Nikki CaveService: Second Chance Copyedit
Genre: New Adult Romance As writers our stories mean the world to us and Sarah respects that. She edits with the writer’s voice always at the forefront of what she does. Her insights, comments, corrections, and suggestions are warranted and thorough. Her attention to detail is second to none. She is professional at all times, but an ally rather than an editor providing a service. What she says she will deliver on, she does. On time and above and beyond expectations. Her services are great value for money, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I am so grateful to have found Sarah and have everything crossed that she can fit me into her schedule to edit my next book! Thank you, Sarah! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. Stephanie K. ClemensService: Copyediting
Genre: New Adult Cozy Romantasy This is the third novel and I think 7th project (with more already scheduled) that I’ve hired Sarah to edit for me. I’ve had others look at samples of my work before, and no one has been as good at correcting my mistakes while keeping my voice. I think I’ve decided not to follow her suggestions once—as I’m in one story on one sentence she suggested rephrasing. Every other time the changes make sense and still sound like how I write. |
On top of that, the information she gives me on my comfort habits (which change from story to story) help me become a better writer. I’ve almost figured out em dashes and don’t avoid them like I used to. I read through all the feedback, and my favorite thing is she takes the time to show when you used something appropriately and when you did it in a way that didn’t work. I’m not saying I understand it all, kinda like when I start talking like a lawyer around non-lawyers. But I think it’s important to see how things are both right and wrong to help a person learn. My next favorite thing are the comments. Especially when they are where I think the reader is going to have one of those comment moments. It’s all these things that actually make having someone look at your work to find what’s “wrong” with it and not have you feel bad or defensive when you get the feedback back. If that makes sense.

Arabella K. FedericoService: Copyediting
Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Science Fiction and Fantasy Where do I start with Sarah? There are so many great things. First, as a person Sarah is fantastic and so kind and gentle with our beloved book babies. It's so hard and scary giving our projects over to someone to edit, but Sarah not only was kind about all her critiques, she really went above and beyond my expectations. I always felt my book was safe in her hands. I always got my questions answered promptly and never felt I was waiting around for an answer. Second, the edit itself was so detailed, so thorough, and so beyond my expectations. I was really blown away. Sarah did a copyedit and proofread on my manuscript, and went through it so many times, finding all my goofy mistakes and correcting everything, so it was all uniform and so very professional. I'm still blown away by her attention to detail, something I seriously strive for. I was also given a Style Sheet, and that document itself was amazing, too. It had every single character, all the magical and fantasy elements of my book, a scene by scene breakdown--it was just incredible. A document like that is so invaluable, especially for an author like myself who's doing a series. I would recommend Sarah 10 times over again, and had such a wonderful experience working with her and will be working with her again in the future. I'm so glad I found her when I did!
Carley WolfeService: Line editing
Genre: DomesticThriller Sarah was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. It was nerve-wrecking sharing my first project with someone, but Sarah was enthusiastic about it the whole time. She made me feel like she really believed in the story. Her editing was worth far more than she charges. By the end of her process, she knew my story better than I did. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Books by Carley Wolfe:Order or read with Kindle Unlimited! Jesse B. HarveyService: Copyediting
Genre: SciFi Pulp Fiction "She [Sarah] was amazing! She did everything she said she would and more. She was on time or early with her work. She kept me updated on the steps of the process, she communicated well and listened to my thoughts and ideas. She was super understanding and helped address any concerns or worries I had. I will 100% be using her services again. I can't recommend her high enough. I am so thrilled by the work we did together."

S.G. BlinnService: Copyediting
Genre: Dark Fantasy with some Spicy Romance "Sarah is by far the friendliest person I have ever met! Her attention to detail is out of this world. Not only does she value the author's voice, she helps aid your development in keeping that voice throughout your story. What I love is that she is so easy to talk to. If I am nervous about handing over a manuscript, she puts those fears to bed. If I have questions, she gets back to me quickly. The communication, weekly updates, makes me feel included in this process. I can't wait to get my Friday updates!!! Visit S.G. Blinn's Website Books by S.G. Blinn (edited by Sarah Hawkins)

Nicole MacCarronService: Copyediting
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Thriller/Horror "Sarah was great to work with. Her edits were thoughtful and always carefully explained. She has a gentle way of making suggestions that made it feel like we were a team working together to polish this manuscript to the best it could be. She went the extra mile to help me get this book ready in time for my publication date. Sarah also left little comments about things she liked, which were such a joy to find. I highly recommend her!"
