Testimonials

What is it like to work with me? Check out what some of my authors have said!

 

“Olivia’s sense of story structure and character development are strong, and her feedback is never prescriptive. Her observations always lead to the right solutions that many times were buried right under the surface, waiting for an expert eye to be found. She’s always timely and responsive, and encouraging and supportive. I love, love working with her. She’s an excellent story doctor!”

—Yamile Saied Méndez, Pura Belpré award-winning author of Furia

 

“Olivia edits in a way that advocates for BIPOC/POC voices—making space for writers to be authentically themselves. But more than anything...she has the brilliant ability to walk into a writer’s draft and unearth uncharted character development, worldbuilding, and emotional twists that turn a writer’s cool idea into something extraordinary.” —Harper Glenn, author of Monarch Rising

 

“Olivia took my books from good to great, and then from great to phenomenal. She’s great with character development and structure, but what helped the most is that she listened to what I wanted to say with my book and helped me polish my vision rather than change it into something else. I can’t recommend Olivia enough!”

—Jazz Taylor, author of Starting From Scratch (and pen name of Jessica Lewis)

 

“Olivia’s attention to detail mixed with her genuine empathy and understanding of the complexity of story are unmatched. I cannot recommend her skills as an editor highly enough and will always be grateful for the nuance, depth, and clarity she helped uncover in my work.”

—Clare Edge, author of Accidental Demons

 

“Olivia is great to work with on a personal and professional level. Her communication was so great and her level of understanding of my work helped me unlock the story!” —Ivelisse Housman, author of Unseelie and Unending

 

“Olivia’s insight into my project brought a fountain of new ideas, great edits and substitutions, and a reinvigorated passion into my own writing.” —Briland S., Reedsy client

 

“I was honestly completely blown away by Olivia’s work. She helped me better articulate the world I was trying to create with the language I was using. Throughout her comments, I felt like she was sitting on my shoulder discussing things with me, and I even laughed out loud multiple times. It was such a great and fun experience, and Olivia was such a lifesaver.” —Adora M., Reedsy client

 

“Olivia was super accommodating, professional, and so talented. Her eye and attention to detail are unmatched. I’m so grateful I found her and excited to work with her on another opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to work with Olivia!” —María Alejandra B., Reedsy client
