“In nearly 20 years of publishing novels and short stories, I've had my share of Big House copy editors, line editors, and editorial editors, so I know what to expect from professionals in that field. For my latest project, I hired Felicia and I got more than I paid for. She saw the patterns of overused words that I'd become blind to after several drafts. She saw sentences that needed the slightest tweaking to improve them immensely.

She was a great sounding-board for my own ideas on editorial changes. She's also superhuman fast; I couldn't address her notes as fast as she provided them. She absolutely improved my manuscript. Thanks, Felicia!”

“There is one word for Felicia Sullivan's editing abilities: Awesome! Felicia has an uncanny ability to take a wordy sentence that makes no sense or is awkward, change a word or two, and the result is a clean sentence. When I look at her edits I'm like, "Why didn't I think of that??

For the manuscript of Unexpected World, Felicia suggested a different ending, one that wouldn't leave readers hanging, resulting in poor reviews. I took her suggestion, changed the ending and readers are loving the book and the ending. I can highly recommend Felicia for her professionalism, keen eye for detail, and timely work.”

“What I wanted from an editor was someone who was going to make me better. It's not enough to have someone fly through my work correcting errors but not teaching me to avoid them all together. Felicia was not only amazing to work with but she perfected my novel, took the time to tell me what I was doing wrong and how to fix it.

I know my next book will be better because of Felicia. I've already asked my publisher if I can continue to work with her in the future. I'm looking forward to many more books with Felicia guiding my voice and with each one growing and evolving into the best author I can be.”

“When I was first introduced to Felicia, I was told she was, "Almost frighteningly brilliant." I disagree. She's not almost frighteningly brilliant. She IS frighteningly brilliant. She somehow managed to whip through my manuscript with lightning-fast speed while also detecting grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and an embarrassing amount of overused words.

And the quickness with which she replied to emails had me wondering if she knew I was going to email her and what I was going to email her about before I even started typing. It was wonderful working with Felicia. Now I can't imagine working with anyone else!”

“Working with Felicia has been a wonderful experience. Not only is she approachable and easy to deal with, most importantly, the quality of her work is simply superb. Being my first novel, I had combed through it countless times, yet she still identified many weaknesses in my writing, improving and tightening both prose and dialogue to a traditional publishing house standard.

She is also extremely prompt and efficient during the back and forth revision process which is very important. I couldn't recommend her more highly. The proof of that is my next novel has already been scheduled to be edited by her.”

“My first experience with an editor was with someone who kept trying to turn my science fiction/adventure story into either a romance or fantasy. Fortunately, I only contracted for the first part of the book. In floundering for another editor, I found Felicia from her being referenced by authors whose books I enjoyed. What a difference! Felicia focused on improving my wording and not changing the story.

She pointed out bad habits I was unaware of, and I laughed when she forbade me to ever use the phrase "at least" again. "Ever, ever, ever." I believe I'm clearer now on using sets of other overused words and some habits in awkward sentence construction.

For a good editing job at very reasonable prices Felicia is hard to beat. She delivered when she said she would and was open to questions during and after the process.”

“Felicia was a dream to work with. She was very accommodating, patient,and professional. She had a great eye and listened to all my questions and suggestions. What I really valued was her prompt replies to my emails. I look forward to working with Felicia in the future and recommend her services to other authors.”

“While looking for an editor I could work with on my first novel, I found Felicia A. Sullivan through her website. Finding critical professional services through the internet is a risk for those new to the publishing business, but in Felicia's case I found her to be a super-talented editor with the ability to separate literary diamonds from dirt, a great talent for the editor of SCHISM to have.

SCHISM is a gritty crime novel with a large part of the dialogue written in street Ebonics. Felicia didn't bat an eye at the dialect; she jumped right in and waded through it, streamlining it in many places to make it easier on readers and she did it all professionally and with good humor.

I found her super easy to work with, patient, and very organized, offering high-quality editing at a very reasonable price and good advice along the way. I've asked her to put my new novel, ANGELICA, on her schedule. Having Felicia on your side is like holding a hand with all the aces!”

“Felicia was my saving grace in the midst of pure CHAOS! My editor went MISSING for six days, right around the time I was scheduled to have my edits done. Then my managing editor found Felicia! She took a very different approach than my previous editor. She did the nitty gritty work and allowed me to decide what to keep, what to cut, and what to revise on my own.

