Testimonials
“I gave Han a messy stack of over 100 finished poems and [they] subtly and deftly ordered them into two manuscripts. I couldn’t recommend [them] more highly.”
—KATE COLBY
—RACHEL EDELMAN
“Han’s reading made me feel so exuberantly seen. From my manuscript’s title to its epigraph to its final line, Han crystallized the project’s central concerns and gently pushed me to expand on those that felt unfinished. Their critique letter rendered a clear, concise project description that advocates for my work and moves my manuscript closer to publication.”
—CONSTANCE HANSEN
“I am amazed by the scope of Han’s expertise; they are an editor who generously helps out with the details as well as the big picture. I honestly felt completely lost in the vast forest of my work until Han appeared like a good witch who showed me the way through. I now feel confident in the “aboutness” of my work–in the miraculous fact that I even have a manuscript as such. I went from despairing over disorganized files to prepping for first book contests. I consider Han to be my creative midwife. I can’t wait to think of an excuse to work with them again, and I would recommend Han’s manuscript consultations to anyone and everyone.”
