"As a first time novelist, I knew I could benefit from the expertise of a first-rate editor; fortunately, I found Nancy. After first e-mailing her, we talked on the phone about my recently completed Civil War era historical fiction, Land of Upstarts. We talked several times during the critique and editing process. She was friendly and easy to converse with. Most important to me, she was straight forward in her statements, quick to point out areas that needed tweaking, and just as quick to declare ''well done," when warranted--any serious writer appreciates both kinds of honesty. Our work together was a wonderful experience, and I believe I am a better writer because of it."

Dorothy Ryan-Schwartz, Land of Upstarts

"Nancy's assistance with my manuscript was excellent. Her knowledge and experience helped me to develop a more marketable work for publication."

Kurt Williams, Our Last Adventure Together

"I was very fortunate to have connected with such a professional editor. Nancy is not only competent as a literary editor, but she has demonstrated an attitude about the overall nature of my work that causes me to feel quite comfortable with her professional approach. She has managed to suggest needed editing without violating the integrity of my work; a delicate undertaking for any good editor."

J. Lamah Walker, The Shamans of San Damiano

"I've worked with a number of editors in the past and Nancy's help is cutting edge.  She provides expert editing and suggestions.  Thank you, Nancy, for being my editing angel."

William Montebello, The Healing Alliance

"My problem as a writer is that I have a very thin skin.  So when I asked  Nancy Stohlman to edit for me she delivered big time and hurt my feelings.  But  when I began to rewrite I realized what a terrific editor she is. It was a  tough lesson for me.  Thanks to Nancy I can see  the “holes” in my story, how to shed excessive verbiage and see how my story is  unfolding from the reader’s point of view. I am beginning to learn how to be a better writer.  Nancy will edit my next story."

Ignatius D'Aquila, Remembering Dixie

"If you want to work with the best, hire Nancy Stohlman."

Shahzad Akram, Miami Red

"It was a pleasure working with Nancy on my manuscript.  She provided professional, insightful services, and truly has a bead on the reader's perspectives and interests.  She displays a knack for allowing the author to stay true to the spirit of their work in a way that it can be enjoyed by the widest audience base possible.  Stop your search—you've found your editor."

Carl Arbogast, The Sand Squids
