Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Laura's editorial report was thoughtful, incredibly detailed and constructive. It was clear that she had taken the time to really understand what I was trying to achieve with the novel. I appreciated her ability to identify areas that could potentially cause problems when submitting to agents or publishers, including things I hadn't necessarily recognised myself. Her comments on characterisation in particular gave me a new perspective on my opening chapters and have helped me see how I can s...

Working with Kelly was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I had already run my manuscript through multiple editing programs and thought it was in pretty good shape, but Kelly still found countless errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement that I had completely missed. The book read and flowed so much better after her improvements. What impressed me most was how meticulous and thorough she was throughout the entire process. Not only did she carefully edit the manu...

Penelope is both thoughtful and witty -an absolute joy to work with. She took my manuscript of trash and helped give me the tools to progress it forward through honest feedback, clear examples and helping me to believe in myself. Working with Penelope is like hitting the jackpot of editors and I could not be more grateful.

I am new to writing and the whole editorial process. Kellyn was very helpful and understanding. She was happy to do a basic read through of the manuscript and then work with me honestly on where the manuscript sits in terms of publishing and what I'll need to do in order to get it to that stage. I would highly recommend her for any part of the editing process.

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

Working with Travis was an outstanding experience and ultimately changed the direction of my book for the better. I originally approached The Big Comeback as narrative nonfiction, and Travis helped me recognize that the story had the potential to become something much stronger as a fictional novel based on true events. What impressed me most was that he didn't simply tell me to make the change—he helped me understand how and why to make it. He showed me how fiction could give me greater free...

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.

Fantastic translation of my book. Professional. Quick-working. Easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs Spanish translation work done.

Jay Antani is an exceptional developmental editor. His feedback is insightful, clear, and consistently elevates the work without ever overshadowing the author’s voice. He has a rare ability to identify both the emotional heart of a scene and the structural choices that make it stronger. Jay’s guidance pushed my novel to a higher level, and I’m grateful for the care and intelligence he brought to every page.

I had a great experience working with Joe Levit as the editor of Forensic Basics. The quality of the manuscript was greatly enhanced by his editorial insight, attention to detail, and commitment to clarity. He was able to identify areas in which my original voice and intent needed to be refined without deviating from the original vision. His feedback was both constructive and encouraging, helping me improve not only the technical accuracy of the forensic content, but also its accessibility f...

Julia did a fantastic job reviewing my query letter. She was incredibly fast, responsive, and insightful throughout the process. As a first-time novelist, I had no experience writing a query letter, so I sent her a rough draft of what I had written. She carefully broke down each section, explaining what worked, what needed improvement, and how to make the letter more compelling. Her intelligent suggestions helped me understand how to capture a literary agent's attention from the very first pa...

Title: Exceptional designer and collaborator Working with Andy was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a first-time author navigating the design process, I had plenty of ideas but very little experience translating those ideas into an actual book cover. Andy was incredibly patient throughout the process. He took the time to listen, interpret my thinking, and guide me through the creative decisions without ever making the process feel overwhelming. What impressed me most was ...

Jonathan exceeded every expectation I had for a developmental editor. From the very beginning, he approached my memoir with genuine care, professionalism, and respect for my voice. Rather than rewriting my story, he strengthened it while preserving the heart and authenticity of my writing. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. He didn't simply point out areas for improvement—he explained his reasoning, offered valuable suggestions, and helped me become a better ...

Sophie is amazing. She provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on all areas of my writing. She was extremely responsive and thorough in her review. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
