I have worked with Lauren several times, and can only say what a fantastic editor! Lauren has a keen eye for detail, giving constructive feedback that has really improved my novels. The comments and suggestions have been thoughtful, and praise has also been given, balancing out the feedback. A joy to work with, I can thoroughly recommend Lauren’s editing skills!

Author of The Amethyst Talisman
Lauren is a truly brilliant editor . . . insightful, kind, and happy (and competent) to tackle more sensitive topics. They work with good humour, and are second to none in the support they provide authors, including working flexibly to best support writers with additional needs to be able to produce their best work. A truly vital, but not often considered, skill in this modern world.

Lauren is a joy to work with. They are incredibly passionate, organised and determined. Lauren is a wonderful team player and always willing and ready to help. Any team would benefit from their kindness and can-do attitude.
