Dom has a long list of excellent reviews for good reason. He is the consummate professional, an active listener, a coach, and a cheerleader, imploring you to achieve better results. AI cannot replicate his counsel. 6 stars!

Dora was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process and even offered support afterward for formatting edits. Her work is incredible and I'm so happy with the final product. Collaborating with her was a breeze and she truly brought my vision to life. Communication was great and constant throughout. She kept me up to date throughout the entire process. It was amazing to be able to bounce ideas and different visuals back and forth. I highly recommend Dora!!

Oksana gave wonderfully detailed notes and constructive feedback, treating my story with personalized attention, sensitivity, and care. She is warm and collaborative, with strong storytelling instincts and years of professional experience that inform her brilliant work. She delivered her notes promptly and was very communicative and understanding throughout our collaboration. I would highly recommend working with Oksana and hope to have the privilege to do so again soon!

Sharon delivered a developmental edit that transformed my manuscript before I even began the next round of revisions. Her feedback was thoughtful, precise, and deeply insightful. Honest and constructive, she pinpointed weaknesses with clarity and care, always in service of making the work stronger. She took the time to understand my vision and treated it with respect, offering guidance that elevated the manuscript without ever diminishing its heart. Her validation of my skill and creative di...

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

Maxwell has a rare gift for seeing the 'big picture' without losing sight of the small, vital details. His developmental work helped me peel back the layers of my story and find its true heart. He is professional, insightful, and deeply committed to the integrity of the work. If you are looking to take your book to the next level, Maxwell is the editor you want in your corner.

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.

John was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He understood the brief straight away and treated my manuscript with real care and respect, while still being confident enough to make smart, thoughtful edits. His work significantly improved the clarity, flow, and overall reader experience of my book, without ever diluting my voice. I especially appreciated the way he made the formatting more consistent and reader-friendly, and his simple but powerful suggestion to personalise ...

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out 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...

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

Chiara was great and listened to what I wanted. She was responsive and finished work on time. I enjoyed working with her!

Kelly was a dream come true. Professional, thorough, and thoughtful. She made my voice stronger and clearer, and I also learned a lot working with her. Hiring a stranger feels like a bit of a gamble, but Kelly was a win and exceeded every expectation. I’m impressed by her effort and care and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Eva Maria Dietrich Carreño has been one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made—not just for my manuscript, but for my life. As an editor, Eva brings an extraordinary level of insight, care, and precision to the work. She doesn’t just review your writing—she truly sees it. She understands the heart of what you’re trying to create and helps you elevate it without ever compromising your voice. If anything, she encourages you to go bigger, bolder, and deeper into your trut...
