Testimonials
"I have wanted to write a book for twenty years and I knew I couldn’t do it alone. However, one of my biggest fears was that my heart, passion, and tone would be disrupted or overshadowed during the editing process. All of my fears were alleviated when I met Tori Thacher. She pulled the best out of me as we built the concept for my first book, Neighborliness, and helped shape the structure of the message that was burning in my heart.
Tori's ability to help me envision how a reader would receive the message was vital to the eventual success of the book and the warm reception it received from the general public. I highly recommend her services. Your message will be sharper and your voice will be amplified through her skill and passion in editing your work."
