"I've worked with Emily for the past sixteen years. She was my first editor and we've had an amazing partnership that has helped me grow and learn as an author. A brilliant professional, her insight into my thirty-five books with her has been invaluable as her input always makes the story stronger. I've loved working with her and if you have a chance to do so, it will be one of the best decisions you can make for your writing career." - Lynette Eason, USA Today Bestselling author
"Emily is a gifted editor--talented, perceptive, and knowledgeable. On the seven novels we worked on together, she was able to quickly pinpoint a story's weaknesses and then offer guidance on ways to improve it. Her coaching taught me a great deal about crafting a satisfying romance novel, and I am forever grateful for her help. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of professional editing." --Susanne Dietze
Award winning, bestselling author of the Widow's Peak Creek Series
