I always hoped I would have a very attractive design for my first book, but the level of quality I received from Samantha blew away all my expectations. Talk about top-notch professional quality that rivals and surpasses the fancy, traditionally published books I see on the shelves. My cover has brought the whole story to life and it makes me feel really good that I am starting off my career as an author with the best first impression I could ask for. Thank you so much!

James is a master of his craft and so easy to work with. What I loved most about James was he brought some fantastic ideas for me to go through and see which I ultimately loved and said let's go with it because it's unique and will stand out. I absolutely have nothing bad to say about James as he was friendly, on schedule and always brought ideas which made it easy for me to make decisions vice trying to guide him to design something that I'm not qualified to do. Will I work with him aga...

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

Flavia is an excellent cover illustrator. Not only was her work beautiful, she was also professional and caring throughout the entire design process. I am so grateful to her for designing such a beautiful cover for my book, and I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to work with her again, especially since she gave such a fair price. A big thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about Mozelle. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She is a consummate professional. The assignment was a difficult one: proofreading a 375-page memoir that intentionally breaks many traditional rules of punctuation and formatting in order to preserve the author’s voice and style. Mozelle paid extremely close attention to every detail. She understood the difference between something that needed correcting and something that was an intentional stylistic ...

Working with Molly has been such a wonderful experience. Because this memoir is so deeply personal to me, trusting someone else with my story felt like a big step. From the very beginning, she handled my words with such care, thoughtfulness, and respect. She understood what I was trying to say, honored my voice, and offered guidance that made my manuscript stronger without ever making it feel less like mine. I came away from this experience feeling encouraged, confident, and even more excite...

Getting helpful advice from Vicky on how to market my books in the UK has been an amazing experience. Vicky certainly went the 'extra mile ' to ensure that I had all the information I needed to push my books out into the marketplace where they belong. Helpful and so full of useful ideas - these materials are giving me the assistance I needed. An real 'expert' helping others - well done, Vicky - thank you so much for your help.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed on my children’s STEM book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ed designed and led the illustration effort from start to finish, while always making sure my vision was front and center. The final illustrations are vibrant, engaging, and exactly what I envisioned for young readers. I’d highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an illustrator who can lead a project with professionalism and deliver exceptional work. In fact, I’m already working...

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.

I congratulate myself for hiring Lisa to write an editorial assessment of my self-help manuscript for fellow people with disabilities. My interaction with her were professional and warm. As part of her recommendations, she confirmed some of my instincts about what might have to be reworked, and some new aspects that I couldn't see for having been so close to my work for a long time, This helped me decide that teaming up with an editor who has more distance from it, and all the writing and pub...

I had the pleasure of working with Saranne again for the final edit of Stanley Tails: A Rescue Dog’s Adventures – Book 1, and I could not be happier with the experience. Saranne did a beautiful job preparing the manuscript for the next stage of the publishing process and for my illustrator. Her editing is thoughtful, perceptive, and respectful of the author’s voice. She has a wonderful ability to recognize what a story needs while still allowing it to remain unmistakably the writer’s own. W...

Working with Nina Bruhns was a fantastic learning experience from beginning to end, and one I would recommend without hesitation to any writer, but especially to debut authors finding their footing. As a first-time novelist, I wasn't entirely sure what professional editorial feedback would look like or how it would feel to receive it. Nina understood exactly where I was in the writing process and met me there with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. She provided two invaluable doc...

Deborah did a wonderful job as the copy editor for my middle grade mystery. Her comments were thoughtful and I felt confident with her suggested changes. She fact-checked small details that I didn't realize were inaccurate. I also appreciated the quick turnaround time. It was a great experience working with Deborah!

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 Shelley was an outstanding experience. From our earliest conversations, she showed a real ability to understand not only the manuscript itself, but also what we were trying to accomplish with its tone, style, and voice. She demonstrated an understanding of our voice and influences from the outset, while also taking the time to confirm our intentions before trying to guide the novel into any one standard box. What impressed us most was that her edit never felt generic or standard...
