I was very impressed with the work Kristen did for me! Overall, my experience was great, as she delivered her edits quickly and efficiently while providing in-depth comments and suggestions. Since poetry is so subjective, I wanted an editor who would offer insight and edits without erasing my specific voice/style. And that she did! Kristen provided an editorial overview letter that pointed out my strengths and weaknesses and offered insight into the edits and suggestions she made throughout m...

Rachel absolutely nailed everything! She was extremely communicative, very friendly, and overall just so fun to work with. The cover art she delivered was incredible and feels as if it were just plucked from my head. I literally could not be happier with it. I cannot wait to work with her again on the rest of this series! I highly recommend Rachel for her cover art, you'd be making a wonderful choice to add her to your book team.

I am a psychologist, and I was very particular in using my intuition when reviewing editors' profiles to see who I thought would be a good fit. Catherine's profile led me to believe she personally invests in what she is doing, caring and motivated to give something to the world through her work. Catherine exceeded my hopes. My original content was strong, but too dense to keep readers engaged. She helped me streamline the book, maintaining it's essence and my voice while making it less taxing...

I enjoyed meeting Adam and working with him on my PB. He provided resources in his initial assessment, provided justification where he has questions and he didn't make assumptions on the characters. We had a virtual meeting and I was able to provide the answers and context regarding my characters and where my story could go. Adam left me with realistic hope that my story could be further explored to become an essential, relatable tale that would be enjoyed by many audiences.

Phil was great to work with, understood my vision right out of the gate, and brought the artwork to a form where my cover tells a story itself. Very polite, professional and willing to go in any direction I needed, with guidance from his experience in this industry, which was perfect for a first time self-publisher. This is the first in a trilogy and look forward to working with Phil on the other two!

Working with Jessica was an incredible experience from start to finish. She brought the world of my story to life with warmth, emotion, and professionalism, and the final artwork exceeded my expectations. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and collaborative throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to creative direction while also offering strong artistic instincts that elevated the book beyond what I imagined. Every spread feels cohesive and intentional, and she handled sym...

Edward is patient, kind and professional, and his phenomenal portfolio speaks for itself. If I clearly knew what I wanted, he took the idea and made it look incredible. If I wasn't sure, he came up with great solutions. I couldn't be happier with my book's cover and interior art, and can't wait to publish soon. Thank you!

Nuno continues to amaze me. This is our fifth time working together, and his professionalism, creativity, ingenuity, and attention to detail are unmatched. He has created a recognizable and amazing brand identity for me, and I can't wait to work with him again on the next project. He's truly gifted and a joy to work with!

This is my first book so I had manner lessons to learn that negatively impacted my efficiency. Chandler was kind, patient, and prompt. My communication style was readily adapted by Chandler. My book required a design that could hold the heaviness of the subject matter with room for the reader to breathe. Chandler understood this and designed a book that will hold the reader with care and compassion simply based on the white space, font style and size, and pacing of the manuscript. On my own, ...

Exceptional design partner, world-class execution Sebastian Cudicio was an outstanding design partner throughout the full production journey of my book, Beyond Blame: A Human and Organizational Performance Approach to Incident Investigation, Learning, and Leadership. From the start, he demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and strong creative judgment, while remaining highly responsive to feedback and committed to achieving a premium final result. What stood out most: 1) Strong design thin...

Candace exceeded every expectation I had for our collaboration. The maps and sketches she created for my book matched my genre's tone and feel requirements to perfection. I would go as far to say her art work improves my story! It's a really good feeling to work with such a talented artist as Candace. I'm looking forward to working with Candace again for book II & III of my trilogy. My dream will be when I can collaborate with Candace to do the maps for every chapter of my up-coming travel...

Michelle did a fantastic job with my book in not only editing but teaching me a lot about citations and when and when not needed. She was very easy to communicate with and did a thorough job. I will definitely employ her again when I have the need for a sharp, and focused editor.

Working with Julia has been an invaluable experience. Julia provided a clear, insightful, and highly professional evaluation of my novel draft. Her feedback pinpointed the areas that needed development and offered practical guidance that strengthened the manuscript considerably. I was especially impressed by her ability to understand the story’s core and offer focused, actionable recommendations. I highly recommend her editorial services and look forward to working with her again.

I had a picture book I have been working on for some time. I have had recent interest from editors but asking for changes in the ending which I struggled with. Julie offered wonderful revision suggestions that I think will make this project desirable for acquisition.

Ed is an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. He was professional, sharp, detail-oriented, and brought my nonfiction book to the next level. His careful work was essential in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of my arguments and endnotes. For any new author looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of the final book, I highly recommend him. His contribution was invaluable.
