Gale was a delight to work with. Everything was done on time as per the schedule I agreed to. She is completely professional. She not only gave helpful critiques on my work but also sent extra articles and sample queries, etc. that were useful to me. She answered all my questions and was pleasant and friendly. I would love to work with her again.

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...

Mary Ann was a complete professional in every respect. Her work was creative and responsive to my suggestions. I can’t say enough about her wonderful design!

Working with Stephanie has been an incredibly positive experience. From the beginning, she was kind, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the needs of both my manuscript and me as a writer. She went above and beyond to offer guidance that was not only professional and insightful but also tailored to exactly what I needed — even when I wasn’t sure what that was myself. Stephanie created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and respectful, which was especially important to me given the persona...

Holly provided a developmental edit on my 68,000-word memoir. She delivered a thorough editorial letter plus over 100 inline comments, but what impressed me most was how deeply she engaged with the material. She didn't just fix things, she helped me understand what the book was actually about. Her structural feedback was specific and actionable: where to open, what to move, which characters needed more presence. She identified tense inconsistencies I'd been blind to and gave me grammar lesso...

Brianna's response to my request was the first indication of her level of professionalism and experience. She suggested that due to where I was in my writing process (I had completed a manuscript), I would likely benefit from a developmental edit. I was entirely new to this process so it was extremely helpful to receive this information. Brianna's process included an initial zoom meeting so we could determine if we would work well together, and from the beginning I liked her demeanor, directn...

Working with Raman on The Life Compass website and Twitter launch was an excellent experience from start to finish. He consistently delivered high-quality work, maintained strong attention to detail, and showed great responsiveness throughout the entire project. From the site layout and mobile optimization to the card design and strategic planning for social media, Raman brought structure, creativity, and reliability to every phase. Communication was smooth, and he was always proactive in of...

Laura's feedback definitely exceeded my expectations; it was a good critical mix that I can really see and understand what I need to do to make my story better. I would work with her again :)

Katie is, in a word, incredible. Super talented, kind, honest, professional, patient, and completely in control of her craft, which is marketing research. For a writer like me, with no appreciable feel for that critical part of the process, Katie is, in another word, invaluable. For anyone looking for a crystal clear roadmap through the exasperating maze that is marketing research, Katie is, in a final word, awesome.

Can't say enough about my experience. Working with Edie was a fantastic process—insightful, collaborative, and truly helpful in terms of elevating my writing.

My exchanges with John have been an absolute privilege. He gives honest pointers with kindness, which is most encouraging to new writers. His suggestions weren't just corrections, they were thoughtful enhancements. I feel like I can and should continue with my writing projects. Thank you, John!

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...

Kellyn was very thorough with my manuscript. She read through it and offered very thoughtful suggestions to bring certain parts to life for the reader. She was very responsive to my messages and checked in regularly. We also had a Zoom call to discuss the book, where I asked her questions and shared ideas, and she responded in real time. It was a great experience working with her, and I look forward to working with her again on future projects. I highly recommend her to any author who wants a...

Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

This was my first time hiring an editor, and Catherine demonstrated remarkable skill and professionalism. She provided strong suggestions to enhance the flow of my mini book while preserving my voice. For my next project, I will hire her in a heartbeat!
