Reviews
Working with Sharon was a wonderful experience. She is so creative and completely understood what I was looking for in focusing my book. I am very grateful to her!
I think Sharon did a fabulous job with editing my poetry book! She even went completely out of her way to offer to provide extra assistance, due to my lack of computer skills. She was quite patient & understanding. I would recommend her to anyone!
Sharon returned my inquiry quickly and gave me a very customized quote for services. I appreciated her fast response and detailed answers.
https://sidivanaandthetwobirds.com As a first time self-publishing children's book writer I knew that I had to work with a professional editor as well as Illustrator. The entire process has been a wonderful learning experience because Sharon made it so easy. She's professional, knowledgeable and it was easy communicating with her. I couldn't have done this without her. Highly recommend. Attached is a page from my upcoming children's book, Sidivana and the Two Birds. You can now pre-order my book "Sidivana and the Two Birds" on Amazon.
This was the first book I wrote, and it was on climate change, a hot and contentious topic. I knew the science inside and out and I was going to lay out the facts and figures and the adoring readers would flock to my book to find the hidden truths. But with her patience and piercing questions, she forced me to do the necessary work to identify and reach my target audience and then tell a compelling story. She asked the tough questions that had not even occurred to me: who is my target audience (get the right demographics), what is the message I wanted to deliver, how was the message to be delivered. She stressed the importance of me telling my story and not just quoting scientists. She also emphasized the importance of humor and contextualizing my personal experiences and views. And to do so, not just with the science but also to focus on the scientific impacts on humanity, and do it in a lighthearted-optimistic manner. Will our book be a commercial success? We will see, but for sure Sharon did her part and put me in the best position for success. The rest is now up to me and whatever talent I have. Five stars, thank you, Sharon. Teri
Absolutely perfect! I hit the jackpot with Sharon's help. She catches not only grammar/spelling errors, but even inconsistent details that need to make sense within the whole story. All that without taking away from the true voice of the Author. I absolutely loved how she urged me to give a little more pow wow in certain dull boring vague paragraphs. Sharon is truly perfect in Storeytelleur stuff.
7 out of 5 If you want a person committed to get you, get it (your project goals) and get it done look no further Sharon is my ‘Let's do this! And love it’ girl! She is ... a writers dream but real too! she will bless your script 77×777 more times than what it is it is when you bring it to her. A lot of riders just drop my project on the floor because they didn’t want to take the time to understand it or like this other lady who shall remain nameless. That was the wacky guy like that will get me since everyone was claiming that I was so wacky but he ended up telling me he couldn’t make sense of me that was whack! Instantly when I talk to her I knew out of everyone she would be the star Sharon is a superstar and she shares your enthusiasm let’s face it if you working on this project your enthusiastic about your work or you want to work with someone who will share in that with you Sharon will she’s the one she’s number one I even offered her a presidential role in my company. She gets me. She can take the time to have the patience to listen to me and understand me with my long winded A**! She is right for you. I am just starting my business and I am I need an a lot of work done and she help me so much she help me find direction where I lacked. She is enthusiastic and like me easily excited about some new stuff to work on it new ideas and she heard all of my ideas and she makes them she takes things out of my head and put it out into the world she put it out on paper grammatically correct clean how work is clean and easy to read she’s way better than any of these other wackos writers on here. There are so many to steer clear of trust me I don’t know how some of them have four or five stars there’s a old lady on here who doesn’t need to don’t work with her she act like she’s committed but she she expect you to call her every time well Sharon will pick up the phone and call you and she’s my patient with me and understanding she’s worth every dime,every dime she even help this young up-and-coming artist that I’m working with pretty much pro bono because she want tonsee him succeed. Just because she’s that kind but I went ahead and paid it for him out of my pocket. I am an entertainer and wacky ARTIST TYPE. I had so much trouble finding a writer that would stick my project(s) they all crossover and reference the next. If certain people on here didn’t have such short attention spans low or maybe its there low tolerance for young black intellectuals. It was non of that with here. She didnt give me that yucky Trumpism feeling thats going around here. She makes America great and my script and my various proposals & intellectual properties greater and its greatest. She the best !! In the beginning They all love it and love me kind of overwhelmed but they seem like they’re excited and up for the challenge which is not very challenging because I know exactly what I want& also I leave enough room for the people that I’m working with to be creative. She has a very young but wise and cool way of being exactly what we need book her! I'd give her 7 out of 5 if I could!!
...ok I was very pleased with the outcome and I used more than 90+ percent of the recommendations given...Thumbs up.
Sharon was amazing! She's thorough, patient, flexible, and simply an awesome Editor. I had a book for my NFL Client that needed to be edited in a time frame that wasn't standard. Sharon exceeded our expectations. What a professional! I'd hire her again for sure.
