Three Author Success Stories

Every author's journey is different, but one thing remains constant — thoughtful editing can transform a story and strengthen a writer's voice. Here are a few success stories from authors I've had the privilege to work with.

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that my short story "Abraded"was chosen to be in an anthology for a small press. Pretty cool. Thank you so much for all of your help. 

Scott Eveloff, MD – Author of The Golem's Holocaust

When Scott first approached me, his manuscript was already rich in concept but needed polishing to meet the standards of a traditional publisher. Together, we worked through structural, stylistic, and pacing edits — and the result spoke for itself.

"The first novel Gila edited went on to be traditionally published. I attribute such success in no small part to Gila's thoughts, revisions, and editing. I was so pleased I'm now using her for a second full manuscript edit. In addition to being incisive, honest, skilled, and adept at answering my concerns and questions, Gila is extremely competitive in terms of rates for her time, work, and expertise. All in all, I would highly recommend Gila to anyone looking for competent, individualized, and affordable editing services."

Ethan came to me with a bold fantasy manuscript and a collection of dark short stories. Our work together focused on refining his prose, deepening character arcs, and tightening the flow.

"Gila Green has been an invaluable editor for my novel The Flaming Sword: Bloodborn and several of my twisted short stories. Her sharp feedback not only improved those projects but also changed how I approach my own edits before sending her new work. Thanks to her insight, my writing has grown stronger and more deliberate. I highly recommend Gila to any writer who's serious about taking their craft to the next level."
