricing and services, so when I looked through Ashley's bio and saw the educational commitment she had to the craft as well as the examples to prove it, I knew I wanted her to be my copy/line and stylistic editor. My story needed a lot of help in its line-edits, and Ashley came to the rescue with her attention to detail, well of knowledge, and constructive comments. I not only got a thoroughly red-lined manuscript back (this is what you want and need from an editor) from her, but her comments taught me a lot about grammar, syntax, etc. to the point where my current drafting is much smoother than before. Never once did her comments make me feel pressured to click "accept", but rather, I was given the choice to best suit my story and voice. Even when she made her edits, she kept my writer's voice at the forefront, allowing my writing to become clearer, smoother, and easier to read. Not to mention she caught some important continuity errors that, with a fairly complex magic system, I needed to iron out. So far, my debut novel has gotten much praise for it's readability, and I can confidently say I have Ashley to thank for it. I highly recommend hiring Ashley for any of her offerings! She knows how to storytell and she knows how to help you present your story with your voice in its utmost clarity."

"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.
