Testimonials

As I have pointed out, I am an experienced editor. Knowing their work is better for another set of eyes, many writers seek editors. Frequently they ask for recommendations from other authors. Below are excerpts from emails, letters, and other feedback I’ve received from editing clients regarding my work with them and editing their manuscripts.

Lara is responsive, considerate, and thorough. She values my voice and style as an author and brings out the best in me and my writing.

Cora Flynn, author of erotic romantic suspense series Cascade of Lies (2023)

“Lara, you were a fantastic mentor. I don’t think these words would have made it into book format without your keen eye.”

Annie Marcus, author of contemporary romance Small Town Romance (2024)

Your recommendations made all the difference in this book. I so appreciated the direction, and it was a big deal process to do all the restructuring but all of the people feel more real to me and I can see how that comes through as I read it over. Thanks so much for your support.

Annie Ballard, author of women’s fiction Angels in the Architecture (2021)

Teach not tell… of editing. Love that as a new author. Feel like I learned so much and love the final result. Thank you!

Wendy Justine, author of military romantic suspense series Onyx Black Ops (2022)

I appreciate all the work you’ve put in thus far. I’m making a list of questions per chapter in my notebook so that when we get to the live-chat stage, I’ll already know what I want to ask.

C. McBride, science fiction fantasy author

patient, helpful, has a sense of humor and genuinely wants her clients to succeed.

Carolyn, tutors.com writing client

Thank you sooooooo very much for reading my book. I really appreciate it so much! …I had thought about breaking up the first 5 chapters. …as you said, it interferes with a lot else of the book.

Koriana B., poly erotic romance novel author

Your edits are so very helpful. I’ve already accepted and changed the ones that were quick and when I have time go back and make the other changes
