My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

Prior to working with Christine, I had a great deal of trepidation about the process, not to mention the cost. After vetting several ghostwriters on Reedsy, Christine stood out for several reasons. The first reason was that her reply to my inquiry was specific to the sample I had submitted. The replies from the other potential candidates were full of generalities. It was clear they hadn’t fully read my submission. Still, it took a couple of weeks before I chose Christine. She expressed enthus...

I could not recommend Martha highly enough. I came to her with a chaotic passion project and not much understanding of the industry or editorial process, and she went above and beyond in helping me understand exactly what my novel needed. The editorial assessment she produced was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and delivered on time, offering great value for money. What stood out most was how deeply Martha engaged with the work. She cared about my book’s strengths, its potential, and its...

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...

Lisa Kaitz is, without question, the finest editor I have worked with—and I say that having collaborated with more than ten editors across multiple books. She is exceptionally focused, remarkably attentive to even the smallest details, and consistently thoughtful in her editorial judgment. Like all truly great editors, Lisa is loyal first and foremost to the reader. She challenged me when necessary, strengthened the narrative at every level, and worked tirelessly to help me produce the strong...

I had a very positive experience working with Cathy. Her feedback was thoughtful, careful, and genuinely improved the clarity and structure of my manuscript. She was especially strong at identifying repetition and helping me tighten the work without losing my voice or the emotional tone of the book. Communication was clear and respectful throughout the process, and her notes showed real engagement with the material rather than surface-level edits. I always felt that the manuscript was being h...

I really enjoyed working with James. He was incredibly responsive and guided me through each step, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out, especially as this was my first book! He really helped bring my vision to life and I would definitely work with him again.

Jennifer is a fantastic editor. She was super easy to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond when I needed extra support. She provided thoughtful feedback and was the first person to let me know when my character wouldn't behave a certain way! Sometimes, it felt like she knew my characters more than I did in the moment. I loved working with Jennifer and truly recommend her to anyone that is seeking out a book coach. This was one of the best experiences I've had working with a...

Working with Steve K. at KUHN Design Group was one of the best decisions I made in publishing my debut book, Healing Without Shame: Faith, Mental Health, and the Courage to Be Honest. From the very first conversation, Steve brought professionalism, clarity, and genuine craftsmanship to every aspect of the project. Steve designed both the cover and the interior of my book, and the results exceeded every expectation. The cover is stunning! The imagery, the color palette, and the typography all...

I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

Janan is a fantastic book coach. She demonstrates strong range to understand complicated projects and concepts. Her communication skills make the work efficient, and easier to understand.

Hannah was amazing to work with! She was thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. Overall very pleasant experience.

Megan was an absolute joy to work with! My project was a complicated one with lots of quotes, images, and even recipes. It needed to have the look of a vintage book, which she accomplished with embellished letters for the beginning of each chapter as well as antiquing for the page backgrounds. She was professional in every way, patient with corrections, and punctual with my deadline. I have another book in preparation and I look forward to working with her again. Great job all the way around!

Kate was such a huge help, advising me on my advertising strategy for my book, recommending improvements to my Amazon campaigns, and setting up Facebook ads. The Facebook ads she set up made an instant difference, driving the book to the Amazon bestseller list for its category and leading to exponentially more sales and Kindle page reads. SO, she not only brought results, but she educated me on what works and what doesn't. I highly recommend Kate for advertising and book marketing strategy.

Kristen's attention to detail and thorough understanding of how to improve a manuscript were nothing short of remarkable. I requested several editorial services, all of which were completed promptly and to an exceptionally high standard. Her feedback was insightful, constructive, and consistently explained not only what could be improved, but why those changes strengthened the manuscript. Throughout the process, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping my work re...
