Laurie Bernstein is an outstanding editor and professional in the publishing industry. Her credentials are beyond excellent, and she brings her authentic expertise to the work. She is meticulous, patient, and gracious. I handed her a manuscript that was riddled with errors and duplications. She sent me back a manuscript that provided clear directions for possible improvements, encouraged me to think deeply about my message and story, and to keep working toward excellence. Thanks to Laurie. I ...

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

Krista was a dream to work with on this project! She was proactive in her communication and even completed the project ahead of the initial due date WITH a holiday in the middle of the timeframe. I would love to work with her again on upcoming projects and would recommend her to anyone looking for an honest professional editorial review.

Working with Ed was absolutely fabulous, from the moodboard he sent me immediately with ideas for my cover to the three potential covers themselves and right along in the process until we picked a final cover and colors and he completed it. He is a consummate professional, totally responsive, and incredibly talented. I finally have the sort of cover I've been wanting for one of the books in my mystery series ever since I started writing them. The finished cover is so gorgeous that I can't sto...

I hired Savannah to do a developmental edit on my manuscript. The thought of finding someone to edit my work was intimidating, but Savannah came highly recommended, and it took only one conversation to know she would be the right person to collaborate with. As I write this review, I wish nothing more than to amplify the praise that others have shared. She took exceptional care of my manuscript, and provided invaluable feedback. She was easy to communicate with and provided flexibility in se...

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...

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

If I could give ten stars I would. Deborah's responsiveness and eagle eye for detail caught things that at least five other people did not. She helped me tie up loose ends I forgot about and after applying her edits, I sincerely believe she made my book better. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

It was a joy to work with Evelina. She is a gifted designer, highly professional, and very responsive to my ideas. This is the ideal design partnership, where we speak the same language and can communicate a shared vision. However, it's then that the designer, Evelina, takes it to the next level, delighting and surprising. My book is a business book about the intersection of AI and Neurodiversity. As such, it's not a light read, but Evelina's design has ensured it is contemporary, elegant, an...

Consistently beautiful layouts and total professionalism.Trusting someone with the layout of your book for the third time is an easy choice when they are as talented as Steve. He handles everything from chapter headings to drop caps with incredible precision and care, ensuring a perfect reading experience. Steve is communicative, efficient, and consistently raises the production value of our work. Thank you, Steve, for helping us bring another beautiful book to life!

Victoria was not only wonderful to deal with, friendly and accommodating, she also provided me with a thorough and detailed edit that has helped me produce a polished manuscript. Her communication was excellent and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Val proofread my novel The Sovereign and caught way more than I expected. Not just typos and style sheet inconsistencies, but continuity and timeline issues I had stopped noticing. Her notes always gave me options instead of telling me what to do, so the book still sounds like me. Great experience, would hire her again.

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!
