SOME OF MY PUBLISHED CLIENTS

"I cannot speak enough praises for Nastasia. She edited my debut novel, and I had many reservations, but she went above and beyond in setting my worries at ease with her communication and, above all else, the quality of her work. Her edits were thorough, clear, and always professional.

6 stars. Is there a 6 star option? There is now."

"To the best of my knowledge, Nastasia's editing skills are immaculate. Just as importantly (at least to me), I felt that Nastasia took extra care in considering my voice and making choices/suggestions that suited my style of writing. She's also been endlessly patient with my millions of questions and it's never been a doubt in my mind that she cares enormously for her authors – of which I consider myself incredibly lucky to be one of."

"Thank you so much – I love how much you put into making sure my writing is the best it can be. I’m SO lucky to have found you!"

“I cannot recommend Nastasia highly enough. She is professional, meticulous, and sticks to her deadlines – she is also friendly and great to work with. All of these aspects blend together to create a fantastic working experience. From the very beginning of our project together, Nastasia laid out a plan, set a deadline, and set top quality standards. Working with Nastasia is not just about editing – it's about learning. My mistakes weren't simply corrected; they were caught, corrected, and explained in a way so as to teach me to not repeat them.

Five stars all the way."

"I was originally introduced to Stardust Books services through Nastasia, who answered a plea for advice on a writing group.

Nastasia offered to hold a consultation over a videocall. She was extremely excited to listen to the outline of my manuscript and offered some great advice. I chose to have a manuscript evaluation, as it was important to have a professional viewpoint. I had five or six people read the manuscript beforehand, all who had enjoyed it but had not been able to give me the kind of feedback that I knew was vital to move things forward.

Nastasia's work was thorough and sincere and most importantly honest. She delivered the feedback that has pointed me in the right direction and if one day I am lucky enough to be published she will have been an integral part of the process.

Nastasia, thank you for everything you have done and your willingness to answer any further questions that will no doubt arise in the future."

"Nastasia was fantastic to work with - she answered my questions, and her explanations for her edits were very easy to follow. Nastasia specifically specializes in fairytale retellings, so when I reached out to her back in May, I was confident I'd made the right choice. When I got the edits back, I was given valuable feedback that I was able to use to strengthen my draft. When I asked for clarification on things, Nastasia was quick to respond and reassure me. Nastasia is the owner and founder of Stardust Book Services, and has several other editors and cover artists working with her, so be sure to check Stardust Book Services out!

If you are looking for an editor to work with on your book, I cannot recommend Nastasia as an editor enough!"

"Nastasia was incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with! As a new writer, I was a bit nervous placing my manuscript in another’s hands, but she quickly delivered the feedback and critique I needed. She helped identify the places and technical aspects that required work as well as providing encouragement and pointing out the positive points of the story, plot, and characters. She provided professional and engaging constructive criticism while maintaining a supportive and heartening tone throughout our communications. I deeply appreciate the experience of working with her and am hoping to utilize her skills in the future. Highly recommend!!"

"I had an EXCELLENT experience working with Nastasia. Not only was she super professional but she was thorough and answered all of my questions without skipping a beat. They are quick with their responses which is something I really appreciate. Overall a perfect place for anyone looking to get their story edited. (I cannot recommend Nastasia enough!!)"

"I highly recommend Stardust Book Services. Nastasia was simply amazing to work with. Her edits were the perfect addition to my epic fantasy manuscript and I sincerely look forward to working with her again."

"Fast, efficient and thorough, Nastasia's beta read of my thriller gave me the insight I needed to polish the rough areas of my manuscript along with a clear understanding of what worked as well. A per character breakdown along with a questions raised and answered approach helped me understand if I had paid off my setups with clarity and impact. Great experience overall, I look forward to collaborating with Nastasia in the future."

"Nastasia was very helpful in clearing up the language of my writing, taking into consideration I was a first-time writer. Taking a steady hand with constructive criticism that was always on topic and always with a helpful note for me to understand what worked or didn't work. The Chapter Breakdowns provided helped me understand why a chapter worked or didn't work as well as giving me confidence in my writing and in my own ideas. Helping me take the leap in making some things more deliberate in the narrative and graphic when they needed to be and less so when they didn't. I always felt like every note was there to help me be better and not as a disparagement. I will definitely be using the editing services again for each of my next projects in order to get the best out of them. If you're on the fence about the services I would say take the plunge it will only help you get better."

"Nastasia was an excellent and thorough editor, making sure I was aware of any and all issues with the story so that I could work through them to make the story exactly what I wanted it to be."

"Working with Nastasia/Stardust Book Services was one of the best decisions I made in the life of my book. Nastasia was incredibly professional, but also just as personal, passionate, and dedicated to my work as I could have ever imagined. Her insight into the nuanced areas of editing was invaluable, especially when it came to the gritty areas of continuity, pacing, and overall flow. Highly recommend!"

"As a proofreader for my epic dark fantasy novel, Nastasia certainly went above my expectations. Being a thorough, careful reader and straight on point with all the suggestions, I could not have asked for more from a proofreader, all the more for a non-native English author like myself. The results showed me that she is not only an editor who knows their job and works well, but also an editor who communicates clearly and respects deadlines, while at the same time being encouraging and positive towards the author’s work. After working with her, I knew I did something right."

"Stardust Book Services are excellent, an excellent company that provide some of the best editing and formatting services a writer could ask for. Nastasia's edits were so helpful for the plot and flow of my book, and I couldn't have published my book without Rae's excellent formatting. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
