Working with Shannon was an absolute joy and worth every penny! She clearly spent so much time going through my draft, thinking about what could be improved and trying to understand what I was going for. At the point I started working with her, I was really struggling with my book. I felt passionate about it conceptually but it wasn't working and I was so lost. I gave her a too-short, very unfinished draft and she sent me back the most thoughtful editorial letter and edits. She was able to ...

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

Ty is incredible at identifying weak points in your manuscript and pinpointing what needs to be reworked. He is very responsive and friendly. The editorial letter for a developmental edit was 13 pages of insight and broken into next steps, which was helpful and reduced the feeling of being overwhelmed with information. The video call was immensely positive for clarifying points and troubleshooting possible changes, and the follow-up summary was priceless.

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Sian is exceptional. Working with her on the debut novel of my epic fantasy trilogy has been one of the best professional decisions I have made in this project. From the first sample edit, her work stood out for its combination of technical precision and respect for voice. She caught continuity errors I had missed across the full manuscript, taught me convention choices with a teacherly patience that never felt condescending, and preserved my authorial voice throughout. Every tracked change ...

Working with John has been an outstanding experience. He brings a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to the process. His insights strengthened my manuscript, and his communication made every step smooth and enjoyable. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services.

Writing a query letter was 10x harder for me that writing a book. I'm sure I didn't feel that way when I was writing my book, but on the other side of it, nailing a terrific query letter seemed to take me forever. I finally got it to a place where I was confident it was good, but not great. Something was missing, Jesse helped me take it over the top. He listened to what I felt was missing, asked questions to get further context, offered suggestions based on his experienced and helped explain ...

Such a positive experience working with Jonathan - highly recommend. Very easy to chat with and he had such thoughtful insights and suggestions. Would definitely work with again - thanks so much!

This was my second book working with Mozelle. She is fantastic. I am never in the dark. I always know what to expect with her because of her great communication. I have learned so much with her. She doesn't just send back files and leave you to figure out anything. Her explanations are extremely thorough, and I really feel good with each interaction. I will hire her every time if I am able.

Katie is a marketing pro! Data driven, clear guidance, incredibly helpful to self-publishing authors. Knowing how to well doesn't mean knowing how to sell well. That's a different discipline and, frankly, an art in itself. Katie provided the know-how that I was lacking. I have a clear vision, a clear plan, and confidence that I am not just shooting from the hip as it pertains to marketing my book. I loved her customized powerpoint as an actual deliverable. Well worth every penny I spent.

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Working with Luisa was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a first-time author, the publishing process felt overwhelming at times, but Luisa made it so much easier. She was incredibly clear, communicative, and supportive throughout every step of the project. From the beginning, Luisa took the time to truly understand my vision and the overall objective of my children's book. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped me make informed decisions with confidence. I...

5 Stars - Outstanding Line Editor Rob MacGregor is exceptional. Working with him on my hard science fiction novel transformed the manuscript in ways I hadn't anticipated. His line editing goes above and beyond - he caught critical continuity issues, timeline inconsistencies, and character development gaps that would have seriously weakened the book. When he identified structural concerns, his suggestions were clear roadmaps to solutions, not just critiques. What distinguishes Rob is how he...

I am delighted to share my experience working Eleanor as editor, whose professionalism, insight, and dedication made an extraordinary difference in bringing my manuscript to publication readiness. From the outset, their communication was clear, timely, and highly organized. Deadlines were consistently met, and I always felt confident that my work was in capable and committed hands. Their responsiveness and willingness to engage in thoughtful discussion ensured that every stage of the process ...

I initially reached out to Julie because of her experience with military history and religion—both critical aspects of my book—but was soon struck by her attention to detail across the breadth of my story’s concerns. I felt at once as though a fellow traveler had happened across my dig-site, understood what I was up to, and pitched in to help. One moment I’m brushing away dirt and debris from some bewildering artifact, extracting those pieces that might otherwise comprise the whole, and the n...
