Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated the time she made for me and the thoughtfulness with which she approached my work. She made me consider many new directions to strengthen my manuscript, and that was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely look to work with her again on future projects.

This is my second book with Nicola, and I am so glad I came back to work with her. Not only did she bring my characters and story to life in whimsical beautiful way, but she was also responsive and delightful to work with the whole way. I had so many doubts and worries when I started the illustration process the first time, Nicola took all those away with her care, professionalism, creativity, and talent. This time, I had no worries because I knew working with Nicola again would be better tha...

Working with Holly and Agustin has been a genuine pleasure. When I asked to connect with both of them, I was met by two people who are deeply invested in the project, care about the details, and are always willing to help. Their dedication really shows. I'll absolutely be working with them again — and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Cheers!

Working with Tina has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my publishing journey. She is that rare kind of editor who brings equal parts mastery, intuition, and genuine care to every page. Her feedback was never just technical — it was clarifying, grounding, and deeply attuned to the heart of the work. I felt seen, supported, and sharpened in all the right ways. Tina doesn’t simply polish a manuscript; she elevates it. She listens for the soul of the book, protects its...

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

I'm so glad I hired J to do a developmental edit on my debut novel. She's communicative, thorough, and enthusiastic. In addition to advising me on structural hiccups like incomplete transitions and underdeveloped plot points, she corrected some typos and grammatical errors that I'd overlooked. She also took the time to answer the questions I had about her editorial suggestions. I highly recommend working with her!

Not only did Chris make some recommendations and tweaks that helped me paint a better picture of my story, he answered some additional questions related to the writing process. Including the next steps to take if I want to turn my story into something more. Good energy, great feedback, and really great work all around!

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...

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

Deborah was incredible to work with! I am so impressed with the quality of her work, her thoroughness, her notes, and how easy it was to work with her. I have been so lost in this process, and she has been beyond patient, professional, kind, and extremely responsive. I can't say enough good things about her!! I just loved working with her!

Working with Bonnie has been an incredibly great experience. I’m truly grateful for her support in bringing one of my dream projects to life. Throughout the entire process, I deeply appreciated her expertise, kindness and genuine enthusiasm for creating something beautiful together. Collaborating with her allowed me to fully relax into her professionalism and trust her work completely. She had a wonderful way of supporting my ideas, thoughtfully challenging me when needed and introducing fr...

John was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He understood the brief straight away and treated my manuscript with real care and respect, while still being confident enough to make smart, thoughtful edits. His work significantly improved the clarity, flow, and overall reader experience of my book, without ever diluting my voice. I especially appreciated the way he made the formatting more consistent and reader-friendly, and his simple but powerful suggestion to personalise ...

After an excellent coaching session with Kim, I then had her edit my first book. I learned a great deal from Kim, and she did an amazing job with my book. Kim is both friendly and professional, and I would recommend her.
