Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

Jennifer is my favorite, and she holds a special place in my heart (and author journey) because she is one of the first people who saw the potential in me and my writing! I worked with her several years ago on two children's books, and I told her that when I was ready, I'd bring her a novel worth her experience and time. This WIP is that novel! I am so elated and proud that she is my editor, and I can't wait to work with her again on my next project! She is extremely responsive (always has be...

Working with Alan Hebel on the cover for Effortless Clarity was a great experience from start to finish. He was highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. He stayed flexible as ideas evolved and was open to feedback, which made it easy to iterate and refine the direction. What I appreciated most was how smooth he made the process. There was a good balance between bringing his own perspective and incorporating what I was looking for. The end result is a ...

I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to a developmental editor felt incredibly daunting, but Lucy made the whole experience enjoyable, supportive and inspiring. From the very beginning, she understood exactly where I wanted to take my book and helped me get there. She never tried to change my voice or make the book sound like someone else. Instead, she enhanced it, helping me express my ideas more clearly while keeping it authentically me....

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

I enjoyed working with Pascale Hutton very much. Her response to my request was prompt outlining clearly time frame and cost. Any questions I did have, were answered quickly. As my book is based on an historical figure and there were few images of the woman in question, Pascale had very little to work with but she understood the character, the time in which the character lived and was able to transmit that to the creation of a stunning cover. Pascale's first "draft" was the one I chose as she...

Tom has created a beautiful author's website for me that captures the setting of my novel while maintaining professionalism. He has been helpful with any problems and his communication and availability is great. I can't recommend Tom highly enough. Thanks for bringing my vision into reality!

Tilda’s approach was exceptionally thorough and thoughtful. What particularly impressed me was that she didn’t look at the manuscript in isolation, instead she took the time to understand the wider arc of the series, asked for chapter summaries, and really engaged with what I was trying to achieve over several books. Her wider experience of children’s publishing and working with editors and authors clearly informs the way she approaches a project. The feedback was detailed and very well organ...

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

Lee delivered several beautiful cover concepts on the first try, which made choosing between them the hardest part. I am absolutely delighted with the final design—it’s stunning. The cover perfectly captures the tone of my book while also reflecting my personality as an author. Lee was professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with. I would gladly hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented cover designer.

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...

Absolutely wonderful working with Allison! She provided in-depth notes and comments throughout my manuscript. The thoughts she has given will strengthen my novel without a doubt. I love the mix of encouragement and constructive feedback!

​I cannot recommend Robin Fuller highly enough. Working with her to edit my debut historical fiction novel was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the beginning, Robin was professional, insightful, and supportive, which completely eased my nerves about the editing process. ​Robin’s work goes far beyond simple proofreading; she is a master of her craft who truly cares about the narrative. Her copy edit was thorough and sharp. She even caught nuanced historical inconsistencies t...

Working with Charlie on the design of my book has been such a great experience. He really understood the feeling and identity I wanted the book to have and helped turn it into something polished, beautiful, and cohesive. He has a very strong eye for detail, and throughout the process he was thoughtful, patient, receptive to feedback, and genuinely committed to getting everything right. I especially appreciated how carefully he considered the overall look and feel of the book, making sure the...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...
