I wanted a cover that depicted a specific scene from my science fiction novel, like an old mass market paperback. I knew a generic cover wouldn't cut it. I needed an artist, not just a designer. And with Alex, I got an artist. I sent him descriptions of the "shot", the characters, the setting. So much detail I was worried about information overload. Alex calmly took it all in, sorted it out, thought about it for a while, sent some sketches, we talked, he sent some more. And after a little mor...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

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.

Kateryna and I have just begun our project but she is a great fit and I am thrilled to have her be my illustrator!!!

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...

Working with Charlie on the design of my book has been such a great experience. He really understood the feeling and identity I wanted the book to have and helped turn it into something polished, beautiful, and cohesive. He has a very strong eye for detail, and throughout the process he was thoughtful, patient, receptive to feedback, and genuinely committed to getting everything right. I especially appreciated how carefully he considered the overall look and feel of the book, making sure the...

I approached Mrs. Ridley with a completed manuscript with no idea what to do with it. She took me by the hand and guided me through the whole process. Her professional editing and publishing know-how brought my dream to fruition. I am now a published author with books available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other platforms. I never considered myself an author until I saw the sales. I owe it all to Mrs. Ridley. And just so you know, I'm not done with her. I'm working on a second manusc...

Jaime was great! She is easy to work with and responds quickly. She made sure to follow up with me ahead of the date the work was supposed to start to see if I had any questions and confirm the timeline. Her edits are thoughtful and professional. She truly wants to see her client's books succeed and even took the time to review my book blurb and second epilogue, which I didn't finish until later on. I would definitely recommend her as an editor.

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...

Savannah was professional, very communicative, efficient and understanding. It was clear she read my manuscript thoroughly and carefully. Her report was brimming with great suggestions and examples of modifications it would be well to make. She was kind, first telling me what worked and thoughtfully even giving me a plan on how to procede. Great value! Great experience! Will use her again.

Consistently beautiful layouts and total professionalism.Trusting someone with the layout of your book for the third time is an easy choice when they are as talented as Steve. He handles everything from chapter headings to drop caps with incredible precision and care, ensuring a perfect reading experience. Steve is communicative, efficient, and consistently raises the production value of our work. Thank you, Steve, for helping us bring another beautiful book to life!

Working with Simone R. was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. He was flexible throughout the process, accommodating my ideas while also offering helpful input where needed. Communication was clear, and he made adjustments without hesitation to ensure the final design matched exactly what I had in mind. Most importantly, he delivered a cover that aligned with my vision and felt true to the message of the book. That balance between listening and executing is not easy to...

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...

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!

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...
