Vesela's editing is magical. I'm so fortunate that Sounds True assigned her to my book because she brought a wealth of information, life experience, and editing smarts and made it sparkle. Everyone should be so lucky to have her wave her magic wand over their book or other written work to make it sing and find the right audience! — Caroline Miller, author of Getting Grit (Sounds True) |
Vesela Simic, thank you for providing a profoundly corrective editorial experience. You are generous of spirit, wise, efficient, and heart-rich. Working with you is a delight. I know who will be editing my next book! |
Vesela's work was crisp, quick, on-point, constructive, and sensitive to my needs. It had an unusual quality of caring, a sense of warmth woven into it. As a professional and a person to work with, she was fantastic. I recommend her without reservation and look forward to working with her again. |
I am always scared to read works by others who edit or summarize my longer efforts, especially my oral presentations. Apparently, my ideas are not that easy to translate, as seen in the unintended distortions that have shown up in such works. So, before I read the piece you provided for the Institute of Noetic Sciences, I must admit I was apprehensive. But now that I have read the article you prepared, I am thrilled by your work. Bravo! I hope to work with you in the future. |
Stephen King says, “To write is human, to edit is divine.” That’s the way I feel about Vesela’s editing. She transformed the second edition of my book on the Yoga Sutras with accurate and precise comments that took the book to a new level. I found her a pleasure to work with. Vesela is uniquely valuable to anyone writing about yoga, wellness, and spirituality. |
I have worked with Vesela on two books, and she’s been a joy. She works with my vision without imposing her own, yet she’s full of creative ideas and solutions. She is intelligent and diligent, and her line editing is first-rate. I highly recommend working with Vesela. |
As its editor, Vesela pulled together each issue of Venture Inward magazine with forethought, synchronicity, and an understanding of what our readers would find most interesting in their lives. She created a beautifully crafted magazine, bringing a thematic focus to each issue. I was always interested in how her own column provided a clearer understanding of each issue's focus. She helped make our work for the Edgar Cayce legacy contemporary. |
I highly recommend Vesela as an outstanding writer and editor and a thoughtful, trustworthy, intelligent, and warm colleague. She is detail-oriented, careful, flexible, and creative. I recommend her without hesitation. |
Vesela brings excellence and professionalism to editing. Having had the pleasure of working with her on Shift magazine, I found her thorough knowledge of editing, organizational skills, and team support contributed largely to a successful publications team. She provided discerning editorial direction and an understanding of the consciousness genre from the perspective of several disciplines. Her articles in Shift magazine elicited many compliments from readers. |
Vesela is an amazing editor. Her work is precise and professional. I'm grateful for her wisdom and help with my book, and I appreciate the chance to work with such a skilled editor and writer. |
Vesela has my highest recommendation as a detailed, creative, and thoughtful editor and writer. I've had the good fortune to work with her at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and Yoga Journal and have always felt uplifted and confident in my own work after collaborating with her. She is a responsive manager and editor and an extremely thorough and innovative thinker. |
I had the pleasure of working with Vesela at Yoga Journal. She was a passionate and dedicated editor and writer. I found her to have outstanding organizational skills, a keen eye for detail, and to be creative with the magazine's stories and concepts. She is a fantastic interviewer with a wonderful narrative writing style and a particular gift for capturing the story behind the story. She is a valuable asset to any editorial team. |
In my long experience in book publishing, I have found Vesela’s skill, knowledge, and thoroughness second to none. — Byron Belitsos, Publisher of Shift Books and Origin Press |
