Testimonials


Here’s what clients have to say about Engineered Editing


“There’s so much I could say about Allyson. She didn’t just evaluate my work, she elevated my work and elevated me as a writer. She had genuine interest in my manuscript but also in me as a person.

Allyson was beyond thorough… This isn’t just her job or even career, it’s clearly her passion and joy!”

– Linda Buchelt-Spaulding, PhD
Science Fiction Author


I absolutely loved using Engineered Editing for my manuscript.

Allyson gave me far more detailed feedback on my story than previous editors and is well worth the price. She is invested in making the manuscript shine and coming up with alternative solutions to resolve plot holes or story structure issues.

Her analytical abilities are extremely well developed and without having to give more context to the story, was able to understand the overall themes and pinpoint what could make the story stronger and which characters were necessary for the plots… I will be coming back when book 2 is ready.

– Trad-Seeking Urban Fantasy Author


“Allyson’s comments on my novel not only made sense, but [revealed] some I never considered before. I am also grateful for the links and manuscript highlights on how to distinguish and use different kinds of third-person POVs.”
