Hildy Silverman is the ultimate professional. She is the best editor I've ever worked with. My highest recommendation.

Hildy is fantastic to work with. She's sharp and insightful but also thoughtful and has a
way of providing critical feedback while still being wholly supportive and without taking
away from any of the work's positive elements. I've always valued her editorial expertise
and will happily continue to do so.
—Aaron Rosenberg, bestselling author
