Praise from editing clients

“Sara and I met at a writers conference when I was looking for an editor to help organize my memoir. Sara did a detailed developmental edit. Because I was a new writer, she invited me to attend her life story class where every week, I read a portion of my story. It took me four years of tutoring, and I’m proud to say my memoir The Hardest Year: A Love Story in Letters During the Vietnam War was published in 2023. My letters would still be sitting in a dusty shoe book in the garage if it hadn’t been for Sara’s good help and following her advice to a ‘T.’”

— CAROLE WAGENER, AUTHOR OF THE HARDEST YEAR: A LOVE STORY IN LETTERS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR

 “Sara provided developmental editing for my memoir, and then copy editing. She was encouraging, thorough and inspirational. Her attention to detail is unique and appreciated. I couldn’t have published without her!”

— SHARON SHELTZER, AUTHOR OF WOMAN OVERBOARD: A SPLASH OF INSIGHT INTO SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND PSYCHOSIS

“After reading through Sara’s edits on one of my articles, I felt like I’d just been through a three-hour course in editing! She has helped me see how the editing process works and how beneficial a good editor can be. ”

— CAROLYN CHILTON CASAS, AUTHOR OF OUR SHARED BREATH

“I am indebted to my article editor, southern cuisine expert Sara Roahen, for rendering my work much clearer and more eloquent than what I first presented to her. ”
