Christina was an outstanding partner in bringing my website to life. I came to her with a vision — but not much artistic vocabulary to describe it. She quickly translated ideas into thoughtful prototypes that captured exactly what I was hoping for, often before I could fully articulate it myself. Each iteration was clear, elegant, and aligned with the tone of my book. What impressed me most was her responsiveness and flexibility. When I suggested changes or refinements, she implemented them...

Claire is a writer's dream editor and proofreader. Her thorough attention to detail and responsiveness are reassuring for new authors like myself who value an expert's guidance and support. She also clearly read every word for meaning and clarity in addition to providing thoughtful comments and questions. I would work with her again without hesitation!

Danielle was wonderful to work with! Her edit letter and in-document comments were extremely thorough and helpful, and her feedback was delivered in such a kind, professional and gentle manner. Danielle's unbiased/neutral perspective was exactly what I needed to refine my manuscript. Thanks Danielle!

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...

Flavia is an excellent cover illustrator. Not only was her work beautiful, she was also professional and caring throughout the entire design process. I am so grateful to her for designing such a beautiful cover for my book, and I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to work with her again, especially since she gave such a fair price. A big thank you!

Raul was extremely easy to work with. Very quick to respond to any question or concern that I had. His concepts for my cover were well thought out and absolutely beautiful. It was difficult to pick one from the five he presented. I can't recommend him highly enough.

This was my second book working with Mozelle. She is fantastic. I am never in the dark. I always know what to expect with her because of her great communication. I have learned so much with her. She doesn't just send back files and leave you to figure out anything. Her explanations are extremely thorough, and I really feel good with each interaction. I will hire her every time if I am able.

Sarah did an amazing job on my manuscript. Not only did she spot typos, she identified phrases that were mismatched for a particular generation or geographical location. She's thorough, attentive, and professional. Without a doubt, I'll ask her to edit my next work. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and talent. My novel is much improved because of her input. Thank you, Sarah. D. M. Reed

Working with Sarah on my YA novel was such a positive experience. Right from the start she was highly responsive and engaged in my story premise. This was my first experience with a professional editor and Sarah answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Most importantly, the developmental edits Sarah returned were invaluable! Sarah's edits were detailed, thorough and delivered so thoughtfully. Her attention to detail really stood out to me, as did her ability to deliver feedback in a c...

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Kate was such a huge help, advising me on my advertising strategy for my book, recommending improvements to my Amazon campaigns, and setting up Facebook ads. The Facebook ads she set up made an instant difference, driving the book to the Amazon bestseller list for its category and leading to exponentially more sales and Kindle page reads. SO, she not only brought results, but she educated me on what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend Kate for advertising and book marketing strategy.

Mamie was amazing. She is very experienced and knows what she is doing. she was also very flexible with what she agreed to work with me on. I wasn't sure about certain aspects of a marketing plan and she let me pick and choose what I felt was highest yield for me. I would definitely work with Mamie again.

I can’t praise Jo too highly. She has helped me to turn my scribbling into something I can now submit to literary agents.

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )
