Testimonials

"Clarissa was ready to graduate from California Baptist University when I hired her as an editor for my debut novel. Having studied creative writing, she already had the nuts and bolts knowledge of how to make a novel pop. I was overwhelmed, not only by her knowledge, but also by her willingness to go the extra mile to make my novel the best it could be. She wrote extensive comments and changes to this 80,000 word document. It must have taken her several hours for each chapter. The end result was a quantum leap better than the original. Clarissa is what an editor needs to be. She works hard, and she will tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear. That is a perfect recipe for producing outstanding work. I highly recommend her.

Clarissa has a sixth sense about how to take the raw material of fiction and turn it into something 2000 percent better. She has the ability to think things through and figure out how to improve it. For example, she understands the value of including appropriate character arcs and how to avoid trigger issues for younger audiences. In sum, I would highly recommend Clarissa's editing services, and any publishing company that had her on their staff would be very fortunate."

- Keith Carey When are You Today?

"She pointed out many areas where I needed more description, which helped improve the quality of the novel. The job was completed ahead of schedule. She helped bring out the "showing" instead of "telling" aspect of a story and pointed out potential plot holes in the story. Overall, my story improved in quality. Clarissa helped with with showing verses telling aspect and helped create more coherent sentences. Overall, my story and writing improved as a result and I learned some new things along the way. She offered useful, constructive feedback in order to improve the story along with positive aspects of the novel that would be enjoyable to readers. For the development edit she offered insight into the characters, plot, and looked at consistency with the other books in the series, helping me see the story from a new perspective. She was also lenient with timing and handed it in early. I'd recommend this editor."

She never hesitated to answer any questions, and it was an honor to work with her on my old novel.