Together, we worked on my manuscript and got it in better shape than I could have ever hoped for, and got the final draft in a day before my deadline. If it wasn't for Felicia I would have had to push back my release date and stress even more.

She calmed my nerves, gave me a edited book I am more in love with now than I was before, and a professional yet friendly approach that makes me want her to be my editor all of the time. She is incredibly helpful, and will do anything to ensure you get what you need. I highly recommend Felicia. If you're wondering whether you should book her as your editor, YES, you should.”

“Felicia made me see my writing in a completely different way. I was amazed by how such small changes could make the story so much better and increase the pace. I'd definitely work with Felicia again and highly recommend her services to others.”

“When I decided to publish my work, I almost didn't hire an editor at all. I had very strong ideas about how my characters should sound, especially the protagonist who narrated the bulk of the story. I was afraid I'd get into long, complicated disagreements with an editor who would insist on changes that watered down the style that had taken me so long to find.

Felicia completely understood what I was trying to do. She suggested changes that made the language more readable while preserving the characters' voices. When we disagreed, Felicia always took pains to show respect and patience. I feel lucky to have found her.”

“I used Felicia to edit two of my novels, the first of which I self-published without the use of a professional editor. This turned out to be a big mistake, as it is absolutely essential to use the services of a professional editor before publishing. And I must say, Felicia is the best!

She's extremely professional, does a fantastic job of editing and cleaning up awkward prose without taking away or making changes to the story, and I couldn't be happier with her work. If you're on the fence about whether to hire an editor and whom to use, I urge you to hire Felicia as your editor - today - you won't regret it in the least.

And her pricing compares very favorably with other editors as well - a win-win situation all around. I will certainly be using Felicia for my future works - she's the best!”

“I was a little anxious about turning Felicia loose on my first professionally-edited novel. I was prepared for a traumatic, soul-baring experience, but it was none of those things. Felicia is personable and professional and I felt like my work was being carefully scrutinized without leaving me feeling like I was being judged personally. That's not an easy line for an editor to walk but Felicia does it with grace.

The service is very worthwhile. Every mistake she finds is one less that might show up in a review casting your work as "amateurish". The use of a good editor can make your work indistinguishable from work coming out of a big publishing house and that's what you want. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I've already reserved a spot with her for the next book.”

“Felicia was a joy to work with. She has good insight and an eye for details. I look forward to working with her again.”

“Exit Zero was my first book and introduction to the publishing world. Releasing your first manuscript to an editor is like releasing your first child to a kindergarten teacher; you are filled with both excitement and trepidation. Felicia was always professional, responsive and most of all, caring and understanding when working with a new author. I could not think of a better person to shape my book baby.”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Felicia Sullivan in preparing my Permuted Press novel KEZZIE OF BABYLON for publication. I found Felicia to be courteous, prompt, responsive and professional. Her suggestions were always spot-on and she displays an unerring instinct for bringing out the best in the people with whom - and projects on which - she works.

I would be pleased to recommend Felicia's services to both publishers and independent authors alike and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Felicia Sullivan has now edited three of my books in less than a year. I've been told by someone very critical that my work keeps getting better and better, and I owe that to Felicia. Only a top-notch editor would take the time to teach their clients where they go astray and how to improve before it even gets into her hands. She's become a friend and a guide. Thank you, Felicia, I'll never go anywhere else!”

“I published my first book without an editor, and comments like this from readers made me squirm: "There are some grammatical errors, but since I'm sure this was self-published, it's forgiven." I realized my best wasn't good enough. I needed a real editor for my second book. That's when I found Felicia.

She edited my second book, and here's what my readers are saying now: "I enjoyed a lovely time reading without screeching to a stop with a typo, misused or misspelled word or other failure of editing." And, "The writing style improved and seemed to have a smoother story line." I couldn't be happier with Felicia's work.

She is friendly and fun, but still professional; a real pleasure to work with. The best thing was she enhanced my voice - my book sounded like me, but better. Thanks to Felicia's help, I feel like my second book is a professional caliber novel and I'll trust her with all of my editing in the future.”

“Felicia is everything you need in an editor. She is professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She is transparent with and respectful of your work. She is flexible and sensitive to your goals and objectives, yet she holds nothing back.

