Kate Simonet
"I had the privilege to work with Lydia on my first self-published book. She assisted me with editing my material and also assisted with running my social media platforms. In the six short months that she ran my platform, she got my follower count from 60-500. She went above and beyond with assisting me with making connections with people with a similar story and purpose as I did. She even took time to find reviews and podcasts that I may be interested in. She has taught me ways to professionally market myself and to be more inclusive for other people. Her editing skills are top-notch and she definitely enhanced the quality of my book. Lydia is affordable and always has a quick response time. She is personable and wants to see her clients successful. I am so grateful to call Lydia a friend. It has been a wonderful experience to get to work with her professionally."

The Smell of Kindness
Olivia B. Powers
"I had the pleasure of working with Lydia on my first book and she made me feel like my work was beautiful even in its roughest stage. She was respectful and encouraging when it came to changes and growing the story more. Lydia was my first experience working with an editor and her support gave me confidence when I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Even after her part was finished she has continued to encourage and offer me support. She's truly been on my side in creating the best book possible. If she’s available in the future I will definitely look to her for guidance."

Ben Hertel
"Working with Lydia was a good experience for me. She caught my mistakes, and had some suggestions on content that made my story better. Lydia also offered a few ideas I had never thought of, which made me think about my work in ways I'd never considered before. The best part was her openness to using any, all, or none of her suggestions, which I appreciated."

Editor-in-chief Meri-Jo Borzilleri
"I was editor-in-chief of Bellingham Alive magazine and Lydia's editorial supervisor. Lydia was among just a handful of people giving a final proofread to the entire issue each month, and wrote items for our online events calendar, one of the magazine's most popular sections. Lydia was a fast learner, conscientious and dependable, had a good eye for catching mistakes, and had the ability to work quickly with a large volume of copy. She not only performed editorial duties, but was also responsible for marketing and promotions work, which meant she had to juggle many and varied tasks. She remained even-keeled during busy times and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Lydia -- she would be an asset to any organization."
