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 :)

I can't say enough good things about Leila. She was insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. Her feedback helped clarify the story and strengthen its emotional core, especially through suggestions on the ending and the overall message. She was also very responsive, and her edits and notes were always constructive and easy to understand. Leila truly understood what I was trying to accomplish and helped elevate the story while still respecting my voice. I’m gr...

Alicia has been a pleasure to work with. She keeps me updated regularly and responds promptly to my questions. Her feedback on my initial work was incredibly valuable, providing me with the material and references I needed to move forward. I expressed my nerves about sharing my work, as it was my first time, and she reassured me that it was perfectly fine. We collaborated on the initial feedback professionally, which inspired me to expand my novella into a full novel. Overall, I am very happy...

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Kate Juniper. Having no experience in the book-writing realm, I was unsure what to expect. What I received was tenfold more than I could ever have imagined. Kate has a unique ability to connect on such a deeply emotional level. She made me feel safe to make mistakes, to learn, and to be vulnerable in every aspect of learning how to write. She possesses a rare kind of patience that is thoughtful and kind. Her extensive expertise in writing...

Working with Kevin has been exceptional! His artwork is amazing and I love the colours, details, and the facial expressions in the characters and illustrations. Kevin responds within a day and is so easy to work with. I was fussy with my characters as I am writing a series and wanted to get my characters the way I wanted them and Kevin worked with me every step of the way with no hesitation. I am so happy, as well as my book designer was, with his work. I am already signing Kevin up for my ne...

Lia was an incredible editor and co-creator to work with to bring my first spiritual awakening book into form. Since I was very new to structuring a book, Lia guided me immensely through the developmental edit to make my manuscript more robust, impactful, succinct and flowing. She offered super helpful feedback on where to clarify parts, bring my storytelling more to life, add examples and link each chapter so it all weaves together seamlessly. Through implementing her feedback, I found mysel...

Emma is a delight to work with. She was able to give great feedback on my draft, while also working with my own ideas of what I want moving forward with my series as a whole. Fantasy is tough to write with all the layers, but she was excited to discuss all those layers with me--not only as an editor, but also as a reader and what the reader would expect with certain tropes and expectations. I am more confident now than I ever was before. I cannot wait for her to read the finish product and h...

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

Helen was incredibly helpful; her insight pinpointed all of my story's strengths and weaknesses. This brought me clarity as a writer, allowing me to narrow my focus and iron out the bumpier parts of my book. Her criticisms were encouraging, boosting my confidence tremendously. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Working with Rennie was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. As a first-time author, I quickly learned that editing is about much more than grammar, punctuation, and style. It requires someone who can strengthen a manuscript while protecting the author's voice. Rennie did exactly that. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and insightful. She challenged me where the manuscript needed strengthening, encouraged me where it was working, and always approach...

Great edit with high attention to detail. HIghly recommend!
