Jonathan exceeded every expectation I had for a developmental editor. From the very beginning, he approached my memoir with genuine care, professionalism, and respect for my voice. Rather than rewriting my story, he strengthened it while preserving the heart and authenticity of my writing. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. He didn't simply point out areas for improvement—he explained his reasoning, offered valuable suggestions, and helped me become a better ...

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

Absolutely lovely to work with! Brought my characters to life with care and detail I didn't think possible!

Outstanding service from start to finish. Matthew took my requirements and came back to me with an incredible amount of detailed analysis and reasoning behind his recommendations. I took them all and haven't looked back. His expertise is obvious from the very first message and his attention to detail and methodical approach elevated my desire for a new website into something far greater. He genuinely made a huge difference to helping me prepare for the launch of my book, not to mention me...

Dora could not have been better. Aside from being timely and thoughtful, her work captured not only the essence of the story but how I envisioned it. Absolutely first rate.

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Jessica gave detailed insight that will greatly enhance my book. Her insights were thoughtful and actionable, with great tips and great places to reach for inspiration. She was great to work with and I'm excited to see the improvements her advice will bring to my book once I include them in my rewrite.

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...

Working with C.J. was an exceptional experience. She approached my manuscript with discernment, compassion, and an evident respect for both my voice and the audience I hoped to serve. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, comprehensive, and remarkably constructive. She identified opportunities to strengthen the manuscript while preserving the heart and purpose behind my writing. Her guidance helped me develop a more cohesive, substantive, and meaningful book. I am deeply grateful for the car...

Charlotte was professional, dedicated, and responsive. She went above and beyond and provided clear, actionable feedback while also being encouraging. I strongly recommend her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Editor — Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way Working with Patricia has been one of the highlights of my publishing journey. She went truly above and beyond in every aspect of the editing process. Not only was she incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but she was deeply involved from beginning to end. She read my manuscript more times than I ever expected an editor would — and each pass brought new insights, clarity, and improvements that elevated the entire book. Pat...

If you have the opportunity to work with Steve, take it. I found Steve when searching for someone to provide an editorial assessment on a potentially tricky manuscript. He has an easy, open manner that invited trust from the start. From his initial communication about his process through his detailed report and follow-up call, the entire experience was smooth and professional. He was truly a pleasure to work with. His expertise in fiction storytelling was immediately apparent, and his final r...

Eva was wonderful to collaborate with. The finished cover is absolutely brilliant and when I’ve put out the mock ups on a social media ad I’ve had overwhelming positive response with people saying ‘awesome cover’ ‘beautiful cover’

I always hoped I would have a very attractive design for my first book, but the level of quality I received from Samantha blew away all my expectations. Talk about top-notch professional quality that rivals and surpasses the fancy, traditionally published books I see on the shelves. My cover has brought the whole story to life and it makes me feel really good that I am starting off my career as an author with the best first impression I could ask for. Thank you so much!

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...
