I’ve worked with Susan on two projects now, one still in progress. She brought a much needed perspective to my writing and taught me much about the craft. Her insights and willingness to collaborate when we wandered into cultural issues related to the story were professional and perceptive. She researched anything we were unsure about and got the answers. Our collaboration resulted in a glowing independent review: 5 stars! I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Susan has now completed all four books in my Sean Livingstone Adventure Series. Our collaboration started back in 2015 and is going stronger than ever in 2021. Over the last six years I have not had to revisit any of my books to fix anything; a testament to her incredible skills. With a new series in the pipeline, I know I’m in safe hands with Susan and Adirondack Editing when it comes to proofreading and adding those final polishes. Susan’s level of attention, detail, and insight across all levels of a manuscript is not only reassuring, but inspiring. If you take the time to carefully evaluate her comments/fixes, then you’re getting more than just a markup or edit. It’s like paying for a writing course with the added benefit of completing your manuscript. Whatever tier you decide to pursue, her professionalism is unparalleled and amazing value.

I’ve worked with Susan on multiple projects both large and small, ranging from workbooks to eBooks. She’s always professional and extremely thorough with her advice. I always recommend her to the writers in my writing group, and on my business website as a must use editor. Every writer I’ve recommended her to have raved about her and the services she provides. If you need an editor, Susan is the best choice.

I have worked with Susan at Adirondack Editing to edit four food science books so far and found the experience more enjoyable each time. Susan is very thorough, always providing helpful comments and guidance. She also has a great sense of humor, which made the process enjoyable for both of us. I look forward to working on more books with Susan and Adirondack Editing soon!

Susan is a competent and thorough editor. She has an in-depth knowledge in the areas critical to good editing and adds a sense of humor to the process. She has inspired me to reeducate myself in the basics of good writing, which her editing revealed as painfully lacking. Susan has just edited my fourth novel, Ahmed's List, which is now on the market. Even after four, it is amazing how many elementary mistakes I missed which she caught.

I love working with Abby [Jaworski] and I feel with each book we get each other more and more. I’ve learned a lot from her – also I have trouble with numbers as I mentioned so she’s extra careful that all my dates and ages match up. My books are going from strength to strength and it Abby is a big part of that success. The idea that reading my books isn’t a chore is a great comfort!

I’m so glad I found Susan. She’s timely and easy to work with. I’ve worked with her on five books so far and have already set up #6! More than any other editor I’ve worked with, Susan makes it easy for the author. She helps writers grow and improve, even providing invaluable statistics on what you’re doing well on and how you can improve. I wholeheartedly recommend her to authors at any level.
