"Hallie is an exceptional diagnostician of narrative. Through her keen intuition and understanding of story, she sees straight to the heart of a piece, and grasps with stunning clarity what the writer is trying to achieve. After comprehending the writer’s intent, and drawing on years of workshop and critique experience, she offers practicable yet artful suggestions to help the writer achieve their true vision. This, on top of being a true joy to work with. That rarest combination of generous, empathetic, and honest, I couldn’t ask for more in a writing partner!" -Kathryn, Fiction Writer
"Getting my daughter to focus has always been a struggle. But Hallie figured out a way to capture her attention and work at a speed that didn’t overwhelm her, but caught her up with the rest of her class. Miracle worker, we love you!" -William, Parent
"I highly recommend Hallie if you're looking for help with editing or improving your writing. She helped edit my personal statement for graduate school and several English papers during my undergraduate studies. She has a great way of giving constructive suggestions while also pointing out what's working well, which made the whole process feel encouraging rather than intimidating. Her edits helped me clarify my ideas and strengthen my writing, and I always felt more confident in my work after her feedback." -Kelsea, Speech Pathologist
"Hallie is my most trusted ally in writing because she sees things in my work that I don't. Her feedback arms me with fresh knowledge, and leaves me enthusiastic to return to my work. She invests time in my writing and treats it like her own. Her talent and range make her an ideal confidante for any project--creative or professional. I can't recommend her strongly enough!" -Lee, Writer and Teacher
"Hallie is one of the best readers I know. As a reader she aligns herself with the writer’s vision for their work, and as such is a voice I often return to when, as all writers at some point do, I doubt that I can actually write what I want to write. Hallie believes in the sanctity of written work as its own form of life; her feedback speaks to this belief by holding the work to its own high standard, with critique that pushes for excellence out of respect for the value of its place in the world. Whether you want to write literary fiction, genre, non-fiction, or something else, even something that doesn’t yet have a name, Hallie will bring her wisdom and knowledge to you with acuity and grace, helping you to see the deep well from which you pull. Your work is not only safe with Hallie, but she will show you the capacity you have to grow. " -Lily, PhD Canidate in Critical/Creative Writing
"Hallie was so personable and down to earth, I really appreciated how easy it was to work with her. I’m not really a people person, but she gave me space to learn in a comfortable environment." - Anthony, High School Student
