As a first-time author, I didn't even know where to begin with cover and interior design and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Wesley. He was a pleasure to work with and gave me great advice and encouragement along the way. He was always available for my questions and always got back right away. I couldn't be happier with the finished product and will plan on using him for my next work. I would without reservation recommend him to anyone looking for the highest lev...

Bryony did a wonderful job reading over my script and providing great feedback!

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...

Working with David has been a wonderful experience. Not only did he listen to my ideas, he provided several renditions to choose from, allowing me to decide which direction I wanted to go with it. I will definitely be seeking his help with future projects.

I’m a new author, and I came to Jennifer with a 170,000-word manuscript. I knew it was too long, and honestly, I had written it more for myself than for anyone else. Before I went any further with it, I wanted an independent and honest perspective from someone who wasn’t just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. What I really wanted to know was: Is there actually a book here that someone else would want to read? Jennifer gave me exactly what I was looking for. Her developmental letter was...

I worked with Lillian on a 109,000-word adult dystopian novel for a developmental edit. We started with a quote request. Before I hired her, we exchanged a few messages about my goals for the manuscript, and I reviewed a sample edit. She returned my manuscript with extensive in-manuscript comments, which I read through before scheduling our follow-up Zoom call. As I went through her comments, I started noticing patterns. Some flagged places where the logic or character motivation wasn’t qu...

Working with Nina has been such a positive and productive experirence. Her knowledge and professionalism was of great benefit for me. It's my first time going through a process such as this, and it's been quite productive and beneficial. I appreciate her partnership in this process and will not hesitate to engage with her again, should the need arise.

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Pamela. She is true professional and did an amazing job on this project.

Kara provided thoughtful, high-quality feedback with real editorial insight. She was professional and clear throughout the project, and her notes were constructive and actionable—not just opinions, but guidance I could apply immediately. She elevated the manuscript while retaining my voice, which made the process both productive and reassuring.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

Working with Florin was an incredible experience. He was patient throughout the entire process, took the time to explore so many drafts, and delivered each one remarkably quickly. The final result exceeded anything I had imagined. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. It shows in every detail of his work.

Chet was a professional talent on so many levels and I could not have had a better experience. He made me feel safe and secure with our discussions, navigated me through the process, and offered very strategic advice and/or edits without making me feel pressured. We were able to have a warm yet professional relationship too which I think is very important for the end product. Chet is a strong recommend - his talent is incredible and without him, would not have had the confidence to bring thi...

Dr. Willoughby is both competent and courteous. We had good communication in the process and his editing notes were clear and insightful.

Ashley was fantastic to work with for my developmental edit! He was extremely helpful and professional, was prompt with returning messages and with completing his work. He provided great advice, clarification and outside-the-box ideas to help make my manuscript MUCH tighter and cleaner in the end. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

I have been a professional freelance writer for more than 30 years, so I have high expectations. I understand how to win business and deliver results. Cindy provided A++ service. She was professional and responsive, met the deadlines (delivering early in one instance) and I valued her input and corrections. I also appreciated that she sent a preliminary edit on my 2K word quote submission (without me asking for it) so I could get a sense of how she'd approach the job. No one else was willing ...
