My initial thoughts after receiving Miriam's feedback on my query package? Wow. The entire experience was so much more than I expected. She went above and beyond to make my query letter shine. I deeply appreciated her editorial suggestions and sharp storytelling instinct, which helped me sharpen my manuscript far beyond the first 50 pages. She's direct and honest, but also supportive and encouraging. I felt like she grasped the entire project and gave comprehensive feedback across all piece...

Shanika delivered as promised and open my eyes with great suggestions which I have implemented. Her pricing was very fair for the scope of work I requested. I would use her again. Also, I had been using Fiverr in the past and not 100% happy with all of the representatives there. It was very hit or miss.

Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.

As a debut author, my first editorial experience with Donna far exceeded my expectations. She delivered ample feedback that will serve to make the work stronger along with specific rationale as to why she would make such changes, yet was clear about the boundary between editorial direction and authorial decisions. I very much appreciated the time she took to walk me through the changes and willingness to discuss other considerations about the manuscripts I had sent to her for review. Any auth...

Beau is amazing! My story is only in the beginning phase and Beau has been able to provide me with so much feedback and insight. I’ve been able to talk through my plot and the story development and end up with more material to work with. My brain fog has been lifted thanks to Beau’s in-depth review and my excitement has been renewed just from hearing Beau’s interest and enthusiasm around the story. Can’t wait to collaborate with them again and I couldn’t recommend Beau enough.

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

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...

Pamela has always delivered fantastic work on time. She's excellent when it comes to translating romance and erotica, and she's also comfortable translating stories with taboo sexual themes. It's always a pleasure to work with her, and that's why I'm still a repeat customer!

I can’t say enough good things about Mozelle. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She is a consummate professional. The assignment was a difficult one: proofreading a 375-page memoir that intentionally breaks many traditional rules of punctuation and formatting in order to preserve the author’s voice and style. Mozelle paid extremely close attention to every detail. She understood the difference between something that needed correcting and something that was an intentional stylistic ...

Jain provided me with guidance that I consider incredible. The notes and comments made throughout the text were clear and concise, enabling me to interpret and implement the suggested changes. She helped me rearrange my manuscript to read in a smooth, orderly manner. It is now a pleasure to read. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. If I write another book, I will look for Jain.

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

Pamela did an outstanding job translating my novel and this was on time and at a very competitive price. I used a lot of idiomatic phrases involving comedy and she did an excellent job finding the right German expression. She also translated the metadata on top. I thoroughly recommend working with Pamela and I will most certainly work with her again if I need another novel translated into German.

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

This was my first time working with someone to create a cover, and I am so happy I did. Ken was a fantastic collaborator. He immediately grasped the heart of the story and transformed it into a cover that beautifully reflected the hierarchy, secrets, and hidden layers within the narrative. His communication was consistently clear, timely, and professional, and he always made sure my questions were fully addressed. I look forward to working with him again on future projects. His creativity an...
