Shadow Bonds and Shadow Fated by Rumer Hale
“Archetype editing has been amazing to work with especially Jane! The edits were thorough, thoughtful, clear, and really elevated my writing without losing my voice. Turnaround time was quick, communication was smooth, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Would love to work with them again. Highly recommend!” —Rumer Hale, Author of Shadow Fated and Shadow Bonds

The Shape of Dying by Mia Kathleen
“I worked with Jane + Kelly for a developmental edit of my 3rd draft and I truly can not say enough good things about them! From the moment I first got in contact with them the communication was phenomenal (and wasn’t something I was used to with editors). They were both kind and thoughtful both in their emails and in their edits. Speaking of edits—the developmental feedback document I received truly made me tear up. As an author, having other people read your work can be so so scary and intimidating, Jane + Kelly approached my edit letter with such thoughtfulness and care that by the time I got to the critique section I couldn’t even be upset because I knew that anything they recommended to me was with the intention to make my book better. I could go on an on about what an amazing team of editors Jane + Kelly were. I will continue to use and recommended their services from this point forward!” — Mia Kathleen, Author of The Shape of Dying

“Casey was great to work with - prompt, available, communicative, and open to feedback.”
Briana Cox says…
“Kelly provided excellent developmental edits for my literary horror novel (and some unexpected but very appreciated line-level editing to make sure my vision was as clear as possible). Her turn-around for my 90k manuscript was incredibly quick, and she provided detail-oriented, constructive, and thoughtful feedback in addition to being open for any other questions I had. She has a wonderful ability to pinpoint themes and emotional through and provide feedback on where they work best and where they can be strengthened, even providing specific scene suggestions for creating the best pay-off to the emotional and narrative set-ups. Her feedback has helped me think about my manuscript in new ways that truly strengthen the final work.”
Ryan Charaba says…
“The insights, feedback, and recommendations I’ve received from Jane at Archetype have been the most helpful I’ve ever received. My project has been propelled forward where dead ends and errant periods have evolved into new story branches and arcs. Jane has been encouraging and inspiring, showing me different angles and perspectives that I’d never seen or considered, all the while remaining respectful of my vision.
I cannot recommend Jane and the entire Archetype team enough!” —Ryan Charaba, author of The Wizard novella series.
