I had the pleasure of working with Rosie on my children’s picture book, and I couldn’t have asked for a better editor. She not only respected the heart of my story, but helped it shine with a smoother rhythm and clearer structure. Her edits were thoughtful and precise, and her comments always kind and encouraging. Rosie’s insight brought a new level of depth and charm to the text, and I’m truly grateful for her involvement. Highly recommended to any author who wants their story to grow in the...

I worked with Holly on my memoir, a book about a tough childhood and building a business from the ground up, and she was fantastic. Detail-oriented to a level I didn't know existed. She caught everything at the line level, but she also saw the bigger picture: the conceptual storytelling, the arc, where the narrative needed to breathe and where it needed to move. I ended up rewriting large sections of the manuscript based on her recommendations. Every one of those rewrites made the final produ...

Working with Megan has been an absolute gift. She is not only incredibly kind but also deeply thoughtful in her approach. Every piece of feedback she gave was detailed, well-structured, and so clearly rooted in genuine care for both the story and me as a first-time author. She didn’t just edit my manuscript—she guided me through the publishing process with patience, encouragement, and wisdom. I felt supported every step of the way, and it truly made this journey less overwhelming and more exc...

I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer more than once, and it has been a joy every time! She is responsive, friendly, professional, and timely, and her years of editing experience truly shine through. Thank you, Jennifer, for another wonderful collaboration! You are such an important part of my publishing journey. I look forward to many more collaborations!

There is no better illistrator that I could ever hope to find than Shaun Friend. His work is masterful, beautiful, breath taking. He is also easy to work with. He was responsive to all my imputs and all the illistrations were completed on time.

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

I am so grateful that I was able to find Philip Bashe to review my manuscript. After reviewing his previous body of work - he was the only person I wanted to provide a copy/line edit for my book. He provided a thorough and exhaustive edit not only on time - but actually two weeks ahead of time to accommodate my own schedule - allowing me to finish my work during a natural break in my own life. More importantly than simply completing the work early, however, he poured an incredible level of...

I can't recommend Eli highly enough. I was completely stuck with the ending and overall direction of my novel, and he took the time to talk through different possibilities with me, helping me find a path that stayed true to the story I wanted to tell. The developmental critique itself was incredibly insightful. His feedback was spot on, identifying exactly what needed to improve while also recognising what was already working. Rather than simply pointing out problems, every suggestion came wi...

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

It was a joy to work with Evelina. She is a gifted designer, highly professional, and very responsive to my ideas. This is the ideal design partnership, where we speak the same language and can communicate a shared vision. However, it's then that the designer, Evelina, takes it to the next level, delighting and surprising. My book is a business book about the intersection of AI and Neurodiversity. As such, it's not a light read, but Evelina's design has ensured it is contemporary, elegant, an...

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...

I highly recommend Robin for your book editing needs. She is outstanding!! I give her five stars in every category. She is responsive, punctual, professional, and adds tremendous value to her work. She has now edited two of my books, and I plan to continue working with her on future projects.

Joy was amazing to work on. She gave me clear advice that's going to make my novel a lot better. She also completed the project early, and checked in with me multiple times during the process.

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 Jessica was an incredible experience from start to finish. She brought the world of my story to life with warmth, emotion, and professionalism, and the final artwork exceeded my expectations. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and collaborative throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to creative direction while also offering strong artistic instincts that elevated the book beyond what I imagined. Every spread feels cohesive and intentional, and she handled sym...
