Samantha Zaboski

Working with Samantha has been an absolute pleasure. Not only was she timely and professional, but she really listened to what I was hoping for and delivered in spades. Her ability to connect with my vision for what I wanted my manuscript to be and provide thorough and thoughtful feedback on it was phenomenal. The edit letter was filled with actionable suggestions and the accompanying in-line notes truly helped me to see the places where I could make some tweaks and adjustments. It's energized me as I tackle a fifth revision of this manuscript. I highly recommend Samantha and I hope to work with her again on future projects. 14/10 stars. Phenomenal! Thank you so much Samantha!

Samantha's developmental feedback is incredible. She provides good insight, raises questions, gives suggestions, and guides without being pushy. The thing I like the most is that she takes the time to stop and highlight particularly good sections or phrases, with something like "Nice" or "GOOD". It's a great boost to know that some of what you've written is already good as-is.

Samantha is a dream come true for me as an author. She doesn't just offer an editing service, she offers a dialogue between you, the author, and her, the editor. This is invaluable; it creates a finished product that is exponentially better than if you simply received input from an editor and took that to a publisher. Samantha is an expert on the technical side, but she also has some sort of magical insight I cannot pin down. She is so good at reading the themes and characters I create, she often makes alterations that foreshadow my plans for the sequel. She enhances the characters and narrative as well as the flow. I cannot imagine publishing a book without the service she offers. At the end of working on this project with Samantha, I once again find myself eagerly looking forward to working with her on the next product. I used to think editing a manuscript was scary, but now it is my favorite part of the process.

Samantha was amazing! I have felt stuck with this book for so long. I knew something wasn't working, but I couldn't figure it out. Samantha was able to identify the exact issue. If I hadn't worked with her, I don't know if I ever would have gotten to the point where I would have published this book. Now I feel confident I'll be able to fix what wasn't quite working and make this the novel I wanted it to be. She is so kind, motivating, and great at what she does. I couldn't recommend her more. I will definitely be working with her again.

This is my second time using Samantha's services. I couldn't be more thrilled and satisified. She was so thorough and detailed. I found every recommendation invaluable. She turned a good story into a great story. She also taught me a few things along the way. I'm already writing my next story and will be seeking Samantha's services again in the future.
