Testimonials
“Over the summer I asked if Laurie would look over some of my poems before publishing. For a very fair price he gave incredibly useful, thoughtful, and constructive feedback on 7 of my pieces and even shared some of his time via Zoom to discuss the poems further. I found his approach considerate and kind while still offering useful critique and I would recommend his editing services to any other poet in need of some wise, fresh eyes.”
“Laurie is a thorough and conscientious editor, able to hone in keenly on what is important for the work as a whole. I know that my writing has benefited enormously from his input.”
“I thoroughly recommend Laurie as an editor. He’s meticulous & ruthless, but also really respectful of your overall intention. Consider his editing as the corrective lenses for your (possibly unfocused) artistic vision.”
“Laurie went above and beyond expectations with proofing and editing my work before submission. He helped me to see the weaknesses and straighten out the kinks. I would definitely recommend him for poetry editorial support. He knows his stuff. He understands the industry and what a publisher wants to see.”
