I had an outstanding experience working with Maria Giovanna Brauzzi on my manuscript. From our earliest conversations, she was exceptionally responsive, thoughtful, and encouraging. In the first round of work, she helped me think carefully about how to move the manuscript forward, how to strengthen its shape and direction, and how best to approach possible publishers. Her advice was practical, insightful, and grounded in a clear understanding of both the manuscript and the publishing process....

Kristen was phenomenal to work with. She helped guide me through the process and never complained when I would ask additional questions. I look forward to working with her again.

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

I'm so glad I hired J to do a developmental edit on my debut novel. She's communicative, thorough, and enthusiastic. In addition to advising me on structural hiccups like incomplete transitions and underdeveloped plot points, she corrected some typos and grammatical errors that I'd overlooked. She also took the time to answer the questions I had about her editorial suggestions. I highly recommend working with her!

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

Mozelle was able to take my ramblings and give me the insight and ideas I needed to create a coherent story. Her work was well beyond my expectations. The developmental edit was amazing. She was prompt and responsive to all my needs and everything was done in a timely fashion. Her thoughtfulness was evident in each correspondence/interaction we had. I will continue to utilize her services in my future works and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful editor.

David is an incredibly talented and imaginative illustrator with a rare gift for bringing ideas to life. He took a concept that felt very difficult to visualize and transformed it into something truly special, far beyond what I had imagined. He immediately understood my vision and created illustrations full of energy, charm, and personality that elevated the entire story. His creativity helped turn the manuscript into a beautiful, engaging short chapter book. On top of his talent, David was ...

Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about my experience working with Felicity. Her services were extremely affordable and she was accessible and prompt. She was thorough yet astute and cut right to the chase with her feedback, identifying areas for improvement but also highlighting a lot of positives that gave me so much more confidence about going forward with my work. I felt like she really “got” my story and her observations and suggestions were all spot on and true to the voice a...

Shanika is an amazing editor!! She's bright and kind. Her editorial letter was incredibly helpful and paired with her comments on the manuscript itself helped me take my novel to the next level. I highly recommend her!

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...

Working with Grace has been one of the best decisions I've made for my manuscript and for myself as a writer. She is both sharp and genuinely enthusiastic for the work. She caught things I hadn't seen, but just as importantly, she confirmed things I felt but was unsure about. That second part matters more than I expected. Having her reflect my own instincts back with confidence has pushed me to be a better writer. Beyond the editorial work itself, working with Grace feels easy. Professional,...

Working with Daniel was a pleasure. His design was beautiful and captured exactly what I was hoping for. Whenever I asked for an edit to be made, he was responsive and happy to do it. When I had questions and needed clarification because this was my first book, he was there with both reassurance and confidence. He went above and beyond at the end of the project when I was very anxious about getting the book to print and made himself super available for last minute adjustments. I worked with b...

Working with Kelly was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I had already run my manuscript through multiple editing programs and thought it was in pretty good shape, but Kelly still found countless errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement that I had completely missed. The book read and flowed so much better after her improvements. What impressed me most was how meticulous and thorough she was throughout the entire process. Not only did she carefully edit the manu...
