Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

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...

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

Sheryl made our books come to life. We are working on the third book that she edited, and we are supper happy and thrilled by her suggestions, her attention to detail, and the additions she made to our characters and the story. Her communication is excellent, and we would highly recommend her to anyone. If you want someone to professionally developmental edit, line edit, and proof read your manuscript for a reasonable price and make it sparkle, Sheryl is a fantastic choice! Thanks agai...

Working with Gary was an absolute game changer in my project. His attention to small mistakes were incredibly helpful for my project to feel smooth and nicer to read. He was incredibly supportive of my project and I am super happy to have worked with Gary and would definitely recommend and would love to work with on future projects.

My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

If it were possible to give you six stars, we would. Robin was incredibly professional and helpful through the entire process. She went above and beyond in every sense, taking the time to clearly explain what services she offered in clear, plain language, and offered incredibly helpful advice even before we began the collaboration. The report she produced is a fantastic resource that we're going to be referenced constantly. Robin answered our questions quickly, and was always happy to provide...

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!

Katt is an extremely talented artist. I love the work he did for me and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next book.

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Ken was extremely helpful with the process. This was my second book, and I really wanted to make this book even better than my first. Everything turned out great. He was also very understanding of my lack of experience with this process and accommodating of my timing needs. I hope to continue to work with him in the future and potentially even have him update my first book to match the better interior of my second.

Camille was such a delight to work with. From our very first interaction, I felt supported and understood. Camille’s feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and showed a genuine interest in both the material itself and my aspirations for the project. They struck a wonderful balance between encouragement and constructive critique, and I came away with clearer direction, stronger confidence in the project, and a much better sense of how to move forward. I would absolutely recommend Camille to any wr...

I worked with Jenny on my second dark romance book and was extremely impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail. She polished the manuscript and made it ready for publication, focusing on copy and line edits across two rounds, both of which were extremely helpful. I also appreciated her clear, transparent communication, flexibility, and quick turnaround, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would gladly work with Jenny again and would definitely recommend her ...

Ranna did an outstanding job on my book cover and all of my interior design. I loved getting to work with her and see my ideas come to life through her skills and art. Not only is she super talented she is very kind and helps integrate your feedback seamlessly and ensures you love your final product. I would 100% go with Rannia for all cover needs, interior design etc. She is actually doing my second book as well because I loved the experience so much. Thankful is an understatement!
