Working with Olga on the Spanish translation of The Anxious Girls’ Guide: Finding Your Calm and the Inner Calm Planner was a truly rewarding experience which I am sincerely grateful for. Olga brought genuine clinical intelligence to a complex project. The Tourist vs. Roommate anxiety framework required more than linguistic skill — it required real clinical understanding — and Olga demonstrated that from the very first sample page. Framework terminology, technique names, and the warm teen-fri...

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

Jen was absolutely phenomenal! I worked with Jen on copy and line editing for my third novel, and it was my first time working with her. Of all the copy/line editors I've worked with, none have had this kind of professionalism, kindness, value, and quality. Jen's eye for structure transformed entire chapters into clean, polished moments. I am so grateful to have found Jen and am never going back to another copy/line editor! 10/10, would recommend!

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

Absolutely lovely to work with! Brought my characters to life with care and detail I didn't think possible!

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...

Working with C.J. was an exceptional experience. She approached my manuscript with discernment, compassion, and an evident respect for both my voice and the audience I hoped to serve. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, comprehensive, and remarkably constructive. She identified opportunities to strengthen the manuscript while preserving the heart and purpose behind my writing. Her guidance helped me develop a more cohesive, substantive, and meaningful book. I am deeply grateful for the car...

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...

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

Lucia took care of my book! From the very beginning, she has been a standout. She loved what I wrote and didn't hesitate to extend her expertise right way. After getting my edits back, it was exactly what I was looking for. For a first time author, she helped with advice and small suggestions to better the story. Would absolutely hire her again.

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.

I’ve worked with Jenny more than once, and I would absolutely hire her again. While I brought her on primarily as a proofreader, her contribution went well beyond catching grammatical or technical issues. She has a sharp eye for context, phrasing, and flow, and she offered thoughtful, well-reasoned suggestions that improved clarity without ever trying to reshape my voice or intent. What I especially appreciated is that her feedback was never prescriptive. She flagged areas that gave her paus...

Izabela Ciesinska is a true artist in every sense of the word. Her illustrations for Claire and the Chatty Daisy are not just beautiful; they are a masterclass in visual storytelling. As someone who has spent a lifetime in this industry, I can tell you that finding an illustrator who understands the heart of a manuscript so completely is a rare gift. From the very first page, Izabela's vibrant, hand-drawn style brings Claire's world to life in a way that is both warm and inviting. Her use of...

Working with Simone R. was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. He was flexible throughout the process, accommodating my ideas while also offering helpful input where needed. Communication was clear, and he made adjustments without hesitation to ensure the final design matched exactly what I had in mind. Most importantly, he delivered a cover that aligned with my vision and felt true to the message of the book. That balance between listening and executing is not easy to...
