"Deana is smart, experienced and knows how to turn a good manuscript into a great one" - Amy Susan Brown

Deana was invaluable to me as a developmental editor on my novel which is now being pitched to literary agents - because she helped make it agent-ready! With her sharp eye for characterization, dialogue, plot and narrative, all the elements of a good story, she was able to see problems in an advanced draft that I wasn't able to see myself and to brainstorm with me on actionable solutions to address these issues. She is a delight to work with, funny and generous and kind. I can't recommend Deana enough; she's worth every bit of the investment in her skills. She's smart, experienced and she knows how to turn a good manuscript into a great one.
