Editing and Manuscript Consultations
Books edited by Naomi K. Lewis
-
I had no idea, when I asked Naomi Lewis to help me rescue a seemingly-doomed book manuscript, what a great decision I had made. She is one of the best editors I’ve ever worked with. As a writer herself, she knew how to coach, when to proffer suggestions, and when to critique and then step back. A good editor makes a book better; an outstanding editor makes a writer better. In my opinion, Naomi is an outstanding editor, and I’m grateful for how she helped me hone my craft.

I’ve found Naomi to be a pleasure to work with. She is efficient, insightful, on time and always helpful. She does what you want editors to do: She made my books better.

Naomi K. Lewis is, hands down, one of the best editors in Canada. Her feedback is clear, perceptive, inquisitive, and precise. At the structural and sentence level, her knowledge of craft is extraordinary. Beyond that, she is kind and encouraging and generous and funny. No question is too dumb, no grammatical query too small, no anxiety too frivolous. Working with Naomi K. Lewis has been a tremendous experience, and my books—and my writing—are so much better for it.
