Felicty went above and beyond my expections. She's a great editor with a very keen eye for detail. She was direct, positive and professional.

Brooke is incredible! She has taken my writing to a level that I didn’t know was possible. Working with her has been nothing short of amazing. I’m very grateful for her expertise. I now have writing that I am confident putting out for the world to see.

Working with Robin was exactly what my story needed! Her honesty and industry knowledge are what I have been searching for, and I didn't even realize it until I got her feedback. I still can't believe how much her advice improved my story. I absolutely look forward to working with her on more projects.

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about my experience working with Felicity. Her services were extremely affordable and she was accessible and prompt. She was thorough yet astute and cut right to the chase with her feedback, identifying areas for improvement but also highlighting a lot of positives that gave me so much more confidence about going forward with my work. I felt like she really “got” my story and her observations and suggestions were all spot on and true to the voice a...

Elin is great. Respectful, cheery, and takes feedback like a champ.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Charles for his excellent work in helping to revise my manuscript. His qualities are many: He was very friendly and personal, which made the communication enjoyable. Of course, his editorial expertise was key to the task at hand. I learned much about writing from him. His suggestions were always relevant, helpful, and challenging too! The memos and document exchanges were very timely, which allowed me to stay on schedule. Charles expressed a keen inte...

Very attentive and thorough. Will use again 🖤

I initially reached out to Julie because of her experience with military history and religion—both critical aspects of my book—but was soon struck by her attention to detail across the breadth of my story’s concerns. I felt at once as though a fellow traveler had happened across my dig-site, understood what I was up to, and pitched in to help. One moment I’m brushing away dirt and debris from some bewildering artifact, extracting those pieces that might otherwise comprise the whole, and the n...

Ashley was fantastic to work with for my developmental edit! He was extremely helpful and professional, was prompt with returning messages and with completing his work. He provided great advice, clarification and outside-the-box ideas to help make my manuscript MUCH tighter and cleaner in the end. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

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 ...

Clint is THE best. Working with him was a terrific, seamless, and fun experience. Right away he understood my needs and responsed with multiple, imaginative, gorgeous concepts, all of which reflected the heart of my work. In addition, he was responsive and timely, working on an accelerated timeline due to my deadlines. In the end, I am thrilled with the final product and will not only recommend him to fellow writers, but also seek him out for future collaborations. I cannot recommend him high...

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!
