Testimonials
“It has been the gift of a lifetime to create so many meaningful works with Hannah. She has been a champion of my ideas, sparked new thought, perspective and so much more within me professionally and personally, and has been a dream creative partner in the process many times over.”
—Moorea Seal, bestselling author of the 52 Lists series (over 1.5 million copies sold)
“Hannah Elnan was a dream editor for my book How to Raise a Feminist Son. She helped me envision it, then let me soar with it, and came in with brilliant suggestions as I encountered doubt. She cared deeply for the subject. She had a finger on the pulse for inclusivity and intersectional social justice. She totally championed my wit and passion. Hannah has an astute eye, infinite wisdom, and such a warm heart. I cherish my fortune at having her as an editor.”
— Sonora Jha,
author of the critically acclaimed How to Raise a Feminist Son
“A great editor helps you tell your story better. A great editor asks good questions, sees the potential in problems, cares about the flow of a chapter and the sound of a sentence. Hannah Elnan does all this and more. I ended up with a tight, dynamic, and more insightful memoir, and learned a lot about writing in the process.”
—Erica Bauermeister, author of House Lessons: Renovating a Life, a WA State Book Award Finalist and Real Simple Best of the Year
“Hannah is an ideal editor! Having worked with her for over a decade on multiple books, I am profoundly grateful for her wordsmithing savvy, her wellspring of kindness and wit, and her ninja skills to keep schedules and deadlines on track without micromanaging. She is that rare gem of an editor that communicates enthusiasm and belief in authors while challenging them to grow and improve. I am so lucky to have her in my corner.”
—Sanae Ishida, author of the award-winning Sewing Happiness and Sewing Love
“I had the pleasure and the privilege of working with Hannah for six years. Her passion for books that move the needle toward a better world helped shape our overall publishing program at Sasquatch Books and informed our DEI efforts. She’s an exceptional editor because she’s also a quality human, and authors who work with Hannah find in her a fierce and collaborative advocate who will do everything she can (which is considerable) to help their book become its 'best self.' Writers will end up with a manuscript or book that exceeds even their own expectations.”
—Jen Worick, publishing consultant, bestselling author, and former publisher at Sasquatch Books
