“I love working with Felice. Her incisive eye for editing brings out the best in both the books she works on and her clients. Authors count on Felice for a harmonic partnership and she always meets and exceeds their expectations.”

“Felice is a joy to work with, and such a warm, sharp, and indefatigable editor. We worked together closely on a book that we were publishing quickly into an election season, and Felice dove right in without batting an eye. She met every deadline, however tight, with grace. And, she helped us shape an exquisite manuscript. A gift to both authors and publishers.”

“Felice Laverne, you helped me move my words over some very large mountains when doubt stepped in.”

“The process of finishing my second book took so much longer than I expected because I didn’t honor my own creative process at first. Sitting down in front of a computer for hours made my writing robotic and cold. I needed help. I hired Felice as my book doula. Through her guidance she reminded me to focus on what I have to say and not how it looks on the page. That will come later. But if I *start* writing from a place of judgement, I’ll lose my authentic voice. [She helped me] put my voice back in my book.”

“Listen, working with Felice Laverne on my book proposal was an absolute saving grace for my dream of becoming an author. From those initial coaching conversations to the final book proposal submissions, she was there every step of the way, making this whole thing feel way more manageable than I ever thought it could be. As a first time author, the process, itself, felt extremely intimidating, but Felice coached me through my own limiting beliefs with a lot of patience and reassurance. She really helped me find my true voice as a writer and made sure that I never felt alone.

Also, I feel like Felice always just knows what to do. It’s like she’s got this sixth sense for this literary game. Every single potential publisher I sent my book proposal package to was not just impressed – they were totally blown away. So, if you’re looking for someone to guide you through the overwhelming process of becoming a published author, I can’t recommend Felice Laverne enough. It’s not just about the end goal with her; it’s about having a phenomenal co-pilot for the entire ride. Thanks for everything Felice. You’re a godsend! ”

“Felice, our [writing sessions] were often like therapy sessions. At my most vulnerable, you made me feel safe. You cultivated a safe space to collaborate and made me feel heard. Felice was the breath of fresh air when my thoughts didn’t make sense or I felt stuck. Thank you for handling my thoughts and feelings with gentleness.”

“Everything in my life is collaboration—my family, my strategy work, and now my book. The evolution of THE LIFE BRIEF book would not be possible without Felice…”

“I want to thank my editor, Felice Laverne, for molding and shaping this book beyond my own expectations and hopes. As many edits as were made, Felice never once allowed me to lose my voice.”

“Felice helped me navigate the book editing process for my first book with laughs and positivity. It was the best experience and I’m not sure it’s like that for every first-time author! She is truly a pleasure to work with.”

“Working with Felice was a blessing I never expected. I initially hired her as an author coach to help me organize and complete my book draft but got so much more. I am in awe of how quickly she helped me turn my book from an idea to a body of work that will soon be read by others. I am immensely grateful to have found a partnership and friendship in Felice and would absolutely recommend her to other aspiring authors.”

“Felice’s gift for helping to craft each word to ensure the essence of what I felt and wanted to be shared comes through to the reader on each and every page. She helped me write the book proposal that then won Hay House’s contest for new authors, and I am forever grateful for her support and for her advocating for me behind the scenes. This first go-around was all new territory, and I appreciated her guidance and patience and the skillful eye she has for every project she touches.”

“Working with Felice Laverne improved my manuscript significantly. Her objectivity and full understanding of how to best present the story elevated my manuscript and invigorated my passion for my novel’s completion. She is a wonderfully reliable, impressive professional, a champion of authors, and a delight to work with. I look forward to working with Felice on my next manuscript.”
