Praise for our Staff
Alisha has supported me in the writing of my first novel. She understands the structure & craft of storytelling and can clearly articulate what is needed for an air-tight plot. She also has an intuition for ‘what’s possible’ in an author’s work. Working with Alisha has not only given my novel a sound foundation structurally, but she has pushed me to go deeper into my character’s inner worlds to bring my story & all its complex emotions to life in my pages. My story wouldn’t be what it is today without the help of Alisha’s expertise. - Julie Brazitis
My manuscript definitely wound up in the hands of the right editor, [Gabrielle Harbowy]. -Hy Conrad, writer and producer of TV's Monk & White Collar
I worked with Alisha West at both the start and finish of writing my book. First she worked with me as a developmental editor for my non-fiction book, which involves a great deal of philosophy and feminist theory interwoven with autobiographical elements. West guided kindly and clearly to a better flowing, more polished, and significantly shorter work (now "just" 300 pages). She did this without losing the essential message, and maintaining my idiosyncratic humor and writing style. There is nothing like working with an educated, experienced human editor (especially as opposed to AI, but also to a less experienced editor) if you want to maintain your own voice while improving your book. West is a champion at this! - K'ai Roberts Fu, Author of 12 Mis-Steps: How Twelve-Step Programs Trip Up Trauma Survivors
