Of her editing work, clients have said:

"Lorin has an uncanny knack for identifying problems in the development of fiction before they can wreak havoc. Her lucid suggestions illuminate the text in surprising ways, and her insightful and practical comments allow a writer to make rapid progress from conception to completion. She knows her stuff!"
-- Hal Jay Greene, Across Space Books.

"Lorin Oberweger provided me with the most constructive and professional criticism I've ever received as a writer. She was fast and right on target with her suggestions. I don't consider Lorin simply an editor; I consider her a mentor. She can spot barricades to good writing a mile away and help you remove them without making you feel like a hack."
-- Dennis Ernst, author, Resolving Conflict Once and For All

"Lorin's insights into theme, character development, character interaction, even subtle nuances of mood, have been invaluable in helping me create polished stories that can compete with other published authors in a tough, tough marketplace."
-- Dick Dixon
