"Best script doctor ever.... River is the best editor in my arsenal. They’re kind and keen-eyed, with a knack for pacing and amplifying tension. They cheer wholeheartedly for your characters, and help pinpoint their core arcs. They see what makes your story unique, and help sharpen those elements so they shine.
Can’t recommend River enough."

Roger Sandri

"My amazing editor and cheerleader. All those comments on my manuscript taught me how to actually edit my book. I wish we’d worked together sooner.... I'm thrilled with the work they've done to make Den of Stone a published novel I can be proud of. I know who I’m working with in the future."

Cat Wynn

"River Ari did a development edit for me and their comments were concise but also detailed with a sharp eye for story beats and high level story themes. They were incredibly prompt and delivered feedback in a very palatable way which we all know is a talent and an art. Their feedback was also clear and focused. Highly recommend if you're looking for help on taking your manuscript to the next level."

Anne Sharp

"River’s in-depth Developmental Edit Letter was exactly what I was looking for and desperately needed to help guide me toward the right path with my novel.... Twelve pages of treasure that both enlightened me and confirmed things about my novel, Billy the Grim (the good, the bad, and the ugly). I am so pleased with their in-depth work and ability to critically but gently identify and explain problem areas that I, the writer, could not bring into focus."

Mandy Rodrigues

"Working with them is a genuine delight. River tackles everything: developmental issues, character and tone, pacing, sensitivity issues, down to line edits. Their takes on neurodiverse and queer realities, particularly, are golden.... River knows how to praise your good assets while showing you where and how you can do better.... Recommend them to everyone!"

Neil Bullock

"Need an editor? I highly recommend River. Always kind and constructive. Your manuscript will be so much better."

Holly Cline

"River’s notes and comments were everything I was hoping for and more. Thank you for your brilliant feedback. I can't even begin to describe how much stronger this chapter feels with the changes you suggested."

"Can't wait for everything else we do together! You need them in your corner!"
