What Clients Say
Salt and Sage provided a professional and welcoming experience that exceeded my expectations. The process was clear and easy to understand. The sheer amount of different editors will have me coming back if a project requires a sensitivity reading. I will be recommending them if anyone needs any editing or sensitivity reading.
Booking Salt & Sage was completely smooth and painless. I felt like they understood my project and needs right from the start, and were extremely accommodating. Our editor, Helen, offered such insightful, creative feedback that I definitely feel it improved our manuscript and enabled me to think about the project in different ways than I had previously. We incorporated a lot of her feedback into the final product. I would absolutely work with Helen and Salt & Sage again.
