Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! He took our daughters ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded all of our expectations. Every illustration was beautifully detailed, full of personality, and perfectly captured the heart of the story. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. He was professional, responsive, patient with revisions, and genuinely cared about creating the best possible final product. His creativity, talent, and atte...

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

Working with Rannia was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brought both creative sensitivity and technical precision to the design of Unchosen, translating a concept-driven manuscript into a cohesive visual identity across cover and interior. Her communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. She handled revisions thoughtfully, incorporated feedback carefully, and navigated the technical complexities of KDP formatting with confidence and expertise....

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...

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

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...

Megan created a cover that presents the suspense of my novel in a unique way, while also capturing a secret of the story. Megan is such a great communicator and I was never left wondering where we were in the project. I was proud to include her name as the designer of my cover in my published novel.

John was great to work with.

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

I truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth. She understood the book. She identified many of the exact areas I had been uncertain about. She had read the entire manuscript closely and thoughtfully. As a beginner writer, I felt she did more than just edit the manuscript. She helped me see what was already working, what was missing, and what kind of book I really wanted to write. That is a tremendous insight that she gave me. She also provided a detailed letter to my specific questions about the...

Look no further! Blair is the real deal! As a first-time author, I could not have asked for a more supportive and trustworthy editor. Blair exceeded my expectations in every area and gave me greater confidence in my manuscript. Working with Blair on my first book was an incredible blessing. She truly felt like an angel God placed in my path. From the beginning, Blair was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my manuscript. She approached the deeply personal an...

I had a very positive experience working with Cathy. Her feedback was thoughtful, careful, and genuinely improved the clarity and structure of my manuscript. She was especially strong at identifying repetition and helping me tighten the work without losing my voice or the emotional tone of the book. Communication was clear and respectful throughout the process, and her notes showed real engagement with the material rather than surface-level edits. I always felt that the manuscript was being h...

I could not recommend Martha highly enough. I came to her with a chaotic passion project and not much understanding of the industry or editorial process, and she went above and beyond in helping me understand exactly what my novel needed. The editorial assessment she produced was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and delivered on time, offering great value for money. What stood out most was how deeply Martha engaged with the work. She cared about my book’s strengths, its potential, and its...

I feel very grateful to have been able to work with someone as experienced as Kathy. She brings deep professional insight across all levels of the writing process, and has the ability to really laser in on the story, its issues, and the potential resolutions. In short, the feedback she gave me has catapulted my project forward so that I feel much more in the drivers seat of my story, and my writing. I am chomping at the bit to continue implementing her editorial suggestions. And in case you ...
