​Testimonials
​

I worked with Megan through #RevPit and I couldn't be happier with the way she embraced my revision goals and elevated them with her experience and insight. She identified concrete ways to heighten the stakes, tighten pacing, deepen characters, and tweak scenes to increase reader engagement. I learned so much about craft - lessons I'll put to use in my next book! Megan's developmental and line editing were instrumental in giving my manuscript the polish it needed to attract an offer of representation from my agent.
---Maggie North, Rules for Second Chances (coming 2024 from St Martins)

I came to RevPit not really knowing what to expect, or what I needed. I'd been bouncing off of queries and full requests without usable feedback, and my book was stuck in a rut where there was something missing I couldn't put a finger on. I never expected just how much life Megan would breathe back into my writing. Megan was everything I could have dreamed of in an editor; supportive, incisive and imaginative. She picked apart the elements of my story that I'd been stuck on for months, and helped me bring new depth to the narrative and characters. In November 2022, I signed with Laura Bennet at the Liverpool Literary Agency, and it won't be long till we send The Potent Solution out on submission.
---Ashley Spencer

Working with Megan has been an absolute dream! Her content memo was very detailed and specific and her suggestions have made my story so much stronger. Megan was also extremely punctual. I write and publish fast so it was important to find an editor who kept the same pace. I'd definitely work with her again.
---Melissa Sercia, author of After I Run
Megan doesn't disappoint. She gets right in and digs through the mush, getting to the essence of the plot and offering suggestions combatting areas that are weak. But, also provides comments on areas that work well, which helps too! Highly recommend her, and will use her again in a few months for book number three!
---KP Kennedy, author of The Last White Truffle
Her comments and critiques made me feel like she'd been there from day one, rooting for my story. Her critiques about characters and plot points were specific and actionable, and she even suggested a few possible solutions she could see working. 
---Megan Hatch
Every time I work with Megan, she makes me a better writer. This is my first full-length novel, even though I've been writing all of my life, and she has helped me take my story to the next level with developmental editing. She asks all the right questions and helps me brainstorm ways to make scenes better. 
---Kelly Duff
It was a pleasure to work with Megan! It's always nerve-wracking asking for feedback on a manuscript, but Megan was kind and professional. She pointed out what I was doing well, and offered suggestions to make my book even better. Would highly recommend!
---LM Thornburg
Megan offered really helpful, clear feedback with specific examples for how to improve certain areas. Her editorial assessment was constructive while remaining respectful of my story and style. Great to work with!
---Amy Oppenheim

Ms. Records is hands down the best...
I was dejected about this project when I handed it off to her. She showed me what was good about the book and gave me the insights and inspiration I needed to make the story better. I highly, highly recommend this editor.
---Susanna Ives
You have the amazing ability to see through a story down to the "bones", and you seem to instinctively know what important pieces are missing and/or what needs to be expanded. Your feedback on story structure has been invaluable.
​---Tara Sheets
Megan has a knack for celebrating what’s working right alongside you while doling out suggestions in a way that recharges your creativity instead of feeling too prescriptive.
​---Gwen Reitz
Megan was a delight to work with - professional and courteous with a fantastic instinct for story telling. Her insight into my work was so helpful, and her ideas on how to improve it were AMAZING!
