What people are saying . . .

  • "Krissa Lagos is a terrific copyeditor and has worked with me on two books. For the first, she stepped in late in the process after a different copyeditor stepped away. For the second book I asked for her to be my copyeditor and I was fully pleased with her work. She has the perfect copyeditor skills but with the vision of an all-around editor. Fact-checking, grammar improvements, sentence structure and placement are all done well but she doesn’t shy away from noting places that need more clarity or raising concerns about graph order and eyeing places for takeaway and meaning. I’ve recommended her to other writers and will look forward to working with her again. Above all, she’s a true professional who is also a real champion of one’s work."

  • "My experience with Krissa, beginning with our collaboration at She Writes Press, was remarkable. Her adeptness in providing insightful and comprehensive feedback enhances the narrative flow without compromising the writer's voice. Her work on a second manuscript led to its successful acquisition by a small press. Krissa's timely and professional approach, coupled with her editorial expertise, makes working with her an absolute pleasure. Her unique skill of enhancing while preserving the writer's vision is truly exceptional."

  • "Krissa Lagos is an absolute goddess of copy editing! She is insightful and incisive, and her work on both of my award-winning novels made them better books. The fact that she is a warm and engaging communicator and a title genius are icing on the cake. Highly recommended!"

    — Barbara Stark-Nemon, author of Even in Darkness and Hard Cider

  • "It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your baby. Krissa was the book doula of my dreams. She helped with every aspect of my book - from structure to research to writing - and carried me through the many moments when I was ready to throw my laptop in the river. I would not have made it from ideation to publication without Krissa’s immense talent, dedication, professionalism, and commitment to my project. One could not ask for a better companion on the journey to authorship."
