"Bailey did an amazing job recognizing the weaker places in the novel while still allowing the voice of the piece to shine through. She was always responsive and available and she took the time to not only thoroughly read the manuscript on a technical level but also to truly understand it thematically. I strongly recommend her expertise to anyone who wishes to improve their skills, and I plan to continue to utilize her services for all of my future projects."
-Adam Kowal, co-author of Soottown
