I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy. Her developmental feedback was very detailed, thoughtful, and constructive. She has a real talent for identifying both what’s working in a story and where it can be strengthened, and she communicates her insights in a clear and encouraging way. She helped me see my work from a completely fresh perspective. Her suggestions felt both practical and inspiring, giving me a clear path forward while still respecting my voice as a writer. I’d highly r...

Working with Marian was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. No question ever felt too small, and she was always happy to explain things and offer guidance. She truly understood my vision and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. She never hesitated to make changes or adjustments and was so thoughtful and collaborative throughout the process. I always felt heard a...

It was a true pleasure collaborating with Lucy on the proofreading of my first spy thriller. She delivered outstanding work with meticulous attention to detail and went above and beyond her role—helping me troubleshoot issues with a program I wasn’t familiar with. Lucy was consistently available, responded promptly to my messages, and always met deadlines. Her professionalism, dedication, and commitment are beyond question. Thank you, Lucy, for your exceptional contribution.

Grace is amazing. I feel like anything else I follow up with will lessen this fact. She is quick. She is dependable. She's encouraging but also critical (in a fair way) and is easy to get a hold of. I will definitely be knocking on her door when my next project is ready.

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

I used David for a developmental edit, and the feedback he produced was fantastic. He identified numerous issues I was already aware of, but also highlighted others I hadn’t been able to spot myself. I knew my draft wasn’t where I wanted it to be, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. David summarised the problems brilliantly and provided a clear structure I can use to polish my manuscript to a professional level. His feedback was extensive, fair, and constructive, never nitpicking. I would strongly r...

Working with Chris has been an absolute game-changer for my book manuscript. He is incredibly detailed, offering thoughtful suggestions that sharpen and strengthen the work while always preserving my own voice. His ability to make points more succinct without losing meaning is outstanding. What stood out most is his patience and the genuine effort he puts in, treating the manuscript as if it were his own. Chris truly has your best interests at heart. He builds trust through relationship firs...

Alex was wonderful to work with. As a first-time author, I didn't know what I didn't know. Alex is an experienced book cover designer who delivered beautiful work and communicated promptly, expertly, and calmly at all times! His ability to talk me through the process was a value add, since he was knowledgeable about certain aspects of book creation that I didn't know about. I appreciate very much getting the chance to work with Alex and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Alice did a thorough job of proofreading my book. She answered all of my questions with clarity and in a timely manner. Her cost was reasonable, and I am satisfied with her professionalism. It was a pleasure working with her.

Working with Jeremy on The DAF Revolution: Making a Difference in Our Modern World was an excellent experience. He brought professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise that ensured the book was produced to the highest standard. Jeremy was responsive throughout the process, offered thoughtful guidance, and elevated the final product. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any author and fully intend to hire Jeremy again for future projects without hesitation.

Where do I even begin with Sean? As a first-time author, I walked into this process nervous and honestly a little lost — and I walked out with a finished book I'm beyond proud of, and what feels like a lifelong friend. Sean is AMAZING. And I don't throw that word around. From day one, he treated my book like it was his own. This wasn't just editing — he helped me restructure, rewrite, and rethink pieces of my memoir in ways that made it so much stronger, and he did it all while protecting my...

Alejandro is a dark fantasy ace. My book cover had two different versions before I decided to invest in his services, and I only regret not having done this earlier. I left the concept and art direction up to Alejandro, providing minimal input, and the outcome was incredible. The previous covers were performing at around 40% of click-through average, and the new cover is already at 120%. Prompt responses, quick turnaround, and, most importantly, a passion + talent combo that exceeded my expe...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

Christie's feedback was concise, clear, and invaluable. I'm working on a rhyming book, and I couldn't have completed this to a high standard without her advice on metre and rhythm. She also advised on vocabulary, and while she made some suggestions for rewording, she helped me keep my own voice and style throughout. I can't thank Christie enough and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

This is my second collaboration with Clint, and it was just as easy and seamless as the first time. He again surpassed my expectations and created something that far exceeded what I had imagined for the project. I look forward to working with him again in the spring, and hopefully for many additional projects to come.
