Testimonials

"As members of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Gila and I have swapped several manuscripts as beta readers. Her feedback has always been thoughtful and supportive. She is a consummate professional, delivering her services in a timely and diplomatic manner. I highly recommend her."
— Marc Kornblatt, Filmmaker/Author, USA/Israel

"Gila is a rare creative mentor who focuses on the craft and intention of the work. She encourages her students to push their creative boundaries. I had the pleasure of working with her individually on my own creative work, and her clear guidance empowered me to focus on the work, helping me grow as a writer."
— Anastasia Wasko, Writer, Editor, & Transpersonal Guide, New Orleans, USA

"Gila is great! I gave her my first draft of the first fiction book I ever attempted, for copy editing. She was quick, thorough, flexible, and very generous with her time. She went beyond the mandate, providing valuable insights on my manuscript's story and structure. I highly recommend her."
— Jeremy Esekow, Raanana, Israel

"Thanks very much for your work! I can't believe I found such a skilled English editor on a Facebook group, and for a community in Israel no less. I really appreciate the positive feedback on my humor, voice, and message. Thank you!"
— Adam Taylor, Zichron Yaakov, Israel
