Testimonials

"I have worked with several professional editors in my 20-year career, but April is the one I trust the most.  She is astute in the workings of storycraft without imposing "rules." She's that extra pair of eyes that helps me see where my writing needs work."

- Catherine Wells

"Ms. L'Orange has edited several dozen pieces of fiction for me, ranging in length from short-shorts to over 20,000 words. I've always been very impressed with her insightful comments, her sharp eye, and her extremely short turnaround times. She has a deep understanding of story structure, characterization, and nuanced use of language. I'm looking forward to working with her more in the future."

- Jennifer Spohr, M.A.

"I thought my piece was well-polished and ready to face the world until April gave it a look-over and showed me where my weaknesses were. After following her suggestions I submitted it to a Writer's Workshop and got very good reviews. Thank you so much, April! My work wouldn't be nearly as good without your help."

- Josie Beaudoin

"I feel I've found an editor that really has it on the ball. It's not just a "geez, why doesn't she dot her i's and cross her t's." And to make a book work, and sell, it takes a good editor. . . . I can't believe I have been fortunate enough to find an editor with real passion. Just from [April's] comments I can tell some of things I need to work on. And I can see through [her] eyes too, where and how. This makes the book mesh and come out right."
