Working with Hannah was incredible. She delivered the developmental edit ahead of schedule, was always available for my questions and brought out the best in my manuscript. Her suggestions sparked my curiosity, leading me to see my charcters and scenes in a new light-even the few I needed to discard. I've worked with an editor before, but Hannah's guidance was and is invaluable. I would recommend her one thousand percent!

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

Lauren was excellent to work with throughout this project. She was highly responsive, thorough, and consistently delivered work of a very high standard. As well as providing a detailed proofread, she often went beyond what was asked by spotting issues, making thoughtful suggestions, and helping improve the overall quality of the manuscript. Communication was clear and professional throughout, deadlines were met, and I always felt the project was in safe hands. I would happily work with Lau...

Daniel was collaborative, professional and communicated wonderfully during the entire process. His illustration work went well above my expectations as I wasn't sure what to expect being this was my first time. I highly recommend his work and was beautiful to see how your characters come to life. I would work with Daniel again, no questions asked. I will definitely be back.

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

Svitlana is an extraordinary cover artist and designer. She understood the heart of my book from the very beginning and translated it into visuals that felt powerful, intentional, and deeply aligned with my story. Her communication was clear, her process was thoughtful, and her talent is undeniable. I felt supported, seen, and creatively understood every step of the way. I’m genuinely grateful for her work and would trust her with any future project.

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

Louise did an excellent job. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Rebecca was so easy to work with and made the experience very collaborative! She saw my vision and not only made it come to life but made it better than even what I had imagined. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Just do it. I'm so thankful I worked with Blair! She was responsive to messages and quick with her communication. She provided a thorough examination of my manuscript for syntax/ grammar issues as well as insightful commentary for me to consider adding context in a few key places for readers. Once I apply the edits she suggested, I feel more confident releasing my book into the wild!

My experience with Evan far exceeded my expectations. His technical skills, combined with his creativity and ability to truly "partner" on my book were absolutely refreshing, and surprising to me. He completed all tasks, including some late text revisions on my part, well ahead of schedule. I already have the finished book in hand, and it looks great! I would absolutely recommend Evan to anyone seeking these services, and I look forward to collaborating again on any of my future projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Rosie on my children’s picture book, and I couldn’t have asked for a better editor. She not only respected the heart of my story, but helped it shine with a smoother rhythm and clearer structure. Her edits were thoughtful and precise, and her comments always kind and encouraging. Rosie’s insight brought a new level of depth and charm to the text, and I’m truly grateful for her involvement. Highly recommended to any author who wants their story to grow in the...

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

I would like to say that Janet went above and beyond. She not only got the the project done on time but was ahead of time. She was 100 percent professional and communicated thoroughly every step of the way. Also I want to add that she didn't make me feel like a project but a person and kept the communication light and fresh. I will be working with her in the future hopefully.
