“Ari sees what’s missing in a manuscript and goes after it. She coaches the writer on improving the story as a whole, and knows how to make each line into something that shines. Ari is smart, funny, and kind in her feedback, and she has tons of ideas.
Bottom line, Ari helped make my books so much stronger than I could have done on my own.”

“In the first five minutes of my first conversation with Ari Lewin, she solved a problem with my manuscript that I'd been struggling with for years. That was how I knew I wanted her to be my editor. From initial concept to finished manuscript, Ari has a knack for not only spotting the problem, but spotting its underlying cause, and a solution. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“I can say with all honesty that I'm not sure I would have ever managed to wrangle my book Curses without Ari's expert help. I like a lot of collaboration with my editor, and Ari was with me every step of the way, from brainstorming solutions and figuring out tricky magic systems, to navigating plot holes. She has a great instinct for story and characters, was fun to work with, and knew exactly when I needed a pep talk. She's a brilliant editor and I'd jump at the chance to work with her again.”

“I loved working with Ari so much! As the editor for my debut YA fantasy, The Bone Spindle, Ari helped me take my book to a whole new level. It easily packs twice the punch now! From the first phone call, Ari completely got my characters, and her insight helped give them so much more depth.
From the big-picture backstory and character motivations to the tiny line-by- line details, she helped me polish every page until it shone!”
— Leslie Vedder, author of The Bone Spindle trilogy
