Marta was absolutely amazing. Incredible editor, went above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

I am forever grateful to Sarah for creating the cover for my debut novel. I went into this process with no concept for how I wanted the cover to look, and Sarah was so helpful and patient with me as we worked through the process together. I love my cover and have gotten so many compliments on it. I highly recommend working with Sarah!

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?

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.

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Izabela is amazing! She quickly understood my vision and delivered a beautiful, professional design that elevated the entire book. The cover is beautiful, the interior layout is clean and polished, and communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. I’m thrilled with the results and I would go to her for anything I need on future projects. Highly recommend working with her!

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...

Sarah is the platonic ideal of an editor. As a writer, it can be difficult to navigate feedback while trying to stay true to your ~artistic vision~. The beauty of Sarah's editing work is that it is so in-depth you can just feel she is giving her all to trying to understand what the book is trying to do and being completely honest (in the kindest way) about what it needs to get there. You can also feel a big, beating heart at the center of her feedback: her love for books and good storytelling...

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

I hired Anne for a developmental edit on a memoir about my seven years working for a very famous person, which is to say a manuscript with lawyers attached to it. She read the whole thing and came back with the things I could not see from inside it. The main one: I had written a book about protecting someone. What I had actually written was a book about two people who were in it together and against most everyone else. Once she said that out loud, the structure reorganized around it. Anne ...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

Working with Sarah was an exceptionally positive experience. Her developmental assessment was thoughtful, precise, and deeply respectful of both my voice and the heart of my manuscript. Rather than offering generic feedback, she provided clear structural insight that immediately clarified how to strengthen the book’s organization, flow, and reader experience. What stood out most was her ability to balance encouragement with genuinely useful guidance. Her comments were perceptive, constructiv...

I can't say enough great things about Wesley. As someone with a packed schedule, I was nervous about how hands-on the design process would need to be, but Wesley made it completely effortless. Working with Wesley was one of the best decisions I made for my book. From the very start, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and required minimal direction, a rare quality that made the entire process seamless for a busy professional like me. He picked up on small cues and ran with them, k...

Working with Michael has been an incredible experience from start to finish. His editorial insight is sharp, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to both the heart of the story and the clarity of the writing. He has a rare ability to elevate ideas without ever overshadowing the author’s voice, and his feedback consistently brings out the strongest, most polished version of the work. What I appreciate most is his balance of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. He celebrates the wins, guides the ...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...
