Testimonials

“From day one, Margaret helped me articulate the direction I wanted to take my book and served as a constant source of motivation and support as I continued to develop my manuscript. She granted me new, fascinating perspectives on what I had written and helped me come up with a very strong book structure. She is very attentive to detail and never fails to offer honest insight on ways my writing can improve. Margaret helped me not only develop a complete, 50k word manuscript but also grow and learn as an author. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

— Barbara Euripides, author of BBB: Brains, Beauty, Boss (2020)

“Margaret is a skilled, attentive, and honest editor with a tremendous eye for pacing, diction, and flow. She quickly establishes herself as a trusted advisor in the creative process by meeting the author where they are and helping them understand the ways in which the story they want to tell can come into being. She guides without directing and critiques without imposing. Best of all, she approaches her work with humor and empathy. I recommend her as an editor wholly and without reservation for any and all written endeavors.”

— Dmitriy Zakharov, author of Future Fluent (2021)

“Margaret Danko was my developmental editor during my Creator Institute program, and I could not have finished my book without her. Her ability to see the big picture and the details simultaneously is remarkable, and the guidance she gave me as I was writing my first draft helped me turn a dream into a solid piece of work. Writers who want an honest editor will do well with Margaret. I owe her a great deal of thanks for her many comments and line-edits that helped me transform scenes into chapters and chapters into a first draft I was proud of.”

— Shannon Simmons, author of Rose’s Locket (2020)

Margaret exceeded my expectations in servicing our customers and managing multiple accounts across the US. She consistently pushed past her comfort zone and took a great deal of pride in her work. Our customers loved her publications and her attention to detail. Over the course of the four months she worked with us, Margaret never missed a deadline, and the quality of her work only got better and better. I highly recommend Margaret because of her character, dependability, and work ethic.”
