I have absolutely no words to explain how incredible Nicolae has been, but I'll try! Working on my cover together has been an absolute dream. The care, dedication, and attention to detail in Nicolae's work were clear from the earliest concept ideas; communication was straightforward, and he never hesitated to try my ideas, no matter how many changes I made! Given some circumstances, Nicolae requested that the project date be changed, and still completed the project with such close attention t...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

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!

You cannot do better than Sara, so don't bother trying! I initially chose to work with her because she was the only editor who showed actual excitement for my project, and that was a choice well made. Sara is genuinely passionate about your story, your characters, and her work as an editor. She truly wants to see your story become the best it can be and strikes an excellent balance between encouraging the parts of your writing that are strong and giving constructive criticism on the parts tha...

This is my second time working with Miriam, and as usual, her insight and edits are worth every penny. She's professional, thorough, and has an incredible eye for detail. If you're still on the fence after reading that, then let me just say this: My manuscript has received multiple full requests. If that's why you're here, then hire Miriam. (You're welcome.)

Shenny responds quickly, communicates clearly, and kept me up to date on what was going on even when my input wasn't needed. I was originally just looking for a web page setup but opted for a full branding package as well, pretty much on a whim since it was within my budget, and I'm glad I did! The palette and look/vibe she came up with were exactly what I didn't know I was looking for (if you've ever spent hours on Pinterest looking for ideas without being able to actually pinpoint anything,...

Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

I loved working with Margarita! She was fast, responsive, enthusiastic, and created amazing cover art. It was perfect. I will definitely use her again!

Sophie was an absolute joy to work with. She was very adept at seeing where my story could be clearer and what was working and what wasn't. I really enjoyed refining my writing by using Sophie's suggestions. She was able to see some traps I had fallen into through using basic language and where the storyline and plot could make more sense. I would definitely use Sophie again, she is kind, professional and thorough.

Working with Krista was an amazing experience. I searched different sites and received several different quotes that I wasn't really eager to accept, until I came across Krista's profile and saw that she edited a book that I've recently read. As soon as I saw that, I knew she would be the perfect fit for my book. Receiving her offer was the icing on the cake. Everything that she offered was delivered and I am so very grateful. The process was very smooth and she provided feedback that has hel...

This was my first experience working with an editor. Until then, writing had always been a private pursuit, something I did quietly, for myself. After a few self-publishing efforts, I finally had a project I believed in deeply, one I hoped could reach a much wider audience. Kara’s feedback was so detailed and thorough that it felt like someone had flipped a light switch. Suddenly, I saw my work with fresh eyes. She didn’t just understand my voice and vision. She tuned into the places I had t...

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

This was a wonderful experience. I wasn't sure if an editorial assessment would be "worth" it when I originally got it. I still am considering traditionally publishing after all. But this is exactly what my book needed, it feels like a doctor came through and pointed to all the possible weak points. It solved some issues I didn't even realize I had. She was easy to ask questions to, and the hour call at the end brought everything together.

Working with Rannia was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brought both creative sensitivity and technical precision to the design of Unchosen, translating a concept-driven manuscript into a cohesive visual identity across cover and interior. Her communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. She handled revisions thoughtfully, incorporated feedback carefully, and navigated the technical complexities of KDP formatting with confidence and expertise....

Travis is worth his weight in gold. He did an excellent job. He put himself close to our project treating as if it were his own. As important he revised the content with the target reader in mind. We gave him a manuscript of 69,000 words he went through it thoroughly and condensed it down to the very best to rebuild with. He gave us the exact guidance we needed to move forward. He was fair in his critique, professional and delivered on time. He was the perfect find for our project we highly r...
