As a published romance author myself, I understand the genre’s heartbeat and help your love story connect powerfully with readers.

TESTIMONIALS

“Choosing Sarah was a no brainer. It was easy to see the quality of her work in the books she’s worked on before I hired her. And she delivered that same attention to detail on my book. I’ll definitely be using her for my next book too.”

~ Day S. Grant, Paranormal Romance Author

“FIVE GLOWING STARS – I’ve been working with Sarah for two years and can’t recommend her enough! Not only does she understand my voice as an author, she respects it while catching every detail I miss. Her meticulous eye and quick turnaround have made her indispensable to my writing process.”

~ A. Boss, Romance Author
