When my novel was accepted for publication, I hoped to have an editor who would work on it as lovingly as I had. I found that individual in Zala Jambrovic Hatic of Goldenhorn Editing. Zala grasped the spirit of the story while also picking up on little things I would never have thought of; she asked questions and made suggestions that truly helped me improve the novel, and she did it all in a timely and cheerful fashion. I can’t recommend Zala and Goldenhorn highly enough.

Working with Zala has been such a meaningful part of my writing process! She didn’t try to change my voice; she truly listened to it. Even beyond that, she protected it. There were moments when I knew what I wanted to say, but the words came out choppy or unclear. Each time, her suggestions felt aligned with me, almost like she could hear what I was trying to say, and she would bring it into clarity without losing the heart behind it. Her skill, care, and encouragement meant so much. I felt supported, seen, and never pushed into something that didn’t feel authentic. I’m incredibly grateful for her. She made a scary process feel safe.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Zala from day one. I have yet to encounter another editor who displays as much professionalism and dedication as Zala does—regardless of the project. She consistently goes above and beyond for her authors, always timely and thorough. You could not ask for a better person on your team!

Zala’s formatting and editorial work has been invaluable to our publishing process. She is self-driven, efficient, professional, and extremely clean. She is always open to a rush job or willing to add an extra step to the process to fit our needs, and I know that we can trust her to push through projects quickly and be communicative if problems arise. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs editorial or formatting work done on their manuscript—Zala is overall a joy to work with!
