Review Title: Flag Football Highlight Reels
My daughter is a senior. She’s been playing flag football for 6 years but never thought she could play at the collegiate level since it didn’t exist when she first started playing. She has been attending the same high school and played 3 years on their varsity flag football team. This past year her team went CIF in flag football so the competition was stiffer than it used to be. Unfortunately, her high school flag football varsity coaches/athletic program did not take stats to put up on Max Preps for college coaches to review. My daughter was very nervous because she did not think she would get any prospective colleges to scout her because she had no stats, and her team was eliminated during the quarterfinals.
However, Mana from Tapa Cloth Media is the sole reason my daughter has college offers to play flag football. Mana came out to film my daughter when she played 5v5, 6v6, 7v7 and 8v8. Mana captured all the different positions my daughter played (both defense and offense) and even took some amateur video footage my husband and I took and integrated it into the highlight reels.
Mana knew exactly what college coaches were looking for so she keyed on certain plays to highlight my daughter’s abilities to read and react. Since time was of the essence, she finished the highlight reels quickly, and my daughter was able to send the reels out to college coaches/recruiters. As a result, my daughter has received multiple offers in a short amount of time despite not having any stats taken.
Mana is very professional and timely. We are so happy with the work she did for our daughter, and I would highly recommend her services especially for all college recruiting for all sports.

There are editors, and then there is Noella. I say this because she goes above and beyond the expected duties of an editor. She cares about your work as if the stories were crafted from her own imagination and loves the characters as if they were her own, all while ensuring she maintains the essence of the author’s voice.
I had the privilege of having Noella edit my third release. I say privilege because my first experience with an editor for my debut novel wasn’t good. I only discovered the disservice done to my art after being published, when readers pointed out certain grammatical issues. I brought this feedback to my editor at the time, who brushed it off and claimed it wasn’t wrong, dismissing the readers’ concerns as them being picky. I lost faith in this editor and asked a fellow author to review my book for grammatical issues. To my horror, the disservice was even more profound than I initially thought. As someone who takes pride in my work, having it critiqued in such a manner after paying and trusting a professional editor from a reputable source was heartbreaking.
When it came time for my third release, I was so traumatized by my previous experience that I had to unlearn everything that editor had taught me. Even more distressing was the anxiety of finding another editor I could trust to treat my art with respect and do the job they were paid for. Luckily, I was able to convince Noella to take me on as a client, and I was blown away by the quality of her work on my manuscript. Noella not only made suggestions that enhanced the quality of my writing, but she also explained why she made these suggestions. If a sentence was a run-on, she explained why. My former editor did none of this, and I felt even more heartbroken and filled with disappointment when I compared her work to Noella’s. In hindsight, working with Noella showed me that my former editor did the bare minimum on my manuscript and failed to deliver what I paid her for, despite claiming she had reviewed it four times.
So, after these ramblings, all I can say is that if you want an editor who will work with you to ensure your manuscript is pristine for publication, then Noella is the person for you. She takes pride in herself and, therefore, takes pride in the quality work she produces. She will handle your work with care and respect.
