are made

Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...

Working with Shelley transformed my book - and, honestly, transformed how I think about the writing itself. What sets Shelley apart isn't just her editorial eye (which is razor-sharp); it's her ability to see what a book wants to be and to guide you there with clarity, honesty, and real craft. She gave me insights I simply couldn't have arrived at on my own: how to think about structure, how to understand what the reader actually needs, and how every piece has to earn its place if you want t...

Working with Victoria on my cover was such a pleasure. From the very start, she did something I didn't expect she actually read and asked questions about the book, and came to our early conversations with deep, thoughtful suggestions to help the vision and what I was trying to do. That care set the tone for everything that followed; she's a wonderful listener and a truly collaborative partner. The brief was a tricky one; it needed to hold real tension between bold and warm, professional and ...

Elizabeth took care of all of my needs. I appreciated her ability to adapt to my changes during the project. She remained very professional and patient with me throughout this time working together. She always answered my questions. I definitely would use her services again!

I worked with Lillian on a 109,000-word adult dystopian novel for a developmental edit. We started with a quote request. Before I hired her, we exchanged a few messages about my goals for the manuscript, and I reviewed a sample edit. She returned my manuscript with extensive in-manuscript comments, which I read through before scheduling our follow-up Zoom call. As I went through her comments, I started noticing patterns. Some flagged places where the logic or character motivation wasn’t qu...

Zoe is a consummate professional. She has illustrated numerous books for me, and I can confidently say that Zoe has made my books better in ways that I never could have anticipated. I've learned through this process to simply let Zoe do Zoe. She gives each project a lot of thought and knows how to create a winning illustration to capture each moment. Highly recommend!

My co-author and I had never worked with an illustrator before, so we came into the project with a lot of apprehension. It's a challenge when you're not sure what to expect and are in unfamiliar territory. What drew us to Claudia was not only her amazing artistic abilities, but most of all, her bio and other reviews mentioned her patience. The reviews did not lie. We needed a lot of guidance through this process and Claudia delivered that, along with the most stunning illustrations which real...

Martha's editorial report exceeded my expectations in both depth and precision. I received nearly a thousand line-level comments, each one thoughtful and specific. Rather than dictating changes, she asks the right questions: where gaps exist, where the timeline needs anchoring, where repetition dulls the prose. She caught contradictions I had missed across chapters and flagged patterns I was too close to see. What impressed me most was her respect for the manuscript's voice. She pushed for cl...

Working with David was one of the best decisions I made for my book. His editorial guidance was not only thorough and insightful but also deeply supportive. He didn’t just edit my manuscript—he took the time to really understand the heart of my story, asked thoughtful questions, and offered clarity where I needed it most. What stood out most was his willingness to spend time in conversation, ensuring I felt confident in every step of the process. His feedback was both honest and encouraging, ...

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...

This is my first book so I had manner lessons to learn that negatively impacted my efficiency. Chandler was kind, patient, and prompt. My communication style was readily adapted by Chandler. My book required a design that could hold the heaviness of the subject matter with room for the reader to breathe. Chandler understood this and designed a book that will hold the reader with care and compassion simply based on the white space, font style and size, and pacing of the manuscript. On my own, ...

I selected Sebastian after interviewing several designers and conducting thorough research. From the very beginning, his credentials, portfolio, and thoughtful communication stood out and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. Throughout the process, that confidence only deepened. Sebastian designed the full visual identity of my book, including six original illustrations, five symbolic illustrations plus an additional detailed illustration, each of which was beautifully a...

Christine was amazing to work with. we developed a very thought out and well written book. i look forward to working together again

As a first time author, Penelope made the editing process seamless. Communication was professional and prompt, her feedback was excellent and changes to the manuscript really added a sense of polish and professionalism found in professionally released books. She also helped guide me in the process of next steps, which was beyond the scope of our work which shows how much she cares and takes a personal interest in the success of your project. I would highly recommend working with Penelope, and...

Eric was outstanding to work with and fully justified his value in the editorial guidance he provided me. My manuscript was lengthy and complex: 80,000+, words 150+ references, 60+ exercises, and more than 50 charts and diagrams at the time of draft. It covers a difficult self-help topic that synthesizes a lot of psychology research, my own insights, and newly created exercises to help readers improve themselves. It was in early draft state and Eric was one of the first human readers to set...
