“Marisa is a masterful editor and a pleasure to work with. She's able to identify and elevate your strengths as a writer and also gently articulate the areas that need more work, the weaknesses. She can take your lovely little rock and polish it into a shining, valuable gem. Or to be more direct, she took my SFD ($h!tty First Draft, my words, not hers) and helped me develop it into a book that I'm proud of and excited for people to read. She was also able to step in at exactly the right moment with a pep talk when my imposter syndrome was giving me writer's block. I highly recommend working with her.”
