What Clients Say
I had an excellent experience with Salt & Sage, who assigned me a fantastic editor to complete a sensitivity read for a genderfluid character in my MG fantasy novel. Ravi was thoughtful, kind and extremely helpful when working through my script. Their report was comprehensive and I will be taking their points on board in my rewrite.
