Anna completed a developmental edit of my debut novel, and she was nothing short of fantastic. I really appreciated how she was thoughtful and thorough every step of the way. She didn’t just read my manuscript, she took time to understand my vision, and every single edit she suggested was in line with the story I was trying to tell. She is extremely reasonably priced, especially for the exceptional attention and service she provides. I will absolutely be enlisting her support in the future. I highly recommend working with her!

I have had Anna as my book coach for the last 2 years and absolutely one of the most patient, supportive individuals for a newbie author who is learning the ropes. She answered my questions, didn’t hesitate to help me out of the tough spots. Anna always had those pom poms ready when I needed encouragement, hit milestones and still has them as I slog through the edits. I still have her now just for editing and she’s been phenomenal. I recommend her 100% for fantasy authors. She’s a gem and worth the investment.

Curly Quotes Editing was the most patient, professional, and kind person I have ever worked with. Her dedication in helping me achieve the best memoir was second to none. Her expertise with structural components of book development transformed my writing into a compelling work of art. A masterpiece really. When an editor creates a strong manuscript from a genre they’re not familiar with, that’s a solid editor and book coach. That defines Curly Quotes Editing. She is a shining star.

My expectation of excellence is higher because of the standard that was set while working with Curly Quotes. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and timeliness was amazing. Aside from that, what brought me the most peace of mind was it felt like the outcome of the book really mattered not only just for myself. I felt like I was in good hands. Moving forward, Curly Quotes will be my first choice for next books and thereafter.

Not only has my debut novella been published, but Curly Quotes took my rambling repetitive words and made it into something beautiful and polished. The level of professionalism is amazing and Curly Quotes truly puts out amazing work. Not only can you ask questions and schedule meetings to discuss the editing process and your concerns but they truly want your book to be the best it can be.

In seeking developmental edits for a complex philosophical hard science fiction mystery, I knew that any editor would have their work cut out for them. Anna really took the time to understand the complexities of my work and provided unbiased, insightful developmental editing which was delivered in a professional and personable way. I would recommend her to anyone!

Anna helped me so much in understanding my writing challenges, character development, POV, and even the strengths I didn’t know I had. Her coaching developed my skill set so much, I feel I have a brand new tool box to work with. Will definitely be using Curly Quotes again in the future. A total gem!

Anna at Curly Quotes is great, she is very professional and responsive. She is very patient which is important for a new writer like me. Anna was available for calls and provided helpful feedback on all aspects of my children’s book. Thank you Anna.

Working with Anna has been a wonderful experience! This was my first time working with a professional editor, so I was a little worried about how things would turn out. However, Anna helped me through the process step by step and worked with me through it all. She made great suggestions, worked quickly and replied quickly as well whenever I had questions. I would definitely work with Anna again!

This was my second novel but my first with an editor. I was forewarned that editing would be a difficult and sometimes frustrating process, and it was. The editing process requires an editor that is truthful, skilled, observant, and tough when they need to be. An author doesn’t need an editor who buys off on a book and only fixes grammar and punctuation but one who will navigate you through the story, not only with those fixes, but with pointed questions, concerns, and direction. The final trick is to do it and still be empathetic to the author’s intentions. Curly Quotes did all of these well. I highly recommend them and plan on going back with my next book.

Working with Anna has been such a dream!As this is the start of my journey into writing, I was keen to work [on] plotting and craft a cohesive, engaging book with compelling characters. I was also really worried about working with a developmental editor who gave feedback and critique without examples. – That wasn’t Anna! Throughout the process, she really helped me to understand the importance of pacing and character development. Her coaching package really worked for me as we were able to meet weekly to discuss various elements of the book, which was challenging but so helpful. She took the time to learn about the characters and how my very hectic ADHD brain works so that she could tailor her feedback in a way I would understand.Her feedback in her editorial letter and in her [in-line] comments on my manuscript was succinct, detailed, and clear, helping me think more deeply about how to improve the book rather than criticise or come across as harsh. We also had lots of back-and-forth chats about plot and character ideas.If you’re thinking about whether you should work with Anna. – I say do it! I can’t recommend Anna enough because her development editing and coaching package is really personalised and comprehensive! Thanks again, Anna. I can’t wait to work with you again on my next project!
