"Handing over a draft is always scary, but Ellie made the manuscript critique process so easy and genuinely made my story stronger.
"She caught things I never would have noticed with thorough, actionable feedback, and was so helpful in pinpointing exactly what threw the vibe off. She has a great eye for catching those out-of-place, awkward moments that authors usually become blind to.
"If you want a critique that is incredibly sharp while not being overly harsh, she’s your person. I feel way more confident moving toward publishing now!"
- R. I. Aryn, author of "Death's Rose" (spring 2026)
Manuscript Critique, YA Fantasy Romance
"I had such a great experience working with Story & The Works! They beta read and critiqued the first chapter of my book, and honestly, their feedback and line editing was great.
"They pointed out what could be improved and helped me see my writing from a whole new perspective. Their notes were thoughtfully nice, detailed, and super encouraging (the perfect combo lol!).
"I came away feeling more confident and inspired to keep going, knowing where to fix things when I go back for editing. If you’re looking for someone who’s thorough, insightful, and genuinely wants to help your story shine, I can’t recommend them enough!"
- Jiana Louis, Historical Romance

"Working with Ellie has been a pleasure. Even if you revised your manuscript over and over again, she will find ways to make the prose pop more and notice things you've missed again and again.
"Her work on my epic fantasy novel has been punctual, professional and insightful, and I would recommend her not only for the quality of her work but also because she is responsive and pleasant to work with."
