Client Testimonials
Megan was exactly the right person to review a book like mine. She understood what I set out to do and my angle of approach. She could combine her excellent grasp of discourse with an understanding of theological intricacies, and home in on weaknesses and inconsistencies that would rock the boat -or even get it to capsize. I will happily use her services again!
Megan Easley-Walsh did a full edit for me on a cross-genre manuscript. Her knowledge of both story and writing conventions within different genres was insightful and helpful. Megan provided a thorough edit with useful suggestions and specific feedback for my story. She pointed out what worked and what needed improvement, which was exactly what I needed. It was a joy working with Megan and I highly recommend her to writers in need of a professional and knowledgeable editor.
Megan Easley – Walsh gave me general impressions on two large manuscripts and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her work. In a timely manner she provided me with acute insights into both books clearly indicating that she had carefully invested her time in a close read of the material. Her feedback has given me new directions in my writing and helped me clarify many areas of development, areas I wouldn’t have seen without her help. It is also clear that Megan is very familiar with the publishing world. She offered me numerous suggestions on how to better prepare my manuscripts for querying agents and for other publishing options. I can say without a doubt that will continue to reach out to Megan in the future as I try and develop my writing career.
Megan Easley-Walsh has a brilliant grasp of story and I knew I needed her content edit of ABOARD PROVIDENCE. I loved that Megan didn’t try to change my story, but instead she provided insight that helped me shape my story into something more powerful. Thanks in part to her editing, ABOARD PROVIDENCE is under contract for publication! Megan is easy to work with and delivers her edits with gentleness and respect, which makes the editing process so much more enjoyable for sensitive writers like me. I highly recommend Megan’s editing services!
Megan has been an absolute joy to work with. Her feedback is clear and specific, which is exactly what I needed for my query and synopsis, and she is both personable and professional. I would recommend her to any aspiring writer without hesitation.
Megan did a query critique for me, and it was by far the most thorough critique I've ever gotten. She took the time to analyze each portion of my query and not only point out what didn't work, but gave great suggestions as well. I highly recommend her if you're looking for help with your query.
Megan's query critique was very helpful and insightful, pointing out both the strengths and weaknesses of my letter. She also had a crazy fast turnaround time, getting back to me about a half hour after I wrote her. I recommend her to anyone struggling to nail down their query.
I won a query critique from Megan Easley-Walsh as part of Writability's 4th Blogoversary Giveaway. Megan answered the same day and with great enthusiasm. I believe she helped me make my query stronger. She guided me through the steps in a few effective and constructive sentences. I warmly recommend her.
Extra Ink Edits gets its name from the extra ink that I use in showing you what you have done well, in addition to what needs more work. I believe in helping writers and teaching them how to craft their story in the best way possible.
