“Angela R. Watts has beta-read for me for almost all my projects, including my Chronicles of Alice and Ivy series and my novella The Lady of the Vineyard. She’s consistent and reliable and always gets the work done far before the deadlines. She’s also enthusiastic and encouraging – without being untruthful or bending the truth to spare my feelings. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs an editor who will quickly and professionally go through their book giving them just the right mix of building up and tearing down.”
— Kellyn Roth, author of The Chronicles Of Alice And Ivy
“Angela Watts was a huge help to my novel writing process. She swiftly identified weak points in plot, structure, and character development while highlighting the aspects of the novel that were strong. She provided vital insight that will ultimately help me write a better story!”
— Brian McBride, author of Love and the Sea and Everything in Between
“I was really nervous when I sent my “Susan of Narnia” serial to Angela for beta reading, feeling I loved this little story, yet afraid that I’d overstepped by trying to finish something that CS Lewis started — who was I to dare to write next to him? But Angela’s feedback so encouraged me, especially as she read all of it in a single sitting! She gave me detailed critiques about what she liked and what didn’t quite work for her in such a way that I wasn’t overwhelmed but inspired to keep on writing this story and others (because doesn’t any encouragement we receive spread naturally toward all the words we have to write?). I definitely would feel honored if she were to read any more of my fiction and believe she knows how to give a sound beta critique.”

“I will say that Angela has been invaluable to my team, has caught and helped fix many things (most notably continuity issues), and has overall been great to work with.”
— Kate Willis, author of Kiera
Angela was a joy to work with. I really had wanted a second opinion on the first few pages of my book, and she was able to help me so much! She was extremely prompt (she had already sent me her feedback within 20 minutes of my sending her my pages) and so very gracious and excited to read it! When I read her feedback, she was able to point out my typos and give me INCREDIBLE encouragement on my novel! She made me get excited to start writing all over again! Angela is a kind, thorough, and amazing editor and I can’t wait to work with her again soon!
