Dora could not have been better. Aside from being timely and thoughtful, her work captured not only the essence of the story but how I envisioned it. Absolutely first rate.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

I am incredibly grateful to Dave for his deep involvement in the creative process; it is truly the best experience an emerging author could hope for. All his feedback was given in an exceptionally respectful and constructive manner. He highlighted the manuscript’s strengths, which was vital for maintaining motivation during the early stages. Dave wasn't intimidated by the complexity of a multi-layered, hybrid-genre story. He didn't try to simplify the narrative or force it to appeal to a mas...

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 ...

My first experience working with an editor. Emily was great. Everything suggested made sense. Very knowledgeable, detailed, and I was amazed that she was well ahead of schedule. Nothing but good things to say.

Elizabeth was Incredibly efficient and diligent in her work. Not only this, but she also responded whenever I had a request. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough and will be using her again for my next book.

Dr. Willoughby is both competent and courteous. We had good communication in the process and his editing notes were clear and insightful.

Working with Martin was one of the most valuable parts of the entire writing process. He delivered a thorough, exacting copy edit of a 77,000-word nonfiction economics manuscript and went considerably beyond the scope of what I contracted for. His notes were direct, honest, and at times bracing in the best way possible. He told me exactly what a paying audience would make of the work, which is precisely what you need at this stage and rarely get. What stood out most was his willingness to en...

Working with Charles has been a meaningful part of my writing journey. He is much more than an editor—he genuinely cares about the people he works with and invests in them as writers. Throughout the process, Charles offered thoughtful recommendations, encouragement, and resources that challenged me to grow. Rather than simply correcting a manuscript, he helped me think more intentionally about storytelling, craft, and how to strengthen my writing. His feedback has given me tools I’ll continu...

Holly provided a developmental edit on my 68,000-word memoir. She delivered a thorough editorial letter plus over 100 inline comments, but what impressed me most was how deeply she engaged with the material. She didn't just fix things, she helped me understand what the book was actually about. Her structural feedback was specific and actionable: where to open, what to move, which characters needed more presence. She identified tense inconsistencies I'd been blind to and gave me grammar lesso...

Working with Joe has been an outstanding experience. His deep understanding of the full writing and editing process, combined with his responsiveness and thoughtful problem‑solving, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. He’s easy to collaborate with and consistently added value at every step. I highly recommend connecting with him to discuss your book project. Thank you, Joe, for all your hard work — it truly made a difference. Martin

As always, Natalia is a pleasure to work with! This is my second project with her and she did not disappoint. From the creative process to her understanding to what I was looking for was stellar. If you're looking for a designer who cares about your work and will know what you're looking for, you've found her! She is definitely my cover designer for the foreseeable future!

Jamie provided me with valuable feedback on my first draft, I hired her again to review my second draft. With Jamie’s guidance my memoir has more depth to it than I had originally planned for. She identified my blind spots which took my writing in another direction, in a good way.

Vicky was insightful, active, and professional, delivering a very thorough plan that I could use to promote my book. She also answered any questions that I had, both throughout the process and after I received my marketing plan. I would absolutely recommend her!

Robin is a wildly talented copyeditor. The level of detail and care in her work was outstanding and I could tell she really put a lot of time and effort into the edits. She did an amazing job at keeping my voice in the writing, even giving character-specific suggestions for edits, while still making sure it flowed well. Going through the edits felt like I was seeing my book go from being a manuscript to a novel. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again.
