Working with Abbie Greaes has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re serious about elevating your manuscript — not just polishing it, but truly levelling up as a writer — Abbie is an exceptional partner in that process. Her editorial report and in-line manuscript notes didn’t just highlight areas for improvement — they fundamentally shifted how I think about story, character, and craft. The depth of her insight is extraordinary, but what truly sets Abbie apart is how she delivers it...

It was an absolute pleasure working with Eva. Excellent translation. Highly recommended!

Working with Svitlana was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and a pleasure to collaborate with. From our first conversation, she took the time to understand not just what I wanted the cover to look like, but the story and emotion behind the book. She patiently worked through multiple concepts and revisions, always listening carefully to my feedback while contributing creative ideas that elevated the final design. Her communication wa...

Working with Cindy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her developmental editing went far beyond surface-level feedback. She approached my manuscript with the insight of a true craftsperson, combining narrative intuition with a teacher’s depth of understanding. Cindy’s assessment was remarkably detailed and constructive, providing both high-level story guidance and precise commentary on structure, pacing, and character development. What impressed me most was the educational va...

a book is a process. the process begins long before the idea of a book even enters life. who you choose to do your book, is a form of excavation. it requires digging, sorting, leaning into relationships. for me, it is and it is not about a finished product. a great unveiling has taken place with this collaboration with Nvard. you will not find a more highly creative person with intense focus. not only is she intelligent and talented, but an artist who has the strength and ability to b...

My initial thoughts after receiving Miriam's feedback on my query package? Wow. The entire experience was so much more than I expected. She went above and beyond to make my query letter shine. I deeply appreciated her editorial suggestions and sharp storytelling instinct, which helped me sharpen my manuscript far beyond the first 50 pages. She's direct and honest, but also supportive and encouraging. I felt like she grasped the entire project and gave comprehensive feedback across all piece...

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

Working with Allison was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. From the beginning, she treated my manuscript with genuine care and respect. She didn't try to change my voice, she helped refine it. Her edits strengthened the writing while preserving the heart of the story, which was incredibly important for a memoir as personal as Brunch. Sobriety. Tea & Plants. Communication was prompt, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. She offered thoughtful su...

Lucy was lovely to work with. She identified a core question straight away that needed to be answered while helping me with my book proposal. She was responsive and engaged and her helpful questions allowed me to find the focus of the proposal and polish it from there. I'm so grateful for her input and help!

Nicola was SO wonderful to work with! She very quickly responded to me, set a finish date, and finished *before* said date, which was wonderful. But most importantly, she sent me the most thoughtful notes that dove into plot, structure, character development, age range, marketability, and more. Everything I needed to know to help me make it the best it can possibly be! She even shared which house she thought it could be the best fit for, which I so appreciated. And she was just so lovely with...

Working with Julia has been an invaluable experience. Julia provided a clear, insightful, and highly professional evaluation of my novel draft. Her feedback pinpointed the areas that needed development and offered practical guidance that strengthened the manuscript considerably. I was especially impressed by her ability to understand the story’s core and offer focused, actionable recommendations. I highly recommend her editorial services and look forward to working with her again.

Working with Kevin has been exceptional! His artwork is amazing and I love the colours, details, and the facial expressions in the characters and illustrations. Kevin responds within a day and is so easy to work with. I was fussy with my characters as I am writing a series and wanted to get my characters the way I wanted them and Kevin worked with me every step of the way with no hesitation. I am so happy, as well as my book designer was, with his work. I am already signing Kevin up for my ne...

I worked with Jenny on my second dark romance book and was extremely impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail. She polished the manuscript and made it ready for publication, focusing on copy and line edits across two rounds, both of which were extremely helpful. I also appreciated her clear, transparent communication, flexibility, and quick turnaround, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would gladly work with Jenny again and would definitely recommend her ...

Lia was an incredible editor and co-creator to work with to bring my first spiritual awakening book into form. Since I was very new to structuring a book, Lia guided me immensely through the developmental edit to make my manuscript more robust, impactful, succinct and flowing. She offered super helpful feedback on where to clarify parts, bring my storytelling more to life, add examples and link each chapter so it all weaves together seamlessly. Through implementing her feedback, I found mysel...

Working with Celia has been an absolute pleasure. She went above and beyond, and the insights she shared with me have been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her. She’s an absolute star, and I will definitely be back with additional projects. Thanks so much, Celia--this has been a total blast and I’m super grateful for all your stellar work!
