“Heidi is an incredible developmental and line editor. I’ve worked with her on six books now, including my debut, and I can’t believe how lucky I got finding her. Working with Heidi is like getting a degree in writing and storytelling. She understands story structure and character development on a very deep level. What I love most about her is that she doesn’t hold back when it comes to feedback. If something is wrong with the story, she’ll tell you (very nicely), and then she’ll help you work through it. Her feedback is a critical part of my process and I can confidently say that it’s made my books 10 times better.”
Cat Johnson, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author
“I’ve worked with Heidi on the edits for two dozen published titles, and I can say with confidence she has made me a better writer. In fact, I often hear her editorial comments in my head as I’m writing a new work-in-progress, which is helpful once I get over the disturbing knowledge that I’m hearing voices. :)”
N.J. Walters, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author.

“Heidi Shoham is an extremely talented editor! We’ve worked together on many of my books, and she makes every one of them better. She’s got great attention to detail, is organized, has an eye for plot-holes and how they can be fixed, as well as making sure that my heroes, heroines and secondary characters are well developed with stories that move forward at a good pace, and with a satisfying resolution. I highly recommend her!”
Jenna Bayley-Burke, USA Today bestselling author
“Heidi is fast, sharp, and straightforward. She is thorough and meticulous, yet knows how to balance writing technicalities with author voice. She has the ability to look at the story as a whole, as well as sentence by sentence. Her suggestions make my work better.”
Desiree Holt, USA Today Bestselling Author
“The sun shone on me the day I got Heidi Shoham as an editor. She has a total grasp of my writing and knows how to take my words and make them sing. She is always very careful not to change my voice and her edits continue to make my books winners. I highly recommend her to everyone.”
“From working with Heidi over multiple books, I’ve found her to be prompt, professional, and thorough. I’ve learned more about pacing and sentence structure from Heidi than any craft book or writing course. I will be using her editorial services on my own books (both traditional and self-published) and have gladly recommended her to other authors.”
Sarah M. Anderson, RITA award winning author

“Heidi Shoham swept into my life in 2008 with a sea of red comments and hasn’t stopped making me a better writer since. I trust her beyond question, have faith that she is helping me craft and write the best book I can, and willingly put my career in her hands. Heidi has this amazing ability to see to the heart of my characters and know them sometimes better than I do. I can’t fathom what I would do without her.”
“I love working with Heidi. She’s easy to work with. Is able to pinpoint what needs work and throws in smiles and praise when she likes something, too. She definitely helped make my writing better. I highly recommend her.”
“Heidi Shoham is, hands down, the best editor I’ve ever worked with. She made my latest SHINE.”
“I have written for four different publishers, including New York, and have fifteen novels/twenty-three novellas out there. While all my editors have been helpful, I can say that working with Heidi Shoham is a pleasure. She picks up on details that writers sometimes overlook and makes straightforward suggestions.”
“Over the years, I’ve had many editors at traditional publishing houses. Heidi Shoham is one of the best. She offers thorough editing, insightful comments, and quick turnaround. Whenever I had a question, she was more than willing to provide advice. You can’t go wrong with Heidi’s editing.”
