“They are a big part of why Crush Your Kryptonite is in the top 5% of books on Amazon.” 

Wandering Word Media’s editorial team exceeded all my expectations! I couldn’t be happier with the final product.

Nate Hambrick

“Both of my stories were instant #1 bestsellers on Amazon and Barnes and Noble”

As a new author breaking into the Romance and Women’s Fiction genres, I believe wholeheartedly the quality of editing Emma has done with my stories has not only built enormous trust with my readers but is one of the reasons that I’m on track to earning my first six-figure royalty month in the very near future.

Kerk Murray

“You get so much more than just book editing!”

The Wandering Words team are phenomenal to work with. Extremely thorough in their editing and are downright delightful in every interaction.

Kyle Gray

“They made my entire book flow seamlessly”

When I was searching for a book editor, I initially thought all I needed was someone to correct typos and grammar mistakes. However, what I received was far more valuable—an expert who made my sentences, paragraphs, and entire book flow seamlessly.
