I had a great experience working with Joel on the illustrations for my middle grade chapter book. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and really thoughtful about bringing the characters and scenes to life. Joel did a fantastic job capturing the personality and tone of the story, and his illustrations added so much charm and fun to the book. He was also very open to feedback and quick to make adjustments whenever needed. I really appreciated how collaborative the whole process fel...

Jamie went above and beyond with her editorial assessment. Highly recommend!!

Bryony did a wonderful job reading over my script and providing great feedback!

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

Eli is an outstanding editor and was an invaluable part of making my book stronger. He was thorough, honest, insightful, and delivered on time. He doesn’t pull punches—when something wasn’t working, he told me why and, more importantly, gave me practical ways to address the issue. He helped me address problems with plot holes, consistency, character development, pacing, emotional impact, and how to create stakes early and keep readers hooked. He also challenged me to develop an ending that w...

The story was The Judge’s Daughter not Conspiracy. Fictionalizing a complex story based on real experience is a challenge. More so for an octogenarian emerging to write. Zeynep in a professional manner tested my work in her analysis against critical desirable elements rather than preach. She made several useful elemental suggestions to tighten my storyline, including a timeline adjustment and an impactful repositioning. She is pleasant yet concrete. I think the world of her capacity base...

Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely skilled, personable, encouraging, and impressively thoughtful in the way she approaches editorial feedback. Her advice was nuanced, specific, logical, and genuinely convincing, it always felt carefully tailored to my work rather than generic. She has a sharp editorial mind, but she also delivers her insights in a way that feels supportive and motivating. As a fledgling author, I found her guidance invaluable. She has helped me se...

Anna is a first-rate book interior designer. She has a great aesthetic sense as well as superb technical skills. I was impressed by how she integrated artistic elements of my book cover into the interior of the book. And what a relief to have my book files readily accepted by KDP and Ingram Spark, thanks to Anna's carefulness. Thumbs up for Anna.

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work with such care that I quickly knew she was the right person to help preserve my voice while enhancing the manuscript. What initially felt like a daunting process became something I genuinely enjoyed than...

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Working with Simone R. was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. He was flexible throughout the process, accommodating my ideas while also offering helpful input where needed. Communication was clear, and he made adjustments without hesitation to ensure the final design matched exactly what I had in mind. Most importantly, he delivered a cover that aligned with my vision and felt true to the message of the book. That balance between listening and executing is not easy to...

Working with Laura was an incredible experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation. She completed a developmental edit of my psychological thriller and provided thoughtful, detailed, chapter-by-chapter feedback that strengthened every aspect of the manuscript. Her comments were insightful, encouraging, and always focused on helping me make the story the best it could be. One of the things I appreciated most was our follow-up phone call. Laura took the time to walk through her sugg...

Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

Sheryl made our books come to life. We are working on the third book that she edited, and we are supper happy and thrilled by her suggestions, her attention to detail, and the additions she made to our characters and the story. Her communication is excellent, and we would highly recommend her to anyone. If you want someone to professionally developmental edit, line edit, and proof read your manuscript for a reasonable price and make it sparkle, Sheryl is a fantastic choice! Thanks agai...
