I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...

Sarah is so responsive, creative and professional. I am excited to work with her again

Conni was the developmental editor for my first book, and the experience exceeded what I'd hoped for going in. From our initial kickoff call she was clear about expectations, scope, and timeline, and she held to every commitment she made along the way. Her assessment document was thoughtfully organized and substantive - the kind of feedback that gives you a real path forward rather than a vague sense that something needs work. She had a particular gift for knowing when to push me to narrow my...

Emily was a complete joy to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally organized throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made what could have been a complex formatting project feel seamless from start to finish. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that the book was in capable hands. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and reliable formatter.

Mike was great to work with. He was able to take my kernel of an idea and create many different versions of book covers to choose from. He was always willing to bounce ideas and provided some interesting contrasts that I hadn't thought of, but loved. I am already receiving positive comments about his work. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

​I cannot recommend Robin Fuller highly enough. Working with her to edit my debut historical fiction novel was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the beginning, Robin was professional, insightful, and supportive, which completely eased my nerves about the editing process. ​Robin’s work goes far beyond simple proofreading; she is a master of her craft who truly cares about the narrative. Her copy edit was thorough and sharp. She even caught nuanced historical inconsistencies t...

I am a first-time author. I worked on a memoir project for 2.5 years before I felt the manuscript had reached an ending point. I'd never written a book before, and everywhere I turned, learning curves blossomed. That is, until I was fortunate enough to choose Elizabeth as my Developmental Editor. I'd hoped for professionalism matched by kind insight, understanding, and patience - I got all that and more. Elizabeth exceeded all expectations. She turned out to be just the right choice for...

I’m a new author, and I came to Jennifer with a 170,000-word manuscript. I knew it was too long, and honestly, I had written it more for myself than for anyone else. Before I went any further with it, I wanted an independent and honest perspective from someone who wasn’t just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. What I really wanted to know was: Is there actually a book here that someone else would want to read? Jennifer gave me exactly what I was looking for. Her developmental letter was...

If what you're looking for is a professional, experienced, smart, articulate, sincere editor to join you on the journey of your work, then Jackson is your guy. Excellent across the board. Exceeded my expectations in ways I wasn't expecting. And that, dear writer friends, was the kind of author fuel I was hoping for. Terrific editor and person. Just do it.

Laura exceeded my expectations, and, if she'll have me, I hope to continue working with her over the next few months. Her industry experience and skills will definitely help me navigate the picture book landscape and enable me to write better structured books, and better stories. In addition, she has a wonderful way about her and is lovely to communicate with! 10/10

I want to begin this review with four Words: Tricia saved my manuscript. When I first wrote this manuscript - after personal attempts at editing, I initially sent it to QT. I got nothing but rejections. It made me sit back and ask myself, "Is there something wrong with this? What am I not seeing that they are seeing?" And as a writer, dealing with multiple literary agents, it's hard to understand what they are explicitly looking for unless you are already in the know. So, I after researchi...

It's hard to imagine a better editor or a better editorial experience than I've had with Lisa. Her attention to every detail is phenomenal, and her thoughtful suggestions made for a better book in every way. Highly recommended!

Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...
