To my editor, Lexi: You helped me turn this manuscript into a polished piece of work that we deemed publishable. Thank you for sifting through all the bullsh*t, my terrible use of punctuation, and helping to perfect my novel.

Lexi was so helpful in improving the blurb and marketing position of my novel right before a big launch. As the author, I had been so wrapped up in the story that it was hard for me to see it from the reader’s perspective. Lexi was incredibly professional, and came to our meeting with a wealth of industry and genre-insight from both a reader and editor’s standpoint, and prepared with some research on my specific book. We discussed better comps and some marketing verbiage to find the right readers, and she went over the strengths of my book that made it stand out–some of which surprised me! Post launch, a reader left a review saying how refreshing it was to have the comps in the blurb match the book perfectly, instead of trying to entice the reader with trendy titles–proof of Lexi’s great work and expertise!
