“Amy is easily the best editor I’ve ever worked with. She has edited countless essays of mine and every time, she manages to dig the best writing out of my head so I can get it onto the paper. Amy has amazing attention to detail and in-depth comments for strengthening and shining, and I can tell she truly cares about writing and editing. I would recommend her to any writer out there, no matter the genre.”
