Working with Olga was a great experience from start to finish. She showed a high level of professionalism throughout the project. She understood the concept of the book very quickly and stayed aligned with it at every stage. This made the collaboration smooth and focused. Her attention to detail stood out. She challenged elements when needed, refined ideas with precision, and ensured the final output stayed consistent with the original vision. She was also very reliable and easy to work with...

If you are an author looking for a Spanish translator, look no further than Olga. I hired her to translate The Humility You Want and the World Needs, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. As an author, you want a translator who understands that the words on the page are only part of the work. Olga captured the voice, tone, and heart of the message and delivered it beautifully in Spanish. Her communication was timely and professional throughout the entire process, which ma...

Wesley delivered an exceptional book cover that surpassed all of my expectations. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a strong understanding of my vision and translated it into a design that is both visually striking and perfectly aligned with the tone of my book. His attention to detail, thoughtful layout choices, and artistic creativity truly set his work apart. Communication with Wesley was smooth and professional throughout the entire process. He provided valuable insights, offered ...

Abbie was such a pleasure to work with: thorough, communicative, prompt, and so kind. Her feedback was incredibly clear with some really astute observations and recommendations that absolutely have improved the quality of my manuscript. Her kind works and clear passion for the work definitely gave me a boost in confidence and made me excited to get stuck back into making the necessary tweaks. Her experience in the industry was incredibly valuable also, giving me fantastic advice that I had no...

Shenny responds quickly, communicates clearly, and kept me up to date on what was going on even when my input wasn't needed. I was originally just looking for a web page setup but opted for a full branding package as well, pretty much on a whim since it was within my budget, and I'm glad I did! The palette and look/vibe she came up with were exactly what I didn't know I was looking for (if you've ever spent hours on Pinterest looking for ideas without being able to actually pinpoint anything,...

I give Nina Roy the highest marks possible in all areas. She's simply amazing and I cannot say enough great things about her. Her work far exceeded my expectations- she praises what is good and takes the time and care to discuss what doesn't. Her suggestions about how to fix problem areas are of great help to me. Nina is so thorough and all her communqués just bubble with dedication to be of service too her client. I think she's a fabulous asset to my book and well worth the money that was re...

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

Shannon was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job with the developmental edits and copy edits for my debut novel. The style sheet was spot on, the developmental feedback was thorough and extremely helpful in identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, and her copy editing seemed to catch every one of my numerous grammatical mistakes. I've already booked my second book with her for later this year!

Ashley was fantastic to work with for my developmental edit! He was extremely helpful and professional, was prompt with returning messages and with completing his work. He provided great advice, clarification and outside-the-box ideas to help make my manuscript MUCH tighter and cleaner in the end. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

I loved working with Penelope; she was kind and easy to work with. She respected my writing style while making my manuscript as polished as it could be. She had insightful suggestions that many other readers had not picked up. Grateful to have worked with her and would definitely work with her again!

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

Jonathan Starke is an awesome find: very professional, experienced and encouraging the entire time. I feel like I'm in a giant learning curve and Jonathan was patient with me all the way through, even sharing in my humor over everything. His review and edits to my query letter were spot on, he condensed my draft while keeping my voice intact. This is a very talented, personable fellow who will not let you down, he will be my go-to contact as I continue my writing endeavors. This has been a st...

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...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

I hired Anne for a developmental edit on a memoir about my seven years working for a very famous person, which is to say a manuscript with lawyers attached to it. She read the whole thing and came back with the things I could not see from inside it. The main one: I had written a book about protecting someone. What I had actually written was a book about two people who were in it together and against most everyone else. Once she said that out loud, the structure reorganized around it. Anne ...
