Vesela's editing is magical. I'm so fortunate that she was assigned to my book by Sounds True because she brought a wealth of information, life experience, and editing smarts to my book, and she made it sparkle. Everyone should be so lucky to have her wave her magic wand over their book or written work to truly make it sing and find the right audience! |
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 in it, a sense of warmth woven into it. And as a professional, a person to work with, she was fantastic. I recommend her highly and 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 or, especially, my oral presentations. My ideas apparently 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 absolutely thrilled by your work. Bravo! I hope to work with you in the future. |
Stephen King says that “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 in the fields of yoga, wellness, and spirituality. |
I have worked with Vesela on two books now, 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. |
Vesela is an amazing editor. Her work is precise and professional. I'm grateful for her wisdom and help with my book and appreciate the chance to work with such a skilled editor and writer. |
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, her organizational skills, and team support contributed largely to a successful publications team. She provided discerning editorial direction, with an understanding of the consciousness genre from the perspective of several disciplines, and her articles in Shift magazine elicited many compliments from readers. |
As its editor, Vesela pulls together each of issue of Venture Inward magazine with forethought, synchronicity, and an understanding of what our readers may find of most interest in their lives. She creates a magazine that is beautifully crafted, bringing a thematic focus to each issue. I am always interested in how her own column provides a clearer understanding of each issue's focus. She has helped to make the work we do for the Edgar Cayce legacy contemporary. |
Vesela’s development of my book proposal, as well as the first three chapters of the book, greatly contributed to the book’s acceptance by a publisher. I found her easy to work with and highly recommend her. |
I thank Kristen Cashman from New World Library and Vesela Simic for their wonderful editorial gifts, which have enhanced these pages. |
Vesela has my highest recommendation as a detailed, creative, and thoughtful editor and writer. I've had the good fortune to have worked with her both at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and at 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 and a keen eye for detail, as well as being 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. I highly recommend her. 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. |
