"Lisa Findlay can turn the book you've written into the book you meant to write. She has an astonishing gift for pushing hard and asking the right questions, without ever squashing confidence or passion. Lisa pulled me from the slush and then dispelled every scary rumor I'd ever heard about the publishing industry... and when my agent asked me how I wanted her to negotiate my option, I simply said, 'Do whatever it takes to keep me with Lisa.' No lie!"
"Working with Lisa was fabulous. She guided me through the changes the novel needed without telling me what to do. She played the role of both cheerleader and taskmaster, making sure the story always remained mine while it improved steadily through the editing process."
"Lisa is an insightful and supportive editor. Her highly professional yet friendly manner makes her a joy to work with. She's very attentive, not only during the editing process, but during post-publication as well."
"Lisa Findlay showed me how to bring my writing up to publishable quality by focusing on things I never knew I had to work on, like character development. She taught me to cut out extraneous material and how to build up to a satisfying ending. Lisa is an expert at seeing exactly what a story needs to achieve its full potential and in helping a writer to bring it there."
"Lisa Findlay is a gifted editor any writer would be lucky to work with. She has a fantastic sense of story and a real intuition about what is needed to make a manuscript come to life. Also, Lisa suggests changes in a way that inspires an author to look at a story with a fresh perspective. As my editor, she helped me improve my novel in ways I would have never even considered, if not for her capable guidance."
"Without Lisa, my stories would languish or worse, fade without notice. She pushes me, with gentle, tender touch to find the voice, passion and shine of every word."
