Whitney’s editing suggestions completely saved my essay. Working with her is comfortable and inspiring. She digs deep when she needs to and isn’t afraid to school you when you need a little schoolin’! Whitney is a master at helping to add layers to the work. My experience working with other editors just doesn’t compare.

I had a one-on-one session with Whitney—she listened to me about my story and just asked the right questions. I concluded some things about my work that I never considered before. She encourages us, she’s enthusiastic, and she sees so much potential in us

Whitney has been very supportive. She will always try to answer questions we have and makes it known that she can be reached most times if we want to contact her about our writing or even give feedback.

I thought it was fun and nice seeing people coming out of their shells and comfort zones. I liked how I didn’t feel judged and I wasn’t afraid. I’m not the biggest fan of poetry but this opened my mind up more to it. Great job!
