Ceileigh’s developmental edit of my non-fiction manuscript was invaluable for making what was a complex theoretical argument flow well and be appropriate for wide variety of readers. She made sure the main thread of my argument was clear and consistent throughout my book. She also provided insightful and often alternative points of view for me to consider which not enriched my argument, but also made it more engaging and relevant. For being able to see the big picture of my book and helping me to execute that vision, I highly recommend Ceileigh’s editorial services.

-Dilan Qadir, writer Ceileigh was wonderful throughout our collaboration. She answered each of my questions effectively and provided a thorough evaluation of my manuscript. I would feel lucky work with her again.

Her approach to working with me is highly collaborative. She applies her deep knowledge of fiction writing to my manuscript, offering specific insights that have inspired me in the revision process.
-Jeff Lefkoff, writer Ceileigh was an editorial assistant at Simon & Schuster when my bestselling novel Still Mine was published. She was part of an excellent and extremely skilled team who brought the book to life and helped it spend six months on the bestseller list. Ceileigh demonstrated a very sharp eye in her editorial contributions. It was wonderful to work with her!
-Amy Stuart, author of Still Mine, Still Water, and Still Here Ceileigh was very professional throughout the process of editing my book. She was concise, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and focused. She knew what she was doing and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend Ceileigh as an editor.
-Nima Niknam, writer I worked with Ceileigh on a short opera. As a librettist, she quickly developed a deep and nuanced understanding of the source story in all of its different versions. She was an amazing collaborator as we worked to move from the written prose into a libretto to be delivered through song. Her text brought a distinct voice to each character and transformed the story into a form that could be told through the unique perspectives of each person. I’d highly recommend Ceileigh as an editor, writer, or collaborator for any project!
