Testimonials

    “Shannon is a gifted editor and such a pleasure to work with on the process of crafting a book. Her attention to detail, her ability to hold sacred an author’s voice, and her unique way of putting just the right touch on words makes her my go-to editor every time!”

    — Cheryl Richardson, New York Times best-selling author

    “When I wrote my first book with Louise Hay, she said, ‘We’re going to work with my favorite editor, Shannon Littrell.’ Over the years, I’d learned to trust Louise when she said someone was the best. Shannon was a pro from start to finish of the two books I wrote with Louise. She was a calm support through whatever challenges popped up, from writing in a consistent voice with multiple authors to managing deadlines when Hay House decided to publish our first book six months early. I highly recommend Shannon; you will love working with her!”

Her innate talent, passion, warmth, and uncanny ability to gently guide an author with astute, insightful suggestions transformed my first-ever manuscript into a New York Times bestseller that hit #1 on Amazon, was translated into a dozen languages, and sold more than a million copies. It was the beginning of a beautiful partnership that has led to many successful collaborations.

    “I’ve worked with Shannon Littrell on several books—two of which landed on The New York Times bestseller list. She excels at the editor’s trifecta: understanding and embracing the material, cultivating a writer’s unique style, and bringing the project to life.
