Here's just a small sampling of people and projects I’ve been involved with over the years.
Delia is a highly experienced editor with a keen sense of today’s literary marketplace. She’s a real “writer’s editor,” with a deep understanding of character development, plot pacing, and more—in both fiction and nonfiction.
—Patricia Crisafulli, M.F.A.
It was a pleasure working with Delia. Her support and guidance on my proposal and sample chapter were critical to the sale and success of the book. She was very supportive during the entire process and even took the time to attend one of my keynote presentations when we launched the book. She is a pro who cares! I highly recommend Delia!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Delia Berrigan Fakis on several top-selling books for Hallmark Cards.
Whether we worked together on the Rainbow Brite children’s series, romantic love books, a book for happily retired people, a book supporting women living with cancer, or my personal book of essays and women’s empowerment writing, because of Delia’s knowledge, insights and support, my work ended up stronger every time.
Delia has obvious respect for writers and writing. She also has broad and deep knowledge of the craft, as well as a nuanced understanding of markets and consumers across genres.
Most importantly, she is a master of collaborative vision building. She helped bring my ideas into clearer focus and made sure that my own voice and vision grew stronger as the work developed.

Delia offered valuable feedback and insights on the book proposal for THE MELT METHOD. She was professional, easy to work with, and an enthusiastic advocate for the project. Delia really understands the business and craft of writing.
