Testimonials

“I cannot thank Sulay enough for helping me get my writing career off to a great start. As an editor, she knew exactly how to improve my work with insightful pacing comments, thoughtful plot critiques, and spot-on character analyses. Whether you're a new writer looking to self-publish your first book or an experienced novelist hoping to polish your current manuscript, I highly recommend that you seek out her expertise.”

Boyd Morrison, author of The Ark, The Midas Code, and The Loch Ness Legacy

“I loved working with Sulay! Her passion, energy, and intelligence made this creative journey for me a joy”

David Alan Grier, author of Barack Like Me

"Sulay Hernandez helped my first novel, Final Theory, become a great success. Her editorial advice improved the manuscript immensely. Thanks to her enthusiasm and guidance, I achieved the dream of every first-time author: a multi-book contract, foreign rights sales in more than twenty countries, a review in The New York Times, and a film-option deal. Thank you, Sulay!"

Mark Alpert, author of Final Theory

"I had written three non-fiction collaborations before I sold my first novel. I knew the process would be very different with fiction. And it was! I'm so grateful that I had Sulay to guide my book very step of the way. When she sent the first round of edits, I went a little off the notes and sent back practically a different novel altogether. Looking back, I don't know why Sulay didn't just cancel the contract and send me packing. It is to her credit that she calmly explained what needed to be done and steered me back on track. We writers are a neurotic bunch. It takes a gentle spirit to keep us disciplined and focused while at the same time encouraging our process and staying out of the way. I felt safe with Sulay. That's the best way I can describe it. I felt like I--and my words--were safe with her."

Aliya S. King, author of Platinum

"Sulay is the greatest thing that could have happened to me since I started writing my novel. She has the gift, the love and the knowledge to make any manuscript the best it can be. Her insight on the publishing industry is worth a million. Reaching out to her and getting my work edited has taken my novel and my writing to the next level."

Rebeca Gomez Galindo, author of Kidnapped Innocence

"Sulay was absolutely instrumental to the success of my book. Her dedication and understanding of my story made it possible for her to work on my project while I was in a state prison. She is an amazing editor and I would recommend her to anyone without concerns."

Prodigy of Mobb Deep, author of My Infamous Life

"Sulay Hernandez understands that publishing is a business and writing is an art, and she seamlessly navigates each world and builds bridges between them. She's courageous, honest and savvy. Her insight and guidance as well as her sense of humor were integral to the success of my debut novel and continues to inform my work as a writer."

Matthew Goodman, author of Hold Love Strong

“Working with Sulay Hernandez was a privilege. Her editorial notes were insightful, clear, and true to my characters. She not only improved my books, but Sulay also gave me the tools to become a better writer.”

Nora Mcfarland, author of A Bad Day’s Work

“Sulay Hernandez is a dream boat editor. She is fearless, sensitive, with exceptional vision and taste. (And she’s TACTFUL!) I couldn’t have wished for more. Working with her on my debut novel was a peak experience.”

Leslie Daniels, author of Cleaning Nabokov’s House

“Sulay recognized something special in Prodigy’s story and connected the dots to make our collaboration possible. She saw the strength in his raw self-expression and didn’t shy away from a controversial subject matter, giving us room to stay true to Prodigy’s authentic voice. Upon its release, My Infamous Life became a ground-breaking book in the hip hop community and we are thankful to Sulay for going out on a limb with us to share this piece of history.”

Laura Checkoway, journalist and co-writer of My Infamous Life

"I often think of Sulay on my book writing journey. I have her to thank for so much of it. She believed in me and that made all the difference."

M. L. Doyle, Co-author of I'm Still Standing from Captive U.S. Soldier to Free Citizen--My Journey Home and author of the Master Sergeant Harper Mystery Series

"I've had the privilege of working with many book editors in major publishing houses like Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins as well as smaller presses such as Curbstone, Lee & Low, and Seven Stories. These books have been in multiple genres: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and children's literature. My work has appeared in newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, U.S. News & World Report, Philadelphia Enquirer Magazine, Christian Science Monitor, the Guardian, L.A. Weekly, The Nation, Grand Street, Fox News Latino, and the Huffington Post. For the past 35 years I've also written for weekly newspapers, a daily newspaper, news radio, and the Internet. Yet nowhere did I find a more thoughtful, clear and patient editor than Sulay Hernandez, who edited my last Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster memoir, released in 2011. I do require patience, unfortunately--the nature of personality and temperament. But Ms. Hernandez worked with me with dignity and skill and graciousness, guiding the process without overwhelming it. She let me own my work, my revisions, the final product. And yet her insights and wisdom were key to ensuring the complicated aspects of the memoir could be salient and succinct enough to maintain a reader's interest to the end. That memoir--"It Calls You Back: An Odyssey Through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing"--became a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award in 2012. I'm grateful for Sulay Hernandez's sage hand and eye, yet she still maintains the youth and vigor necessary as a dynamic expert in publishing during these shifting times."
