HORROR / SCI-FI / SPECULATIVE FICTION

"After breezing through four editors on my latest project, I  handed things off to Karl. He latched right onto my style, got his mind around my content, and took it from there. His work is excellent." --Stephen Romano, author of Zombie and Invasion of the Mutanoids

 

"Karl took my novel right where I wanted it to go. I only wish I had met him before I made some of my movies!"
--Tom Chaney, author of The Wind Walker, director of Wrath of the Wendigo, and screenwriter of Mosquito

 

 

 

HISTORICAL NON-FICTION

"Karl's editing is precise and intelligent. He knows how to deal with the most complex areas of my writing and how to make it more accessible for the audience. Karl's assistance was of great help to my book."
--Eiko Ikegami, author of The Japanese Path to Modern Civility and The Taming of the Samurai, Harvard University Press

 

"As I am putting the finishing touches to my book, titled: The Muslim Vote: Counts and Recounts, I would like to thank Karl Morgan for suggesting another dimension for the book--"dramatization." I am confident that with Karl's keen eye for detail, his awareness of dramatic structure, and his sensitivity to the etymological nuances of the English language, this title will merge into a successful screenplay as well."
--Tahir Ali, author of The Muslim Vote: Counts and Recounts

 

LITERARY / MAINSTREAM FICTION

"The network was very helpful. I heard back from multiple editors in a timely manner and ended up choosing to work with Karl. I made the perfect choice. From the get-go he demonstrated a solid understanding of my top three focuses: plot, characterization, and theme. Having spent months developing and getting to know my own characters, I was amazed by how rapidly he got into their heads. I enjoyed working with him not only for his professional prose polishing, but for his exceptional talent in bringing characters to life and exploring untapped potential for intrigue." Matt Cook

"I can only submit positive comments regarding the editorial skills of Karl Morgan. Under the constraints of a quick turn-around, he handled my last project with a patient, watchful eye, sharpening an often lax attitude with the rules of grammar, and offering suggestions without interfering with the integrity of the story or the author's overall vision/tone. I would recommend him to anyone preparing a manuscript for publication."
--Dave Cunningham, author of A Trip To The Inn and Shitwood, Americana Books

 

"Karl made improvements to our novel in places we never thought to look. We hugely appreciated his thorough care for detail. After seeing The Big Cookie after Karl finished with it, we realized the invaluable importance of having a strong editor."
--Scott Dunn, co-author of The Big Cookie

 

 

"Under the constraints of a quick turnaround, he handled my last project with a patient, watchful eye, sharpening an often lax attitude with the rules of grammar, and offering suggestions without interfering with the integrity of the story or the author's overall vision/tone. I would recommend him to anyone preparing a manuscript for publication."
--Dave Cunningham, author of A Trip To The Inn and Shitwood, Americana Books

"I am more than pleased and delighted with Karl's work. Without interfering with my writing style, he suggested wonderful descriptive words and phrases, pointed out problem areas, and helped to smooth out the prose. He is truly professional and I will be handing over my second work without hesitation and look forward to his input."
--Ray Self, author of The Wicked Current

 

 

INSPIRATIONAL / SELF-HELP

"Karl has a phenomenal ability to organize complex thoughts. His insight into what I wanted to say in Passion Play is perfectly matched by his skill at turning a great phrase."
--Jack Tips, author of Passion Play and The Weight is Over and guest of the Fox Network's "The Po

 

BIOGRAPHY / MEMOIR

"Every writer needs an editor, and Karl is one of the best. He has a firm hand with a light touch, helping a writer find his voice while keeping a strict eye on consistency, logic, and usage. He helped turn what was a good story into a great story, and I became a better writer in the process."
--Tom LeCompte, author of The Last Sure Thing: The Life & Times of Bobby Riggs, finalist 2004 Best Book category, Independent Press Awards

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

"For a guy who never claims to catch a break, I better come up with a new line. When I was referred to Karl, little did I know that, aside from my novel experiencing an incredibly professional once-over, I'd also be nurtured and inspired as a writer. Karl sees the big picture, not only the details. If you're lucky enough to have found your way here, get on his waiting list."
--Jerry Eitel, author of Trail of Light

 

"As a neophyte writing my first novel you can imagine how I felt about looking for an editor. Credentials and professionalism mean a lot to me. I don't lose any of those attributes working with Karl. My wife is also working on a manuscript. I wouldn't hesitate to put her work in his hands."
--Stan Neal, author of Skulker

 

 

WORKS IN TRANSLATION

SCREENWRITING

"As difficult as the challenge of writing may be, equally daunting is the process of turning your work over to another set of eyes, another heart, another mind. Our trust in Karl’s expertise and his desire for a united vision is something for which we consider ourselves very fortunate writers."
--Howard M. Gluss and Scott Edward Smith, authors of REEL PEOPLE: Finding Ourselves in the Movies

 

"I stumbled onto your editing network by chance when I needed to find an editor. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to contact several potential editors, receive sample edits, and interact with each candidate as I decided which editor to go with. I ended up working with the person who was my first choice after looking through your editor listings, and was very happy to have found him. I look forward to working with him again, and would gladly recommend your site to others who are searching for editorial services." Lisa Louis, author/translator
