Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...

India completed my line edit ahead of schedule, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work. In addition to the careful line-level editing I expected, she provided valuable commentary on the middle-grade voice and identified areas where I should consider making changes. Her observations were consistently insightful and right on target. I know the manuscript will be significantly stronger once I have incorporated her recommendations. India was thoughtful, thorough, and clearly unde...

I genuinely could not be happier with the work. From the very beginning, Nicolae completely understood the vision I had for my book and managed to bring it to life even better than I had imagined. Every illustration is incredibly detailed, atmospheric, and full of personality, and you can tell how much care and thought went into every piece. Beyond the quality of the artwork itself, he was an absolute pleasure to work with - kind, patient, professional, communicative, and genuinely invested ...

Working with Holly and Agustin has been a genuine pleasure. When I asked to connect with both of them, I was met by two people who are deeply invested in the project, care about the details, and are always willing to help. Their dedication really shows. I'll absolutely be working with them again — and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Cheers!

Beth handled the copyediting and proofreading of my book, The Chemically Castrated Generation — a dense, science-heavy medical title with a large number of embedded data infographics. From our first exchange through the final pass, she was professional, responsive, and consistently on time. Communication was easy and reliable, which matters enormously when you're working against a publication deadline. What set Beth apart was her genuine engagement with the material. This is a technical medi...

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 ...

I congratulate myself for hiring Lisa to write an editorial assessment of my self-help manuscript for fellow people with disabilities. My interaction with her were professional and warm. As part of her recommendations, she confirmed some of my instincts about what might have to be reworked, and some new aspects that I couldn't see for having been so close to my work for a long time, This helped me decide that teaming up with an editor who has more distance from it, and all the writing and pub...

I can't recommend Sam highly enough. His editorial assessment of my thriller was everything I needed - thorough, insightful, and delivered with the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. Sam treated me as a fellow writer rather than just a client. He gave me confidence in the strengths of my manuscript while fearlessly challenging the structural issues that needed addressing. His critique of the ending has definitely given me work to do, but he was absolutely right to pick up on it,...

Gary is an exceptional editor. He provided my copy edit at lightning speed, getting my novel back to me with professional, well-documented edits. Would highly recommend for any authors seeking a fast, well done, and affordable copy edit. Gary is the best.

I worked with James for about six months on a developmental edit and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. I'll note the extended duration was based on my delayed turnaround time for various elements. I found James to be incredibly responsive, and the process was considerably more collaborative than anticipated since I'm based in the U.S. and he's in the U.K. Without question, he made the work stronger - both with the large-scale structural elements as well as with small-scale language...

Deborah was incredible to work with! I am so impressed with the quality of her work, her thoroughness, her notes, and how easy it was to work with her. I have been so lost in this process, and she has been beyond patient, professional, kind, and extremely responsive. I can't say enough good things about her!! I just loved working with her!

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

Robert has done 13 cover projects for me and all of them have been above and beyond my expectations, but this last one with the book The Last Shadow of Eden Genuinely surprised me. Actually, I was blown away by the quality of all the samples offered. His grasp Of the book's thematic Arch was nothing short of brilliant. I cannot give a strong enough recommendation for Robert. He's the best.

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...
