I was very new to working with an editor, so I had many questions. Meghan was super knowledgeable and easy to work with even though I knew nothing. Whether you have five books out or this is your first book that you are having edited, it will be super easy with her. She worked with me and was super flexible with timelines and what I needed. I had no idea what to expect, but with her being so honest and transparent with the process it was a no brainer to use her. She worked with my budget and came back with so many good ideas to take my book to that next level. All her suggestions for improvement were gold and she made the book read so much better. I will definitely use her again for any future books.

Working with Meghan on my nonfiction book was a great experience. Meghan is very knowledgeable in her craft as an editor. She was very responsive throughout the whole editing process, communicated in a timely manner, and adhered to the set timelines. She worked out details I had not thought of and most importantly, she gave life to my manuscript in a manner that kept true to the tone of my work without sacrificing the intended message. I highly recommend Meghan and I will definitely use her again for future projects.

If you are a writer and need more than a writing coach to guide you–then you need to hire Meghan to DEVELOP with you. There is a difference between a writing coach and a developmental editor. #AllDevelopmentalEditorsAreNotEqual #EvenTheBestStoryBenefitsFromDevelopmentalEditing

Meghan’s help has been wonderful! Coming into the editing process I knew that my story was only scraping the surface, and I was searching for a way to push through that. Meghan’s editing and feedback was exactly what I needed; she was able to put just the right cracks in the surface to allow me to break though and delve more deeply into my story. Her dedication and hard work really shows, and my story will be the better for it. I will definitely be coming back and I am excited to continue working with her!

I am very happy to have found Meghan Stoll to professionally edit my debut novel, Smash It Like Cobain! She helped me in many expected ways, and equally in unexpected ones. Meghan’s ability to excise my errors and add the precise necessities of punctuation, tense, paragraph breaks, chronological and demographic accuracy, quotations, and the like was magical to my amateur writer’s eyes! And, her insightful suggestions into the mysteries of my characters, the countless details, and better cohesion of the disparate elements were… huge. Thank you Meghan!

Meghan was tasked with reading manuscripts submitted in various states of completion and accomplishment from individuals ranging in skill from first-time writers to previously-published authors. Her comprehensive reviews offered insight on quality of writing, potential of material, and marketability of the end product. It was necessary for her to excel in grammar, spelling, punctuation, composition, and the specifics of the Chicago Manual of Style… She was a quick and thorough reader and completed thoughtful and articulate reviews highlighting the required improvements to each manuscript. Her suggestions often improved the end content in a published book.
