It is through Lauren’s astute guidance that my books come to reader in as fine a shape as they do. Thank you, Lauren, for your superior editing skills, for being so organized, and for your sense of humor. You never cease to amaze me!

Lauren thoroughly exceeded my expectations. She’s very supportive and knowledgeable in her craft beyond imagine. She provided a master class in what I need to do to write the best story that I possibly can.

Lauren is the secret hack every writer needs! It honestly felt like I was getting my own personal master class from an expert.

There are many editors to choose from in this world, but for me there is only one: Lauren Wise. From Chicago-style ellipses to dangling modifiers, set-piece action and momentum trims she catches every little thing that you as an author might have missed.

I’ve published eight books, and from the first one Midnight Editors delivered a phenomenal product. There’s no other editor I’d work with.

Midnight Editors completed a fantastic editorial assessment on my debut manuscript. Lauren is very knowledgeable in the industry, which was very helpful to me as a new author.

Lauren not only edited my entire manuscript, making the story stronger and more polished, but also guided me through preparing to pitch to agents. Thanks to her insight and care, my pitch makes my book sound like a must-read!

Know how you read an author’s note at the end of the book, and they repeatedly thank and compliment their editor? I never really understood how that was possible … until I began working with Lauren. Her development edit was one of the most meaningful gifts. It was returned to me with clear affirmation of its strengths, and an equally clear description of the second architecture needed. I loved reading what she wrote, even when it pointed out the gaps and weaknesses in my narrative.

Lauren is incredibly easy to work with, friendly, thoughtful, and sharp. Her notes were spot-on. I especially appreciated that she didn’t sugarcoat things or just tell me what was working. She showed me where I could improve, and that’s exactly what I needed. I don’t want flattery. I want to grow.

Professional, courteous and most of all I learned a lot! Lauren Wise’s feedback has been invaluable.

Lauren was an exceptional editor to work with. She approached my memoir with care, clarity, and deep respect for the story. Her feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and always focused on strengthening the emotional impact and structure while preserving my voice.

I would never, ever be the writer I am today if I had not found Lauren. She has tutored, coaxed, and pushed me to be better with each book I write. But most of all, out there in a world of thousands of people wanting to edit and publish your book, Lauren stands head and shoulders above all the rest in her ability to get the job done quickly, professionally and with utmost respect and honesty.

Thanks to Lauren, I now am very close to a manuscript I’d be proud to share with agents and publishers. Lauren respected my voice and never tried to override it. I’m so grateful for her clarity, kindness, and editorial brilliance.

Lauren goes above and beyond! I worked with her on my debut novel and was so impressed with the personal feedback I received. She made me feel seen and encouraged my story telling in a way that this novice desperately needed. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren has educated me on the publishing industry and process with such depth and detail that I am beginning to understand the complexity of the process and a way forward.
