The only thing I like more than writing is helping other people make their writing amazing. The more rad books in the world the better, right? Here's what some people I have helped have to say:
"Emily is patient, passionate, and has the keenest eye I’ve ever encountered. A lesser editor will give you generalized convention feedback; Emily will work with you on a personal and empathetic level to help you achieve your specific vision."
"Emily has the unique gift of critical empathy: she is able to inhabit a text and find its aspirations as well as its current limitations. Her feedback is astute, generous, and endlessly helpful. I would trust her to handle any of my work with care and insight.
"Emily Beyda is a generous and thoughtful reader with a keen eye for detail. Her readings are invaluable and have helped me become both a better writer and a better reader."
"Emily is speedy and thorough in her feedback with a strong attention to detail. In giving me notes, she perfectly zeroed in on what was working well and the areas that I needed to focus on to improve my writing. I couldn't recommend Emily more highly--two thumbs up!"
"Emily's critical commentary strikes that rare balance between incisively insightful and warmly humorous. She hits the quick of what's best about a story, works to help the story meet its own vision, and always, always makes you want to keep going. I love that about her editorial suggestions—through them, it's clear she's brilliant AND she's a brilliant motivator. Do yourself a favor: write a novel ASAP just to work on it with Emily Beyda."
