What authors say about working with me
-
“I partnered with Amber Hemingway Editorial for the English translation of my Dutch mystery novel, The Girl at the Window (Het meisje bij het venster). The novel was well received in the Netherlands and was shortlisted for both the ThrillZone Award and the Literaire Parel — two prestigious prizes in Dutch fiction. Working with Amber was a true pleasure. She’s not only a joy to collaborate with, but also a highly skilled editor with an exceptional eye for nuance. Her editing elevated the manuscript while preserving its original voice. Whether you're self-publishing or submitting to a traditional publisher, I highly recommend Amber’s services. She’s professional, thoughtful, and deeply committed to helping fiction authors bring out the best in their stories.”
—Frank Peters, Author and owner of Waayhof Publishing, The Girl at the Window

“Having written poetry books earlier, I was diving into unfamiliar territory writing fiction for the very first time, and so I needed someone to not only correct the flaws but also make the book feel presentable. Amber did that in more ways than one. Her tremendous work in polishing grammar and providing valuable input helped give more clarity to the stories and in turn enhanced the book. Her editorial report and style sheet were comprehensive, pointing out the details that were missed. In fact, I will go one step further and say that her work helped me gain confidence and realize my full potential as a writer of fiction. I want to thank Amber from the bottom of my heart and will definitely retain her services for my future books. I recommend her to all writers out there especially first-time/indie authors as she can get the best out of their work.”

"Amber beta read my novella HATS, and I couldn't have asked for a more careful or generous reader. Her report pulled together the big-picture patterns — pacing, character differentiation, sentence rhythm — while her in-line comments tracked her reactions page by page, which gave me an invaluable window into how a real reader experiences the book. She caught genuine continuity errors I'd long stopped being able to see, was quick to point out what was working, and delivered even her sharpest notes with warmth and tact. She was prompt, communicative, and clearly engaged with the world of the story rather than skimming it. If you want honest, specific, encouraging feedback from someone who reads closely and cares about your book, I recommend her without reservation — I'll be back for the next one."
—Sanford O'Coon, HATS

“Amber Hemingway did a great job in her role as a beta reader! She didn't just merely offer a bare minimum response to the manuscript. She expressed her constructive criticism in a pleasant way. She expressed opinions/thoughts/questions that were coming to her mind throughout her time as the beta reader, which gives the author a window into how their readers are being affected. She offered plenty of positive impressions and complimentary encouragement. She completed the manuscript in a timely fashion and was reliably communicative through my email messaging with her. I would be pleased to have her beta read for me again if the opportunity arises.”
