Meghan RoknichI’m so grateful to have worked with Scott Editorial. The guidance I received has helped me so much throughout my writing journey. Ellie is so kind and helpful while being there for everything I’ve needed during the editing process and beyond that.Posted on Google
Rita BatesMy experience working with two editors at Scott Editorial has been amazing. The feedback I've received has helped me build a stronger story. We've delved into structure going deeper to repair any plot shortcomings and building characters that are richer and more complex through description and interiority.Posted on Google
Ruth SgExcellent and very helpful service. It helped me a lot, and I really needed an outside opinion that was also professional (different from my friends' opinions, haha). I'm very grateful :)Posted on Google
Monica JorgensenI've worked with several different editors over the years, and Scott Editorial is by far the best. What really sets Ellie apart is her ability to see both the big picture and the small details of a story. She has an incredible eye for story structure, pacing, character development, and plot holes, and her feedback always makes my manuscript stronger without taking away from my voice or the story I'm trying to tell. As a romance author, it's especially important to me to work with an editor who truly understands the genre. Ellie understands that the romance and the emotional journey between the characters need to be at the heart of the story. Her feedback is thoughtful, specific, and actionable, and she doesn't just point out when something isn't working. She helps me understand why it isn't working and how I might fix it. I always come away from an edit excited to dive back into my manuscript. I trust her completely with my stories and can't recommend Scott Editorial highly enough.Posted on Google
Fahad FataniAs an author, working with Scott Editorial has been a breath of fresh air. To begin with, they definitely know what they are doing. Their expertise shines through with every edit and conversation. Right from the start, and with every round of edits, it was clear to me that they were invested in the success and readability of my story. Extremely grateful for their support, and a special thanks to Ellie who has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I would easily recommend Scott Editorial and I pray for their continued success.

Kathryn BarnettI have received such wonderful support from the editors, their feedback has helped me to take my writing further and publish my book.Posted on Google
Greg IsraelI just received my last batch of developmental edits from Carlie at Scott Editorial, and the process has been fantastic from start to finish. I appreciated getting a free sample edit at the start. It allowed me to see the exact kind of feedback I would be getting before committing to working with Carlie. Thanks to her detailed feedback and suggestions, I have a clear path forward to revising my novel. I also appreciated the very fair editing rates and the ability to pay-as-you-go during the editing process.Posted on Google
NickelUPDATE: Just finished my 2nd novel with Dani Edwards - it's not enough for me to say "she helped me with my book." I'd ask questions that I couldn't even figure out how to ask, but she made sense of my chaos. Working with her has given me so much more confidence in my manuscript and has strengthened my knowledge/skills as a writer. I look forward to the next adventure!! ---- This is my first time using an editor's service. I was nervous about reaching out but Amy is very easy to talk to. She literally is meeting me where I'm at on my journey as a writer, and that gave me the confidence I needed to move forward.Posted on Google
Akili RoseDec 2025- This time I worked with Natasha who is very professional and knowledgeable! We decided my 3rd book needs a total re-write, so we're still working on that, but I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her on this! May 2025 - I worked with Emma and Amy to get my 2nd book edited and ready for publication. Both seem to care a lot about what they are doing and are very understanding and kind. I highly recommend this group!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Ellie was my editor, and I warmly recommend her. She was sharp, attentive to detail, and her structural feedback, particularly on character psychology, was incredibly insightful. She had a real knack for pinpointing the exact issue and putting her finger on what needed to be addressed. She was always available, warm, and approachable throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend her.Posted on Facebook

Daniela FrendoLike many authors, I was nervous about working with a professional editor for the first time. But from the very beginning, Amy and Emma put me at ease and helped me feel much more confident about my work. Emma provided insightful feedback, addressed all my questions and concerns with care, and even helped me choose the perfect title for my book. Meanwhile, Amy offered practical advice on self-publishing and marketing, and was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. Working with both of them has been a lovely experience, and I’m so grateful for their expertise and support.Posted on Facebook
Author Mary HendersonAs a new indie author, finding the right editor is key to your success. I took the recommendation of another author and reached out to Scott Editorial. After a free 1,000-word edit, I knew I had made the right decision. I was matched with Carlie, and there was an instant connection. She is tough but funny, unwavering in her professionalism yet encouraging—a perfect mix for a nervous first-time author. Her video chats felt like talking to a close friend. She just got me. She was able to see what I was aiming for in my characters and story and helped me bring my words to life. And let me tell you, my first manuscript was awful! My debut novel was released in 2024, and I know I couldn’t have done it without her. She was relentless in ensuring I didn’t get lazy with my descriptions and would often ask probing questions about my characters, prompting me to dig deeper to bring them to life. I just finished my second novel with her, and I can say that it received the same treatment. Carlie kept me going when I wanted to throw my laptop out the window. Amy was also amazing to work with, always there to offer advice and information. She volunteered to format and upload my manuscript to Amazon and endured my rambling emails with a smile. Having Scott Editorial on my side as a new author has been key to making my dreams come true as I pursue this career. I highly recommend them to any author looking for a personal touch. Their professionalism and individual attention were everything I needed. Now, on to book three!Posted on Facebook
Akili Rose - AuthorI had to pleasure of working with Amy and Emma of Scott Editorial. Both of them are very professional and they really seem to care about what they are working on. My editor, Emma, helped me fix a lot of problems and has been wonderfully kind for this whole adventure. I know I have other author friends who have worked with them, and they gave great reviews as well!! I highly recommend this group!Posted on Facebook
HL BannCarlie has been so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of editing my first novel. She is thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging. She has inspired me to push myself throughout the entire process and I truly know that my story would not be the novel it has become without her insight and feedback. I absolutely would recommend Scott Editorial to everyone, but especially those new to the process and working on their debut works. I have had every question answered completely and promptly. After trying to navigate my way through the self publishing process without an editor, I can whole-heartedly say that my novel would be a completely different work without Carlie!Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
