Danielle was wonderful to work with! Her edit letter and in-document comments were extremely thorough and helpful, and her feedback was delivered in such a kind, professional and gentle manner. Danielle's unbiased/neutral perspective was exactly what I needed to refine my manuscript. Thanks Danielle!

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, insight, and genuine care for my manuscript elevated the entire process. She approached my work with respect, clarity, and enthusiasm — offering thoughtful feedback that strengthened both the structure and the voice of my book. Amy’s communication was timely and encouraging, and her expertise made me feel confident every step of the way. I’m deeply grateful for her contribution and would recommend her to any author seeking a skil...

Truly exceptional experience. Miriam gave me insightful, thorough, actionable advice and renewed enthusiasm for a project I'd considered abandoning. This was very good value for the money and honestly one of the better professional investments I've made.

Working with Matthew was a terrific experience. He was communicative, professional, and deeply attentive to detail. I always felt he was invested in the success of my project, and he brought valuable knowledge from his background that helped him maintain sharp focus on the particulars of mine. Matthew caught tiny errors that had eluded me multiple times, offered suggestions for clarity with my audience in mind, and ensured everything aligned with my publisher’s expectations. He delivered ahea...

Val proofread my novel The Sovereign and caught way more than I expected. Not just typos and style sheet inconsistencies, but continuity and timeline issues I had stopped noticing. Her notes always gave me options instead of telling me what to do, so the book still sounds like me. Great experience, would hire her again.

I am quite early on in the process of writing my first book. Lots of ideas. A couple of chapters and an outline. Cat gave great advice both and structured feedback that immediately helped me develop the ‘fuzzy’ parts and strengthen the parts already created. She kept in touch throughout. I really enjoyed the experience and will be back in touch with her in the future - I just need to get writing!

Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

It is such a pleasure to write a review for Jennifer Stimson—because oh my goodness, she is EXCEPTIONAL! I was initially drawn to Jennifer because of her excellent reviews. Then, when I saw samples of her work and started to communicate with her, I knew I was in great hands! First and foremost, I’m impressed with her talent – her artistic choices; the stylistic elements she added to my pages; her page layouts and font choices that fit the theme of my book; the polish she added to the formatt...

Exceptional.

Working with Holly was an exceptional experience. This was my first book and my first time working with a professional editor, and I could not have asked for a better guide through the process. Holly treated my memoir with great care and respect while also being honest when she believed something could be stronger. Her comments were thoughtful and never felt like she was trying to rewrite my voice. Instead, she helped me better understand my own writing and why certain revisions would make th...

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!
