Working with Sakshi was an incredible experience from start to finish. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and patient. Throughout the project, I made numerous requests and scope adjustments, and she handled every change with grace, flexibility, and a positive attitude. Her creativity brought my vision to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and she was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I truly felt supported through the entire process. I highly recommend ...

I worked with Ben on my query package and opening pages, and it was the most valuable step in my querying process. His feedback was genuinely practical. He suggested some great edits and explained why they mattered, from the lens of a former writing agent. He also provides two guides, one on writing a query letter and one on finding an agent. Those guides alone are worth the price. They gave me a much stronger sense of how to approach the industry strategically. My materials are sharper and...

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!

Richard is brilliant! I came to him with a project that I felt wasn't working, but I couldn't really articulate what I thought was problematic. Richard's editorial input was amazing -- he had great analytical insights and clarified for me what the underlying issues were. And he provided such helpful thoughts about how to go forward. I came to him feeling so disheartened about this book, not knowing what to do, and now I'm completely energized and have a very clear vision of where I need to go...

Matt was a pro throughout his editorial assessment of my sci-fi novel. His communication about what to expect, timeline, what he needed from me, etc. was all prompt and clear. He didn't sugarcoat his critical feedback, but he wasn't mean about my work's shortcomings, either. All in all, it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

Brooke is a highly professional and seasoned editor whose insight and sensitivity to a writer’s voice make the collaborative process both effective and deeply rewarding. She is remarkably flexible and adaptive, meeting the work exactly where it is while helping guide it toward greater clarity and strength. I am especially grateful for her help in shaping several titles for my fairy tales — titles that captured the essence of each story with a precision I had been searching for but could not ...

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

Incredible! I truly cannot recommend Frances more highly. As a self-publishing author/illustrator, this felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with someone of her caliber. What made this even more rewarding is how personal she makes the collaboration feel. Frances is incredibly giving of her time and knowledge, and in addition to delivering an extremely thorough line edit and copy edit, she filled our correspondence with nuggets of wisdom and insight. As long as Frances is on R...

My experience with Matt exceeded every expectation I had! He didn’t just help improve my graphic novel; he taught me how to think like a graphic novelist. From scripting and layout to visualization and industry terminology, he generously shared his knowledge and caught issues I didn’t even know existed. The transformation from my original draft to where the project is now is honestly mind-blowing. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and empowering. If you’re serious about learning and levelin...

I absolutely loved working with Tania. I reached a point with my manuscript where I had completely lost direction and confidence, and she changed that for me. She took what was essentially a collection of blog posts and shaped it into a cohesive manuscript that truly looks and feels like a book. You can tell how much thought and care she put into the process, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. We had several meetings, and she was always engaged, encouraging, and insightful. She also ...

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.

When I say I loved every second of working with Rennie Dyball, I loved every second. She took the time to understand my thoughts, needs and ideas regarding my project. And she gave me honest feedback on the current status of my project. Next, she provided me with sequential steps to move my project to the next level. I've gained in confidence with her feedback and I'm better off as a professional writer because of her feedback and direction. I count it all a joy and if you're considering...

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on my...

Working with Tiffani was a fantastic experience. Her line edit was precise and insightful, strengthening the prose while preserving the voice and rhythm of my novel - something that mattered enormously to me. She spotted repetition patterns and sentence-level clunkiness I hadn’t seen, and her suggestions tightened and clarified the writing without flattening its personality. My manuscript is unquestionably stronger as a result. Professional, perceptive, and a genuine pleasure to collaborate ...
