"Sasha was absolutely fantastic to work with, and I grew so much in my skill as a writer from her feedback. As a new author, I was intimidated by the editing process, but Sasha was so approachable and helpful. I'll definitely be coming back to her for the next book in my series!"
Rachel Grayson, Superhero Sci-Fi Fantasy
"My experience with Sasha as a sensitivity reader was so positive that I asked her to be my copy/line editor as well. Sasha provided invaluable feedback, responded to my questions and concerns, communicated every step of the way with kindness and patience. She went above and beyond, giving me feedback on passages I had rewritten and offering so much encouragement. I highly, highly recommend Sasha."
Madeleine Van Hecke, Literary Fiction
"Working with Sasha was an amazing experience from beginning to end. When I initially reached out she asked really thoughtful questions that made it clear she’s passionate about what she does. This was my first time working with an editor so I found it extremely helpful that Sasha was open and honest about what to expect. We had an introductory Zoom call and it was clear she’s the editor for me. The process itself was seamless, she gave updates and delivered final edits on the contractually agreed upon date. Her feedback was honest and constructive without being harsh. The second round of edits went just as smoothly. Sasha was an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again on my next book—and every book to come."
Taz Ansley, MM Contemporary Romance
"Sasha is amazing. She provided feedback and assistance in a way that I could not have imagined. All of her feedback was thorough and honest which allowed room for me to do more work. I really appreciate Sasha taking the time to learn more about my theme before diving into it, and I plan on working with Sasha again in the future. Very transparent about pricing, and fair. The money is worth it."
Ivory Mouzon, Tennis Drama Fiction
"Sasha is such a thoughtful and warm editor - her notes taught me so much and made my book immeasurably better. On top of her helpful feedback, she also left so many kind and enthusiastic comments that gave me so much life and motivation during the often scary editing process!"
Lauren Shippen, MM Western Romance
"Sasha was incredibly patient, empathetic, and thorough as a sensitivity reader for my manuscript. While she was very prompt in all our correspondence, she also really took the time to educate me on the reasons behind any changes she suggested and provided a lot of super helpful resources as well.
I was intimidated going into the process but she very quickly made me feel comfortable with her kindness and honesty. She walked me through all my questions and with her feedback I was able to make edits and ended up with a manuscript I felt so much more confident in and proud of. I would definitely work with her again!"
Nicole, Upmarket Sci-Fi
"I cannot recommend Birds View Editorial highly enough. Their editing work on my project, Scorched Earth, was truly exceptional. From the first novel to this second one, Sasha brought an incredible level of professionalism, care, and attention to detail to both manuscripts.
The attention to detail was extraordinary. Sasha caught things I had overlooked, identified areas that could be strengthened, and offered valuable insights that ultimately helped make my novels the best version of itself.
I highly recommend Birds View Editorial to any author looking for an editor who genuinely cares about the work and is committed to helping bring out its full potential. I look forward to seeing Scorched Earth reach its audience, and I know Birds View Editorial's contribution played an important part in getting it there!"
Gregory Williams, Conspiracy Thriller
"Working with Sasha was a breeze from start to finish. She helped me find the correct service for the stage my manuscript was in and worked in a timely fashion to complete the job. Her feedback was thorough and supportive, while also staying constructive. She also made me aware of some literature to help me improve as a writer that I found incredibly educational and helpful. I will definitely be working with her again!"
Katherine Moeykens, New Adult Romantic Fantasy
"Working with Sasha was absolutely wonderful. I appreciated the thoughtful feedback, which was delivered on the timeline promised, and even a very kind project update in between, which made my day. I would definitely recommend Sasha, and I look forward to working together again!"
Rachel Upshaw, Upmarket Women's Fiction and Romantic Comedy
"I can't say enough about how great Sasha was to work with on my (very intricate, complicated) paranormal romance. She went above and beyond what she was meant to do, paying attention to every little detail in order to hone the book into something great. Will definitely work with her again if given the opportunity!"
Jordan Michelle, Sapphic Paranormal Romance
"Sasha is the absolute best to work with. She was incredibly patient with my questions while also being diligent and working at a quick pace. She has a perfect mix of constructive criticism, and any compliment or call-out she had always felt deserved. She spots grammar mistakes like a hawk and is able to polish narratives, characters, and scenes to make your work the best it possibly can be. Highly recommend."
