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.

It was a joy to work with Evelina. She is a gifted designer, highly professional, and very responsive to my ideas. This is the ideal design partnership, where we speak the same language and can communicate a shared vision. However, it's then that the designer, Evelina, takes it to the next level, delighting and surprising. My book is a business book about the intersection of AI and Neurodiversity. As such, it's not a light read, but Evelina's design has ensured it is contemporary, elegant, an...

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

This is my first time writing a book and I am SO glad I chose Wayne to illustrate the picture book. He is AMAZING! #1 - I love his art. He really brings the story to life in ways I wouldn't have ever thought of. Also, I noticed that while a lot of the other illustrators had lovely drawings, but a bunch of them felt the same. Wayne's really just called to me and felt unique and one off for the books. #2 - Wayne is great to work with. He had some great suggestions on the book that real...

I loved working with Penelope; she was kind and easy to work with. She respected my writing style while making my manuscript as polished as it could be. She had insightful suggestions that many other readers had not picked up. Grateful to have worked with her and would definitely work with her again!

Conrad did an amazing job. His insights were sharp, with a clear focus on each item that merits attention. His suggestions were clear, simple to implement, and always showed a great degree of objectivity. I wrote screenplays for several years. The professionals who provided feedback in the industry were ruthless to the point of being simply rude and destructive. It always felt as if their job was to systematically destroy your confidence as a writer instead of providing objective feedback. ...

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...

Working with Alison was an extremely positive experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and thorough, but what I especially appreciated was her warmth and positive energy. She responded to my questions quickly and clearly. She noticed even the smallest details and helped ensure that the manuscript was clean and consistent. She was patient, thorough, and always willing to take another look whenever something needed to be checked. I would work with Alison again wit...

Joy was a "joy" to work with. She was professional, fast, thorough, and brought great insights to the project. She went above and beyond the scope of work. I highly recommend her.

Sarah was wonderful to work with throughout the publishing process of my memoir. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. As a first-time independent author using IngramSpark, I greatly appreciated her guidance, attention to detail, and calm professionalism during what could have been a very overwhelming process. She helped bring my book to life and made me feel confident moving forward with publication. I truly value her dedication and highly recomme...

Robin is a wildly talented copyeditor. The level of detail and care in her work was outstanding and I could tell she really put a lot of time and effort into the edits. She did an amazing job at keeping my voice in the writing, even giving character-specific suggestions for edits, while still making sure it flowed well. Going through the edits felt like I was seeing my book go from being a manuscript to a novel. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.

Laura's editorial report was thoughtful, incredibly detailed and constructive. It was clear that she had taken the time to really understand what I was trying to achieve with the novel. I appreciated her ability to identify areas that could potentially cause problems when submitting to agents or publishers, including things I hadn't necessarily recognised myself. Her comments on characterisation in particular gave me a new perspective on my opening chapters and have helped me see how I can s...

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

I have absolutely no words to explain how incredible Nicolae has been, but I'll try! Working on my cover together has been an absolute dream. The care, dedication, and attention to detail in Nicolae's work were clear from the earliest concept ideas; communication was straightforward, and he never hesitated to try my ideas, no matter how many changes I made! Given some circumstances, Nicolae requested that the project date be changed, and still completed the project with such close attention t...