She will find your work's weaknesses and show you how to strengthen them, and she has the experience and expertise to uncover the vulnerabilities in your writing that you didn't even know were there. Errors and flaws can run and hide, but she'll find them. In short, she will bring the best out of you and help make your writing sparkle.”

“Felicia has edited multiple books for me, and there's a reason why I keep asking for her from my publisher. She has that special eye for details that makes for a truly great editor, yet also knows just when to back away and not step on an author's particular style. Not only is that a great combination to have, it's also rare. I always know that when she has my manuscript it is in capable hands.”

“In my years of writing, I have worked with editors of all kinds. While some are awesome beyond words, there are those that give me a headache to think about. When I signed on with my publisher, I worried what kind of editor I would end up with this time. To my relief, I was assigned Felicia Sullivan. Not only is she the well educated professional so highly sought among editors, she is a genuine delight to work with.

She cut where I needed cutting, without the snide comments or belittling remarks some editors feel they must make. She just went ahead and fixed the small things, rather than wasting both of our time remarking on every little error. She was able to recognize when something was an obvious slip of the fingers, and when something might be a mistake in line of thought.

In short, she did a fantastic job and whipped my manuscripts into shape like never before! I hope we can work together for a long time still. I hesitate to share her with anyone else. I want her all for myself!”

“Felicia was very fast, very thorough, and very fair. I didn't feel like my voice was being overpowered and she really saw things (several things) that I had missed. My book couldn't have been as good as it was without her and I would definitely use her services over and over and over again. Great job and see you for the next one. Gerald Dean Rice, author of Vamp-Hire”

“I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the editor assigned to "fix" my book. Good grief, I had gone over it multiple times, what more could someone find that needed changing? That was my thought until Felicia came along. Change a word here, reverse them there, drop all those "but, as and just" (overused words I couldn't see). What Felicia sent back to me was almost as amazing as she is.

The manuscript now reads smooth, concise and perfect! Working with her has been a delight; she took the time to talk to me, to understand the story and my feelings toward it. I'm delighted to know she will be my editor on the other books in the series.

In fact, I'd be upset if she weren't! Felicia has changed my view on editors so much, that I will gladly hire her for editing my other fiction and non-fiction books that don't fit with this publisher. Felicia, THANK YOU!”

“The book Felicia edited for me is my fourth, but the first edited by her, and I think my search for an editor has finally ended. Felicia has a great eye for detail and a real knack for fixing the sentences so that the story flows better. She also finished my edit in record time, and informed me daily on her progress, which I really appreciated. I've already booked her for my next two books!”

“This was my first novel and first time working with Felicia. I really had no idea what to expect. You think to yourself "What are they going to do to my story?" When I received the manuscript back with the initial edits (and I'll admit there were a lot of red) I was disappointed in myself.

But as I read through the edits and saw what she had changed and how she had polished and improved the sentences, I realised that I could learn from her and perfect my writing skills. So what did Felicia do to my story? She made it better! Felicia is an incredible editor and not only improved my novel, but improved me as a writer.”

“When I got back the first edit of 'Irradiated', I started to go through it from start to finish. I found myself pressing 'accept change', over and over. So I decided to do a little experiment. I scrolled to a random section in my manuscript and read the original text. I then flicked to the edited version, and read that, too. Finally, I turned on the 'show markups' feature, to see what she had changed.

I did this for multiple sections, from various chapters of the novel. The result? Every single sample flowed better with Felicia's edits. Whether she'd made one change, or a few, it was always the same. She has an eye for spotting what works.

I shrugged my shoulders, hit 'accept all changes', and read the story from start to finish, instead. So, even if you think your novel is primed and polished--it can always be improved. Felicia is someone you can trust to do that.”

“Another fantastic job by Felicia. She has edited four books for me and I have booked my next editing job in already. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Best editor you could hope to find, professional, quick and thorough. What more could you ask for! Thanks again, Felicia.”

“Felicia was a dream to work with. We are in the process of polishing an already published book in order to submit to other publishers and our past editing experience was a nightmare. Working with Felicia was a true pleasure and very easy.

She was able to fix many mistakes and still keep our "voice" in the process. I would highly recommend her to any writers out there that are looking for professional editing. Thank you, Felicia, for a great experience.”
