Client Reviews

I’ve worked with Brooke for many years and can’t speak highly enough about her abilities as an editor. She has consistently elevated my work with her insights, and her creative comments never fail to inspire. I can’t imagine having written my books without her help, and consider myself fortunate to have worked with her.

It was a pleasure to work with Brooke. She is as creative as she is determined to get quality results. When I approached her to co-author a new early reader book series, the concept for these new titles was not fully fleshed out. We often bounced ideas back and forth and Brooke did not mind the many changes required to get us closer to where we wanted to get. I even approached her repeatedly after I had thought our project was done and she was as helpful and motivated as ever. Her style of writing creates vivid pictures in a reader’s mind and she excels at bringing characters to life. Brooke will always have a good idea up her sleeve when you find yourself in dire need of one. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Yes, Brooke is a superb editor. However, I also consider her my writing coach because I have learned so much from her edits and constructive feedback. Not only is she gifted at finding the story within the story, she also has the ability to understand not only what a writer says, but what the writer means to say. She's amazing!

Brooke possesses the incredible skill of reaching into a story and pulling out the very best version. Her perspective and input were spot on, helping me to make my book better than even I imagined. She is direct yet easy to work with, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Brooke is a wonderful editor and a valuable resource. She is great with developmental editing offering helpful suggestions that will truly improve your story. She will also advise you on illustrations, page counts, formatting, and even offer you a final read through. You can’t go wrong with Brooke!

If I could have given more than 5 stars I would have. Brooke has been amazing to work with. Her communication and punctuality have been outstanding. She quickly offered incite into areas that helped to fix areas of my story that I had been stuck on for months. As a first time author I have needed a bit more understanding of the process and Brooke was very helpful with all of this as well. I have...

As a first time author, I was unsure about this entire process. Brooke not only made my story come to life and provided suggestions I would have never thought of myself, but she also walked me through different options for publishing and what to expect of each. She was timely with her responses and edited drafts and was a complete professional. I would highly recommend her and will use her again...

Brooke is amazing! She knows exactly what to do to bring out the best in a story. I have worked with her on 3 books so far and have plans for many more. She is very easy to communicate with, super punctual about deadlines, and she understands my book's requirements almost better than I do ?? Strongly recommended!

Rupamanjari Majumder

Brooke is amazing! She is super responsive and very thorough. Her understanding of rhyme and meter and pagination are also major plusses for children's picture book authors. She's collaborative, has great ideas and is a true pleasure to work with. But best of all, even with all of her experience and knowledge, she has zero ego and never tries to show you how smart she is. Her only agenda is...

I highly recommend Brooke! Having here help me with my Kids book was the best money I ever spent. I was struggling with my book for 7 months and trying to piece it together and couldn't figure out what to do. I opted to do the editorial assessment with Brooke before doing the developmental edit and I was very impressed with the notes and recommendation that Brooke came with. She was able to understand my big vision immediately and pointed out things that wouldn't work for the age group I wanted to target. Once she came back with the developmental edit. I didn't change a single word - it was perfect! (Also, I am super picky and hard to please). To top it off she got my book written in 24 hours, with detailed notes. She is a genius and she will be my go to for anything else I ever decide to write.

Allison Dunn

Brooke is amazing! I strongly recommend her. She understands rhyme and meter and can help make your story more complete. Through her help and her great questions I was able to really take my story from a simple and shallow story with a good ending to a really good story that children will enjoy and relate to. I thought I had a good story when I sent it to Brooke fire a final edit. She helped me see it needed a lot of work. I needed to be open to her suggestions and I needed to work, bit I'm so proud of the story I have now!

Heather Gee Davis

I HIGHLY recommend Brooke as an editor - she was an absolute pleasure to work with and I will be using her again in the future. Brooke provided an editorial assessment and three developmental edits to my picture book manuscript. I learned so much from Brooke throughout the processes; she's incredibly talented, timely, and added significant value. She really helped whip my manuscript into shape!...

A.F. Ruocco

I've really loved working with Brooke. She has a deep knowledge of children's books and their market, so her editing is not only about choosing the right words, but above all making the most out of a book as a whole (which also helps authors grow and learn). She is ready to answer questions and doubts and suggest different solutions if needed. I will certainly come back to her for future projects and would warmly recommend her!

Stella Maris Mongodi

Brooke is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and has a magic touch! She helped me a lot in my story, recognized all my weakest points and learned so much from her.As a first timer, it would be best to work with a great editor that has a lot of skills, experiences, who simply gets you, communicates really well, truthful to ideas and I could go on and on.. And I'm quite elated that I found Brooke! She has all these...

Merci T

I highly recommend Brooke Vitale editing services. Brooke provided a contract for her services which was very thorough so I understood the process. She took my manuscript and enhanced it - and added in a line that I absolutely love! Her service is so much more than just making sure the comma's are in the right place. She suggests new ways of saying and describing things. I would definitely use Brooke again.
