What my Clients say…
Jason Stoiber
After finishing my first manuscript, I debated whether or not to take classes in grammar and formatting to learn what I didn’t know about them, or hire an editor.Once Natasja was the first to respond to my request for editing references on Facebook, I decided to send my work to her instead. It was the best choice. Her services are more informative than any class or tutorial. She gets deep into the mechanics of your work, line-be-line, and leaves no stone unturned. I learned valuable tools about getting my format correct and saved hundreds, if not thousand, of dollars in the process.I had the added bonus of her help in making my story more authentic with her South African expertise. My story’s most important character is a native inhabitant of the region! Who knew?! A most pleasant coincidence and truly a gift to have her help to polish my story and hone my craft.

Natasja is a gem of a proofreader. She has a keen eye for detail, excellent communication skills and works in a timely manner. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to improve and polish their writing. My novels would not have the finished quality without her. Being able to contact Natasja and her skills is a huge reassurance and I am sure I will continue to use her for future works.
Randy Cook
As a debut author, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have engaged Natasja. Her edits were both professional and insightful. She not only made corrections, she took the time to get to know my work and offered advice that I believe led to significant improvements. I will most certainly work with her on future endeavors and would not hesitate to recommend her to any writer experienced or novice as I found her patience and candor invaluable.
Cindy Hossain
I was unsure which services I required when I first contacted Natasja. However, after reviewing a sample of my work, she quickly pointed out the best options for me. She was professional, patient, and friendly throughout my editing journey and delivered ahead of schedule. I cannot recommend her enough, as her editing enriched my writing immensely, and I will be using her services again in the future.
Laci Naranjo
This was my first book and my first time ever engaging in this type of work. Natasja was very upfront with me from the start and basically held my hand throughout this process (which Idesperately needed!!). Her editing was very thorough and insightful, and she really challenged me as a writer to think about what I’m trying to say and where I’m trying to go in my stories. She taught me sentence structuring along the way and I’m now able to use this skill in my writing. She was very patient with me and listened to my worries and questions, offering advice and guidance every step of the way. She edited my book within the time limit we agreed on and even squeezed in a quick second edit for me when I decided to change my story up last minute! Even though my editing is done, she still offers advice when I reach out. Natasja is knowledgeable in multiple genres and offers suggestions and edits that really make the story flow and work. I will continue to work with her throughout my writing career, and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a professional edit! Thank you, Natasja!

It was rather a serendipitous accident that Natasja and I encountered each other. I put my need for an editor out on Facebook and she was one of the first to respond. Quite frankly, that’s the major reason I went with her. I’m an impulsive buyer, and I’ve not regretted it. She continually checked in with me. She supplied me with so much resource material to help me become a better writer. I’m still trying to read through it all. Natasja takes an interest in your story as if it was her own. Her professional demeanor sets a new standard. I simply can’t recommend her enough.

Working with Natasja was a pleasure. She offered insightful perspectives and gave thorough explanations of her edits to my manuscript. She was professional, thorough, patient, and dedicated. I will definitely seek out her services for future projects.
Tiffany Schidzick
Natasja provided her editing service for my debut novel. I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and timely manner. Not only did she provide fantastic editing, but was extremely helpful with my many questions regarding the process. She went above and beyond her basic requirements to provide amazing support, feedback, and suggestions on character development and story flow. I am truly thankful to have found Natasja for my writing journey, and I am looking forward to working with her on the continuation of my in-progress trilogy. I highly recommend Natasja for any editing and proofreading needs.
HD Wilburn
I've been working with Natasja for about two years now. I met her when she started beta reading for me. Originally, I had another editor but it wasn't a good fit. Natasja helped me get my first book published. She's great to work with, keeps the voice of the author and is a perfectionist at what she does. She's since edited another three books for me. I highly recommend Natasja.
Jens Budinger
Natasja was extremely helpful in identifying not only the potential issues with the novel but also the good and the great parts! She was always happy to discuss her comments and propose suggestions instead of just pointing out things that didn't work. I'd happily recommend her to anyone as a beta reader for her insightful and gentle demeanour which is growing increasingly rare these days!
Dierdre Oliver
I recently asked for a beta reader for a book due to be released in about a month. Normally readers claim that is far too short a time frame, but not Natasja. She responded and offered to also proofread the work. Not only did she read the book quickly, thereby giving me plenty of time to work on the manuscript, her editing and proofreading work was meticulous and professional. Queries were dealt with quickly without ado. I ended up with nearly two weeks in hand after the edit. Based on my experience I'd get her to edit my books in a heartbeat!
Toni Garret
I can't thank Natasja enough for her help on my manuscript. As an aspiring author, I was looking for someone who would be able to read my work and help me develop it into a something I could confidently send out to agents. Natasja has helped me see what my reader sees and to progress my style so that they see what I intend them to see. Natasja has a keen eye for detail, plot and character voice. She provides honest and relevant feedback, and I would not hesitate in recommending her service.
Jens C. Büdinger
Natasja has proven to be extremely helpful and forthcoming. She is quick to respond to my messages and very reliable on all fronts. Her attention to detail and meticulousness has outclassed her editing predecessors and thus remains someone who I hope I can rely on for future projects.