Z.B. Steele, Grimdark Fantasy Adventure
"Sasha did an amazing job with developmental editing, catching major inconsistencies and areas that lacked impact, and line/copy editing, ensuring my style was consistent and readable. Editing is always a daunting process and certainly not a favorite step, but Sasha demonstrated both compassion and professionalism while keenly identifying areas for improvement and maintaining my writer's voice. Her communication and timely updates gave me the added confidence my manuscript was in good hands. Sasha is someone you'd want on your team if you're looking for quality. Highly recommended!"
B.B.E. Gwyn, Cozy Fantasy-Mystery
"I have benefited from Sasha's insights as a sensitivity reader and an editor (developmental, and line and copy). Through all the work I have done with Sasha, she has always delivered on what we agreed, and to a high standard, showing her expertise. On top of that, she has been unfailingly approachable, generous, and kind. As someone new to working with sensitivity readers and editors, I really appreciated her supportive approach. She was also happy to respond to my follow-up queries, which was very helpful. Overall, I found our interactions to be positive, insightful, and thoughtful, and I had a great experience working with her."
Rachel, MM Contemporary Romance
"I hired Sasha to help me edit my magical realism novel. I chose her after receiving sample edits from six editors I found via the Editorial Freelancers Association. Sasha communicated weekly throughout the length of the project to let me know she was on track to meet our agreed upon deadline. She actually met the first and most tedious deadline a little early, which was helpful. She caught a few inconsistencies in my story that helped me make the plot stronger during the editing process. I appreciated her attention to detail. For anyone worried about an editor just using AI or a grammar software, this confirms that she will actually read your story. The style guide she provided was helpful in ensuring I kept everything consistent as I continued to work on my book after her edits. While I did not agree with all of Sasha’s suggested edits, the use of MS Word track changes made it easy for me to see her suggestions and take what I wanted from her feedback. If I had questions, I knew I could ask her. Overall, if you are looking for an editor, Sasha was great. I’d recommend her to a friend."
B.E. Bang, Magical Realism
"Working with Sasha was an incredible experience. It was my first time working with an editor, and she walked me through the process, making me feel comfortable while providing weekly updates. She's honest, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile. The developmental edits caught major weak points and helped me strengthen my story, while the line/copy edits polished the novel and made it ready to send out to the world. I highly recommend Sasha for editing and will happily work with her again."
Maggie Mulloy, Literary Romance
"The developmental editing service I received from Sasha was exceptional. Her meticulous approach helped me identify and resolve plot holes in my manuscript, elevating the story to a new level. She consistently met every milestone on time, showcasing her professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend her to fellow writers and eagerly anticipate collaborating with her again in the future."
Martina Sneed, Urban YA Fantasy
"I am so glad I found Sasha and decided to work with her. Not only did she give me detailed feedback upon our agreed deadline, but she also provided me with a great deal of updates, reassurance and security, which as a first timer, I value it highly.
I learnt from her commentary and extra resources she sent. Besides, her unbiased response to all my doubts has given me a confidence boost. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again."
Laila Ream, Fantasy Adventure
"Sasha’s reading of my short story "Black Salt" gave me the confidence to put my collection out here. She was thorough and showed an incredible understanding of the character, the issues the story addresses, and what I wanted it to accomplish. Perhaps best of all, she was very patient with my questions. The book is all the stronger for the effort she put in. I totally recommend her for sensitivity readings (and, really, any other editorial work you need)."
K.A. Hall, Gothic Literature
"Working with Birds View Editorial was a great experience! Sasha provided encouraging feedback and helpful editorial suggestions and education. Sasha was always professional and timely on project deliverables. I would highly recommend working with Sasha. Her gentle manor was especially helpful to me as a first time author. I look forward to another project with Birds View Editorial in the near future."
Carrie Villa, Commercial Fiction
"Words are an author’s most intimate companions—they are our children. So when we take that final leap into editing, we do so with our hearts in our throats. What will become of our words, of our message, once the editor meets them? Will they be loved or rejected? But what if, instead of judging, the editor nurtures them—helping them grow into their most beautiful and authentic selves? My editorial journey with Sasha was exactly that: a journey of discovery, acceptance, growth, and love. I would entrust my words to no one else. Thank you, Sasha!"
