FIREDOVE EDITING TESTIMONIALS​​

​

Angie was great to work with! She was 100% invested in my project and my success, from the brainstorming/big-picture stage to the line edits. My story is better because of her expertise. So very thankful to have found Angie!

People say they would highly recommend someone all the time without giving it much thought, but I assure you, I really mean it! I cannot tell you how valuable Angie’s editing expertise was. She has a keen eye for details, and I could not have asked for any better service than what she provided. She made my book shine by enhancing and perfecting my story while honoring my writing style. The book she edited for me, Dear John (The Birthday Gift—Book 2) was honored with the International Impact Book Award and Book Excellence Award. I don’t think that would have happened without Angie’s superior editing services. I wish I had found her earlier in my writing career.

Angie is a pleasure! I so appreciate her attention to detail and flexibility to match the style I needed. Her communication is excellent, and the product is most assuredly better after being in her hands!

I was so scared to hire an editor, but I could never have asked for a better one! Angie truly cares for the stories she edits as well as the authors behind the books on a spiritual level. Her useful feedback on my developmental edit supports trends in my genre and ultimately helps me make my novel the best it can be. She takes time to chat with me and help me understand questions I might have or generate ideas for sections of my story I want to change. Her patience and dedication to authors shows she goes above and beyond what many editors might do. I’m new to the publishing process, and Angie has been a steady friend and guide at my side throughout this whole journey.

Angie Grigaliunas is one of those rare breeds of editor who knows how to blend a high level of professionalism with an approachable warmth. She drives you to consider every part of your story more deeply--the whys, wheres, and hows of your characters and even your skills as a writer will be challenged in a way that benefits not only your storyline but your storycraft. Her honesty is another major point in her favor. While some editors may avoid suggesting a step back when a manuscript needs more revisions, Angie will directly (though kindly) tell you if your manuscript needs to go back to the drawing board or if it's indeed ready for those more advanced edits. If you’re looking for someone who will laugh at all the right scenes while pointing out how to elevate your dialogue and pacing, look no further. Angie​’s skills have ensured her a place high on the list of people I intend to work with again whenever she is available—and a savvy writer, regardless of the stage in their process, will wisely do the same.

I had reached out to Angie in a panic. I had a scholarship essay due the next day, and she was more than willing to cooperate with my schedule on such short notice. Within an hour, she had meticulously combed through 1,500 words worth of work, offered suggestions for rewording, and fixed the grammar issues I didn’t even know were there. Because of Angie, I was able to step into the scholarship application with confidence, knowing I wouldn’t have to worry about typos or grammar issues. Thanks, Angie! (And I got the scholarship!)

I worked with Angie concerning my debut novel and she is a phenomenal editor! I found her to be very thorough and passionate about keeping the heart of my manuscript and writing style, while being encouraging and insightful. Would definitely work with again and recommend her services to authors! The best part of working with Angie was how kind she was and how she made suggestions that were not in a bashing way (which was my previous experience I had with an editor). I felt her feedback helped my heart in a deeper and more impactful way after applying her edits. Her work went beyond what I expected!

Angie is a fantastic editor and the money you spend hiring her will be well worth it! She has an eye for detail in both plot and character and will help your book become the very best it can be! Also, her fangirling over my characters throughout the process gave me so much hope and encouragement that my book was hitting its target and that my characters were able to made a connection with a real human being. She was very supportive through the entire process, and she was willing to answer and clarify questions I had even after I’d paid her in full and she’d finished reading through my manuscript. Because of her my characters and world read better on page. She’s helped me to breathe life into the world I created, and there are scenes in the book now that wouldn’t have been there without her. She helped me make my book into something spectacular!

Angie has been an invaluable resource to me—she is thorough, knowledgeable, and reliable. I really appreciate her encouragement and enthusiasm and help in bringing my writing up to the next level. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a quality editor.
