Testimonials

“Bee is a story doula. They offer a unique combination of hawk-eyed edits, new structures that better hold my thoughts, and unconditional support and empathy for my writing.”

— L.B., visual editor at The New York Times

“After numerous rewrites and taking my novel as far as I could on my own, a workshop leader recommended I reach out to Bee for fresh eyes to coach me through an in-depth edit. I am so grateful I did! Bee read my manuscript with such close care and offered line-by-line edits, as well as structural and thematic feedback. They asked thought-provoking questions, leading me to search my characters and story more deeply. They helped me see where the energy lagged and where it burned brightest. Our phone discussions always generated fresh enthusiasm and insights into my novel. They treated my work with loving respect, and me as a fellow writer. Working with Bee over the course of several months felt like having a private MFA program focused solely on my manuscript. I’m forever grateful and would love to work with Them again.”
