Working with Ameesha has been an absolute pleasure. From the very first conversation I knew she was "the one". It was clear straight away that she totally “got” the project - the tone, the ambition, the structure - and she’s been exactly the right person to undertake the editorial review. Her feedback was thoughtful, constructive and always rooted in what will make the book clearer, stronger and more effective for readers. She strikes the right balance of offering honest critique while makin...

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.

Stephanie is an absolute treasure of a human being! She made this first-time process go smoothly and worked with me on everything from payment to edits. I will definitely use her again and will recommend others to her who require her perfect skills! Thank you again Steph!

Jain provided me with guidance that I consider incredible. The notes and comments made throughout the text were clear and concise, enabling me to interpret and implement the suggested changes. She helped me rearrange my manuscript to read in a smooth, orderly manner. It is now a pleasure to read. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. If I write another book, I will look for Jain.

I couldn’t be happier with the work Luisa has done for me. Everything has been completed promptly, to a really high standard, and she has been helpful throughout. She has gone above and beyond to make sure the finished book looks exactly as I wanted it to. I would happily recommend her.

My experience with RuthAnne was productive and enjoyable. She was prompt, professional, and personable with her assessment. Her evaluation of my manuscript was detailed and provided both positive feedback as well as areas for improvement with examples. She was more than happy to discuss any of her comments and answer questions. I appreciate her time and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to other authors.

An excellent job as always. Anybody can be a graphic designer. Even I managed it to a reasonable standard. To be a book cover designer however is something entirely different, and Megan just 'gets' what my books are about. The covers achieve that difficult job of standing out, yet looking at home amongst other books of their type. The proof of the pudding is other writers seeing my book covers and passing compliments about how good they are.

Laura exceeded my expectations, and, if she'll have me, I hope to continue working with her over the next few months. Her industry experience and skills will definitely help me navigate the picture book landscape and enable me to write better structured books, and better stories. In addition, she has a wonderful way about her and is lovely to communicate with! 10/10

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

Really enjoyed working with Tina. Great communication and she did an excellent job of doing the copy edit for my first book. She didn't just make the edits, she provided reasons and guidance so I understood the "why". Will work with her again for sure!

I give Nina Roy the highest marks possible in all areas. She's simply amazing and I cannot say enough great things about her. Her work far exceeded my expectations- she praises what is good and takes the time and care to discuss what doesn't. Her suggestions about how to fix problem areas are of great help to me. Nina is so thorough and all her communqués just bubble with dedication to be of service too her client. I think she's a fabulous asset to my book and well worth the money that was re...

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

I had a great experience working with Daniel on The One-Star Guest. From the beginning, he understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the book and, just as importantly, understood my voice and sense of humor. His feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely improved the manuscript without trying to turn it into something it wasn’t. He pointed out areas that needed work, offered smart suggestions, and gave me the freedom to decide what ultimately belonged in the book. I used ...
