What Clients Are Saying

“Helen has an eagle eye and a clarifying vocabulary for turning a messy manuscript into a clear and concise text. She excels at recipe editing, which I first witnessed when we worked together at marthastewart.com culling thousands of recipes for the website's Recipe Finder.

Years later, I hired her to edit my own cookbook, remembering just how confident I was in her work. She offered me the peace of mind to print thousands of copies of the book all without worrying that any of the recipes would cause confusion with their readers. I highly recommend her services, both for her skill and reliability, but also for her easy-going and genial nature.”

— Jennifer Clair, author, Six Basic Cooking Techniques


“Helen did an excellent job editing my cookbook, Health Begins in the Kitchen. She was thorough, a delight to work with, and did the entire book remotely, as I live in California and she lived in New York City. I would not hesitate to hire Helen again for another project.”

— Joanne Williams, author, Health Begins in the Kitchen


“Helen's vast culinary knowledge, as well as her attention to detail and consistency, make her a top-notch editor especially suited to the numerous cookbooks she has worked on for Assouline.”

— Lindsey Tulloch, former editor at Assouline Publishing


“Helen was delightful to work with and our titles always benefited from her skillful, insightful editing.”

— Hiroko KiIffner, Lake Isle Press
