“I just finished writing my first book, and what better hands to be in than Julia’s. She understood my voice and message from the very beginning. Her guidance, creative direction, and editing helped to create a powerful, concise, and easy to read manuscript. She was mentor and guide through the entire writing process—truly a first time author’s dream come true!”

“After writing four nonfiction books, I took the risk of organizing my latest book without collaborating with a developmental editor. To ensure I had confidence in the quality of my ideas and writing style, I decided to get a manuscript assessment done. I interviewed 6 editors and realized Julia Pastore was clearly my best option.
In her 25-page assessment, Julia did the big picture organizing of content, moving chapters around in a sequence of ideas that massively improved the readers’ experience. In addition, her feedback on improving the flow of sentences or paragraphs was extremely clear and easy for me to implement. Finally, Julia is a terrific teacher about principles of developmental editing and the best formats for nonfiction books.
I consider her an elite performer.”

“Julia was the Executive Editor working on my health-cum-cookbook Cooking for Hormone Balance. As a first-time author, the project felt intimidating. Julia has not only made the process easy but also inspiring and encouraging. Her guidance has made me a better writer, researcher, and presenter. She is both strategic and has attention to details which is a rare quality. If you are committed to birthing a top-notch book, Julia is the person to work with.”

“Julia makes diamonds. Her work editing my book drew the concepts I'd hidden on the pages out into the light and structured it in a way that I hadn't been able to nail alone. Julia was encouraging, clear-sighted, professional, and creative. Despite being my first book, her polishing made it a huge success!”

“Julia Pastore showed me how to make my words sing. I owe the success of my book to her, and recommend her without reservation. Finding a suitable editor may be harder than finding a spouse, but when you find a good one, stick with her (or him) forever.”

“It was a joy to work with Julia Pastore on two of my books. She gave me valuable editorial advice continued support and was always quick to respond. Throughout every stage of production, she was helpful, supportive, and respectful of my time. Julia truly helped bring my books to their true potential, capturing my voice so my unique approach to food and wellness shined through.
I highly recommend her.
