Books I've Worked On

Kind Words From Authors

"I owe Sarah a huge debt. After skim reading both the editorial report and the numerous insights Sarah left in the manuscript itself, I can see just how deeply she immersed herself into the book—thank you! This has been a truly rewarding experience and I would recommend Sarah's services to anyone." 

Colin T.
Detective fiction author

"Sarah’s process was simple and personal. I appreciated the updates through the whole process as I had never worked with an editor before. Now, I feel my book is stronger. Having Sarah's critical voice gave me more confidence."

Eli M.
Fantasy author

“I enlisted the services of Sarah Fraps to do some editorial work on my book . . . She was phenomenal! Super professional. As a new author I felt very safe about putting my work in her hands."

E. A. Wright
Author of A Vine of Myth

“I kept finding too many errors in my book. I'd done the proofreading myself and decided it was time I called in the help of a professional. I was most impressed by Sarah's thoroughness. Sometimes I'd look at an error Sarah had spotted and be amazed that she managed to find it. I now have confidence that readers of my book will not be annoyed by constant,  minor grammatical and contextual errors."

Mark Moore
Author of The Bewitching Minute, 33 1/3,  Pillar Eight, 2112, Mayday Grey, Stepping Over Bodies

"My manuscript was finished but not polished. I had tried other proofreaders, but I was hoping for a more professional experience, which is exactly what I got with Sarah. Now my book is on to formatting and cover edits!"

Cortney Raymond
Author of The Meaning of Okay

“I loved working with Sarah. She was professional and obviously knows her craft. She returned my manuscript in the agreed upon timeline and had great insight on getting my grammar corrected. I look forward to using her services again!"

Susanna Heiskanen
Author of Arctic Paradise, Sustainable Minimalism

“I had an extremely poor editing job done by a previous 'professional.' Sarah's exceptional timeliness stood out to me. I knew I was receiving quality service when I received her review of the manuscript. Now, I am very happy to have a professional novel!"

James A. Sesnak
Author of Quirk of Fate

"Sarah's utterly transparent, direct, caring, and professional approach, while capturing the heart and soul of the book, helped me find my written voice and kept the flow and tone while tidying up my inexperienced grammar."

Dave Lutes
Author of Guidance, Goofs, & Grace

“The manuscript review process was very professional. The inline comments on Sarah's reactions were great. She let me know when I had accomplished a surprise or stirred up an interesting question. I would definitely recommend a manuscript review to other writers.”

R. D. D. Smith
Author of The Robot Surgeon Series

"Sarah and I have only collaborated on short stories, but her edits have proved invaluable in getting my stories into publishing shape. Her editing is thorough and professional, and she goes above and beyond with insights and suggestions. I have worked with several editors, and Sarah stands out as one I keep coming back to again and again."

David Mullin
Author of Threads of Fate, Bar Fly, Circle of Light, The Closet

"Sarah was great to work with and got the job done quickly. Thank you!"

Marius H. Visser
Author of The Call of Jonas Creed

"Sarah’s work on my two articles was very thorough, and I appreciated that she was willing to give the 'Track Changes' version of the documents I requested. Her delivery was very punctual, too. Thank you, Sarah!"

Caroline H.
Nonfiction author & blogger

"English is not my first language, and as this is my debut novel, I needed all the help I could get. My original manuscript was a collection of short stories, which required significant work to transform into a cohesive narrative. My manuscript went from 'salvageable' to something I actually enjoy reading. Sarah has been pivotal in how I learned to write a novel. I really appreciated Sarah's approach because her neutrality was very professional, which helped me focus on the areas that needed work first, rather than seeking reassurance. I highly recommend working with Sarah. Her support and expertise were invaluable in navigating the publishing process. In a field with many unreliable individuals, she stands out as a trustworthy professional. Without her guidance, I doubt I would have successfully published my work."

Tony Salles
Author of award-winning novel, The Coffee Traveler (coming soon)

“This was my first attempt at writing a book. Because I am new to this whole book-writing process, I really appreciated Sarah's assistance. I would definitely recommend her services. She not only corrected my mistakes but provided a copy of the book that was ready for publishing."

Marty Mandel
Author of Nexus of Power

"Now that my book is edited, I love it even more. Sarah helped me tighten up my writing and made the book that much better. She brought up interesting ideas for the book that I hadn't thought of myself. Her authenticity and feedback stood out to me. I loved that she didn't just say, 'this sentence needs revision' or 'this isn't working,' but explained how I could revise or fix it. Overall, I enjoyed the whole editing process. It was smooth and comfortable! I definitely recommend Sarah's services, especially to writers who are working on their first book. It can be so intimidating and Sarah put me at ease."

Hafdis Hafsteins
Author of Awakening

“Having Sarah as my editor made me feel like we were on the same page. Right away, I felt that I could trust Sarah and that her approach was very professional. She provides security in the way documents are shared; she gave very good feedback and listened to my concerns."

Rebecca Robbins
Author of Breakfast From the Farm

"After several rejections from agencies, I had a feeling that something was wrong with my manuscript. The Custom Manuscript Masterplan helped me understand how to fix and smooth out my story. Working together, I felt Sarah truly cared about my book and wanted to help me make it better. Her feedback was honest—when the story didn’t work, she said it. I would 1000% recommend this service to other writers!"

Leo Andronov
Contemporary fiction author

"I wanted to get some professional insight into what was working well and what might need changing before my first revision. Now, I know where I'm going with the story, and I'm excited to finish additions. I loved the personalization of this service, and it was nice to chat with Sarah about it afterwards."

Emma A.
YA fantasy author

"Sarah's attention to detail, professional editing process, clear contract with expectations on the outcome and timelines, thorough review of the manuscript, incorporation of the language standards with high quality, detection of errors and simplification of the process to fix them made the entire editing experience an enjoyable one."

Amritha Kailas
Author of Wisdom of the Unshakeable

"I am extremely impressed with Sarah's professionalism. Everything from the forms she had me fill out to uploading my files to the project interface, her ability to meet the deadlines we agreed upon, and our email exchanges. I suspected that I needed to narrow my focus, and with her guidance and feedback, she confirmed this idea. All in all, I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Sarah!"

Monica G.
Creative nonfiction author

"I needed an outsider's assessment of and response to my writing. Sarah's reactions and notes of points of confusion were helpful, as was the option to ask follow-up questions. I would recommend Sarah's services. She answered all of my questions about my plot and characters on time, within budget, and with friendliness."

Author of The Sisterhood of Motherhood
