“Lily Diamond never misses.” — Rebecca Walker, NYT Bestselling Author
“I cannot imagine writing a book without Lily’s guidance. My brain is always brimming with ideas, but Lily’s precise wizardry takes those concepts and crafts them into intelligible words and clear structure. It’s like she can hear inside my brain and knows the most poignant questions to ask that distill my thoughts better than I knew was possible.” — Natasha Feldman, Bestselling Cookbook Author & TV Host
“Lily Diamond possesses a rare gift. Her approach—meticulously honing in on what’s on the page and enriching it—was instrumental in the creation of my book. Lily’s method not only preserved my voice but helped intensify it. Her skillful touch and insightful feedback were pivotal in bringing my ideas to life. For anyone seeking to deepen and expand their work while retaining authenticity, Lily is your beacon.” — Scott Simon, Bestselling Author, Speaker & Happiness Entrepreneur
“Lily has the distinct ability to make you feel like you are a good writer. Working with her, I felt immensely supported and seen, confident and grateful. Every writer needs an editor, and Lily is the kind of editor that somehow effortlessly pulls the best work out of you.” — Alana Kysar, Bestselling Cookbook Author
Writing a book? I love collaborating with writers, creators, and cultural change-makers to bring their ideas to life. Over the past twenty years, I’ve worked on numerous books across lifestyle, memoir, food, psychology, business, wellness, self-help, personal growth, and more.
