The Way of the Goddess

by Ananta Ripa Ajmera • NONFICTION • 2022

“Writing this book, with Julie's selfless support, perseverance, brilliance, and hard work, was so much more than a typical collaboration. Working together through the pandemic was nothing short of a deep spiritual pilgrimage in which I am emerging not only with a new book, but a new life.”

 
 

Trust Yourself

Melody Wilding • NONFICTION • 2021

“There’s no way this book would exist without Julie, who instantly saw my vision and helped shape the proposal and the book into what exists today. I am grateful for the countless hours she spent discussing concepts and for the sharp storytelling lens she brought to the book. Thank you to her for being my partner in crime.”


 
 

The Surrogate

Toni Halleen • Fiction • 2021

“As a debut novelist, I had revised my manuscript so many times, I reached the point where I couldn’t go any further. Julie picked it up from there and was exactly what the book needed. She brilliantly diagnosed what still wasn't working, saw patterns I wasn't aware of, and offered solutions without being prescriptive. With her insightful guidance, I felt confident and excited about picking it up again, digging in and rebuilding it. Julie is a true genius in her craft and it is a delight to collaborate with her. We are now working together on my second novel.”

 
 

The Middle Finger Project

Ash Ambirge • nonfiction • 2020

“If you enjoyed that scene in the beginning where I’m giving the guy the finger via Polaroid? Thank you to Julie Mosow for helping me organize my early ideas in a way that didn’t put anyone to sleep. Julie served as a second set of eyes so my in-house editor didn’t think I was a total freaking bonehead—and so far, I’m pretty sure we have everyone fooled.”

 
 

Echoed in My Bones

Lisa A. Sturm • Fiction • 2020

“Julie immediately saw the value in my project and quickly came up with a plan that edited out the elements that were impeding its progress into the hands of a mainstream audience. Not only did she recognize the need for my characters to have driving motivations, but she offered several ideas on how to remedy the issue. One of these suggestions became a critical plot point that brought the entire book together and even gave deeper meaning to the title. While I have worked with other editors in the past, she is the only one who seems to have her finger on the pulse of what agents and publishers are seeking. In her positive, supportive way, she pushed me to do the necessary editing and, above all, encouraged me to create structure so that every sentence might hold meaning and purpose. Her advice on querying returned same-day attention from several agents and also helped me to understand how my book fit into the marketplace. She did all of this with a generosity of time and with a spirit of friendship that has left me with hope that my debut novel might soon find a home. I look forward to working with her on my next book!”

 
 

The Feud Trilogy

Kyle prue • Fiction • 2017-2020

“Julie is an important part of my creative process. She understands what I am trying to achieve and always gives feedback that is concrete, helpful, and full of specific examples of ideas to attack the problems in my manuscript. She’s the best!!”

 
 

Crazy is Relative

Melissa Keller • Non-Fiction • 2018

"Julie Mosow is an ideal editor. After only a short period time, when she gave me feedback on my work, she seemed to know my manuscript better than I did. Her work was thorough, honest, and clear, with straightforward ideas of how to improve what I’d written. She asked insightful questions and encouraged me to revise and to complete my book. As a first time author, I am very grateful for Julie’s influence, which remained constant well after we finished our work together. I can only give my highest recommendation for working with her."
