Working with her has pushed me to finish my book
Working with Mairead was so beneficial for me and my book. From the first contact, when I hit a wall with my mystery novel, she steered me back onto an even keel. We created a plan, discussed and improved the believability of my main character, and she was able to answer any questions I had, as this was my first book. Ultimately, working with her has pushed me to finish my book and begin moving on to the publishing stage- I really couldn't thank her enough.

I could not have gotten my novel started without her.
Mairead is an absolute joy to work with and I could not have gotten my novel started without her. She listened to my needs, walked me through the editorial process, and we began quickly. The process was smooth and worked to meet my deadlines. Mairead’s coaching and developmental editing guided me as I worked through my novel’s first draft. Her feedback enabled me to get to the next step in the writing process. I recommend her to every other writer I know.
