My experience with Matt exceeded every expectation I had! He didn’t just help improve my graphic novel; he taught me how to think like a graphic novelist. From scripting and layout to visualization and industry terminology, he generously shared his knowledge and caught issues I didn’t even know existed. The transformation from my original draft to where the project is now is honestly mind-blowing. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and empowering. If you’re serious about learning and levelin...

Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...

Alexandra has an incredible gift, her feedback is not only amazingly descriptive, but also deeply insightful. She has a rare ability to articulate exactly what’s working in a manuscript and, more importantly, what isn’t, in a way that’s both clear and constructive. Her notes revealed the underlying structural and narrative issues that I couldn’t quite identify on my own. Thanks to her guidance, I now have a much stronger sense of direction for the next phase of revision. I’m so grateful for h...

Eric was outstanding to work with and fully justified his value in the editorial guidance he provided me. My manuscript was lengthy and complex: 80,000+, words 150+ references, 60+ exercises, and more than 50 charts and diagrams at the time of draft. It covers a difficult self-help topic that synthesizes a lot of psychology research, my own insights, and newly created exercises to help readers improve themselves. It was in early draft state and Eric was one of the first human readers to set...

Dan was great. He was insightful, sensible, and constructive. Enjoyable to work with, inspiring me to bring out more of myself. A valuable collaboration. I would work with him again.

As a first time author, I was unsure of what to expect from the editing process. Tom was very helpful and responsive. He answered all of my questions and gave me thorough feedback that helped me look at my book from a whole new perspective. Highly recommend!

Jill is an amazing editor! Her skillset is exactly what I was looking for. She does what an editor is hired to do - edit. She knows how to keep the narrative flowing, and spots the inaccuracies. She cites confusing text and where more elaboration is needed. She is a master! Jill met every deadline and was very responsive, encouraging me every step of the way. She handed me a final polished manuscript I'm proud to put my name on. I highly recommend her!

I worked with Sabrina Milazzo on the interior design and typesetting for my debut novel, and I am thrilled with the result! Sabrina is both very knowledgeable and personable, easy to collaborate with and extremely patient. I had pretty much no clue about any of what goes into the interior design process, and I found all of Sabrina's explanations clear and concise. Giving me clarity on different aspects of the decisions involved, and how they impact the overall design as we moved forward step ...

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Alex on my book cover. The concept he developed really captured the vision I had for my novel. Alex was responsive to my feedback, and was patient as I found my way around the different publishing platforms (and hence the required formats for the cover). I am delighted with the final product. Thanks Alex!

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

Michael is a brilliant editor, and a super-friendly, responsive, patient, supportive person to engage with. He was in constant touch with me throughout the process of editing my manuscript, answering all of my questions. He went beyond my expectations, for example verifying historical and cultural references and allusions in the manuscript, pointing out issues that seemed amiss. (I had mis-titled a fairly obscure painting, and he caught it.) I could not have found a better, more detail-or...

Working with Megan was great! She was prompt, professional, and also very friendly. I didn’t know how I would feel when I got my first ever editorial memo, but I was surprised to find that when I reached the end of it, the thing I felt most was excited! I could tell Megan really “got” my story, and I could instantly see all the ways that her feedback would take the book to the next level. I hope to work with her again on future books!

Working with Abbie Greaes has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re serious about elevating your manuscript — not just polishing it, but truly levelling up as a writer — Abbie is an exceptional partner in that process. Her editorial report and in-line manuscript notes didn’t just highlight areas for improvement — they fundamentally shifted how I think about story, character, and craft. The depth of her insight is extraordinary, but what truly sets Abbie apart is how she delivers it...

Shawna is amazing! As a first-time writer, I was really nervous about the process and wasn't sure how everything would play out, but Shawna made sure that I felt comfortable the entire time and helped me set clear goals for myself that were realistic for me within my framework. She listened to me and really helped enhance my creative process in a way that wasn't punitive in nature. 100/10 I look forward to working with her again!

Working with Rebecca Allen on my manuscript, The Case of Lord Simon, was an absolute game-changer. This was my first novel and my first time working with an editor, and Rebecca made the entire process feel both professional and approachable—from her clear communication to her thoughtful, meticulous edit. Her copy edit was thorough without being heavy-handed. She strengthened clarity, consistency, and flow while preserving my voice and the historical tone of the book. Her comments were specif...
