I post fiction, nonfiction and musings on my substack, the Wider World
"As the world burns and we are complicit, I will send you a healthy mix of wonder and rage, awe and beauty, despair and magic, striving always to land on the side of love and understand how we get there."
"One of the best decisions I’ve ever made professionally or personally was selecting Sadie Rittman as editor for my manuscript. I submitted my manuscript to Sadie while in its raw stages. Through her incredible editing acumen, what she was able to accomplish in a short time frame was more than remarkable. It was incredible. Sadie is more than an editor- I also consider her a writing coach and teacher who’s extremely dedicated to her craft. I highly recommend Sadie Rittman to anyone who’s searching for a devoted, fierce, competent, and diligent editor who will embrace their manuscript vigorously and who’s seeking thorough results."
