TESTIMONIALS

"I asked Kseniya Melnik for the developmental edit of my novel-in-progress. She wrote notes for each chapter, answered my questions by email, and we had an almost three-hour long Skype call to discuss the novel in depth. Kseniya is an early reader for much of my work, offering extensive feedback and a sharp editorial eye. She is a top-tier analyst of character, pacing, and structure—and she always ‘gets it.’ With her piercing insight, fine-tuned aesthetics, and bullet-like ability to find the soft spot in any story, Kseniya has helped me become a better writer."

"Kseniya's critique of my novel manuscript has been extremely worthwhile, both to my current draft and in general to my experience as a writer. She helped me to see my novel with an editorial eye and this is important for a new writer. Kseniya is a sensitive and thorough editor, who has a great ability to understand a writer's aim, the story's essence, and then provide insightful suggestions that help the writer to feel guided but not controlled. I was provided with detailed reading notes with general thoughts and questions, in-text notes, email correspondence and a Skype conversation to answer any final questions about her feedback. I will certainly return to Kseniya with future drafts and recommend her to authors at any stage of the writing process."
