Lauren Johansen

Kendall Stiles, Author of Supplanting Empires

“Lauren helped me clarify my meaning, avoid redundancies, link statements to previous material in the chapter, and improve the energy of the prose overall. The result is the cleanest and most error-free manuscript I’ve ever presented to a publisher (out of twenty previous books). I can’t say enough good things about Lauren!”

Nicole Holley Bay, Writer for Sally Port Magazine

Lauren did an amazing job editing my conlang how-to articles. She created a style guide perfectly suited to the work I was creating. She painstakingly checked all my references and kept my writing consistent. Lauren is a meticulous editor.

It’s been a delight to work with Lauren Johansen. Her thoughtful evaluation of my manuscript pointed out places where I could strengthen my characters and my story. I also appreciated her careful attention to detail in line edits and proofreading. Most of all, I loved how enthusiastic and positive she was, making me feel that there was no challenge in this project that I couldn’t find a solution for.
