Wesley delivered an exceptional book cover that surpassed all of my expectations. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a strong understanding of my vision and translated it into a design that is both visually striking and perfectly aligned with the tone of my book. His attention to detail, thoughtful layout choices, and artistic creativity truly set his work apart. Communication with Wesley was smooth and professional throughout the entire process. He provided valuable insights, offered ...

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...

Sophie was an absolute joy to work with. She was very adept at seeing where my story could be clearer and what was working and what wasn't. I really enjoyed refining my writing by using Sophie's suggestions. She was able to see some traps I had fallen into through using basic language and where the storyline and plot could make more sense. I would definitely use Sophie again, she is kind, professional and thorough.

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

I had a great experience working with Joe Levit as the editor of Forensic Basics. The quality of the manuscript was greatly enhanced by his editorial insight, attention to detail, and commitment to clarity. He was able to identify areas in which my original voice and intent needed to be refined without deviating from the original vision. His feedback was both constructive and encouraging, helping me improve not only the technical accuracy of the forensic content, but also its accessibility f...

I can’t really put into words how grateful I am to have worked with Yuliia & her team. From the very beginning, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly attentive to my vision- but what truly amazed me was how she took that vision and elevated it far beyond what I could have imagined. The artwork is absolutely stunning, full of life, emotion, and detail. I felt completely included and updated throughout every step of the process, which made the entire experience feel collaborative and str...

Tilda’s approach was exceptionally thorough and thoughtful. What particularly impressed me was that she didn’t look at the manuscript in isolation, instead she took the time to understand the wider arc of the series, asked for chapter summaries, and really engaged with what I was trying to achieve over several books. Her wider experience of children’s publishing and working with editors and authors clearly informs the way she approaches a project. The feedback was detailed and very well organ...

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...

Working with Shannon was an absolute joy and worth every penny! She clearly spent so much time going through my draft, thinking about what could be improved and trying to understand what I was going for. At the point I started working with her, I was really struggling with my book. I felt passionate about it conceptually but it wasn't working and I was so lost. I gave her a too-short, very unfinished draft and she sent me back the most thoughtful editorial letter and edits. She was able to ...

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.

Jay Antani is an exceptional developmental editor. His feedback is insightful, clear, and consistently elevates the work without ever overshadowing the author’s voice. He has a rare ability to identify both the emotional heart of a scene and the structural choices that make it stronger. Jay’s guidance pushed my novel to a higher level, and I’m grateful for the care and intelligence he brought to every page.

Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

Milica did an incredible job of interpreting what I wanted, and gently guiding me on good design. She was easy to work with, very responsive and met every deadline and delivered exactly what she said she would. I could not be happier with the outcome, a beautiful book cover that is already grabbing attention on social media, and a beautifully presented interior. I would not hesitate to work with Milica again, and highly recommend her.

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...
