Benjamin Dueck, Assistant Librarian, University of Manitoba
I consulted with Laura on my conference paper,
“Learning Fields and the Extended Mind,
” presented at the interdisciplinary
Mind-at-Large Conference on consciousness research. She provided a detailed developmental letter that helped me reframe the paper as the foundation for a larger book-length project.
In the past, I have found the process of working with editors to be deeply vulnerable. Reflecting on the places where we need to grow is not always easy, yet Laura made the experience feel supportive, constructive, and even enjoyable. Throughout our work together, she helped me recognize my strengths as a writer while clearly identifying areas for improvement. Her feedback strikes a rare balance between big-picture insight, logical clarity, and deep respect for the author’s creative vision.
Most importantly, Laura is a genuinely kind, wise, curious, dependable, disciplined, and thoughtful person. Working with her helped me move through some creative blocks that were holding me back, and I now feel genuinely excited about my future as a writer. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to deepen their craft and bring their writing to the next level.

I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Laura June Rose as the developmental editor for my manuscript. Laura came highly recommended by other editors in the field, and I quickly understood why. I was genuinely impressed by the depth of her talent and the quality of the guidance she brought to my book.
Working with Laura led to meaningful improvements across several areas, including:
great clarity and organization throughout the manuscript
great line editing suggestions that enhanced readability and flow
fantastic knowledge and coaching on using APA style
helpful attention to logical fallacies and sources for my arguments
- thoughtful guidance in maintaining consistency across complex topics
I believe I made a sound investment working with Laura and found a rewarding partnership. It can be difficult to know when a book is truly finished, but with Laura’s support, I gained confidence and a clear sense that the manuscript had been shaped and polished in a substantial and impactful way. She helped carry the book many yards down the field toward its final goal. I highly recommend working with Laura. I trust you will find that her expertise, insight, and kindness will greatly enhance your author journey.

I hired Laura to edit and proofread my website for my doula practice. I was struggling with expressing how my principles and heritage guide my work. She respected my voice and invited more clarity through detailed feedback and even with suggestions guided by her own research. This, paired with her attention to finer details throughout my website, helped me feel more confident about promoting my practice to an online audience.
I am positive that Laura’s future clients will feel invigorated by her meticulous, respectful, curious, and patient approach to editing. I wish her so much success!
