What recent clients are saying:

“Working with Steven Bauer on my manuscript was a delightful and challenging exercise in synergy, where we put our heads together and created something I couldn't have achieved on my own. His sensitivity to language, nuance and theme helped us hone the text and bring it to a finer level of polish and expression. I am so pleased with the results, and am grateful to Steven for partnering with me in this creative process.”

"You're a terrific, hard-working and thorough editor, and your suggestions and insights have been invaluable.   Plus, it has simply been fun to work with you."

Dallas Hudgens, author of DRIVE LIKE HELL and SEASON OF GENE (April 2012)

"I've never read better advice than the manuscript evaluation you completed for me last year."
--Mike Siebenaler

"It has been a great pleasure working with you. When I set out to find an editor, I expected to get someone who could tell me where I had deviated from the rules of fiction writing. And you certainly did that for me. But I was also hoping to find an explorer (both physically and mentally) who could get what I was trying to accomplish with my story, and tell me where I had stumbled. You gave me that gift, as well. And you did it all with humor and kindness."

Kathleen Lowe, author of DREAM CAT (December 2011)

"I have over one hundred books on writing on my bookshelf behind me and yet I feel like I have learned more from you in your correspondence than in all of them combined."

Your report makes me feel like I'm in a master class at a prestigious school or renowned literary workshop."
