This is my first time seeking professional editing and writing. Working with Dylan has been fantastic. His edits are comprehensive and have significantly increased my confidence in my writing and manuscript. He has unparalleled responsiveness, attention to detail, and care. I fully intend to work with him on my additional future manuscripts.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Charlie on the cover for my fantasy book. Not only is he a skilled professional, he's also a warm, friendly person to work with. As part of his process, he first read the full manuscript, allowing him to gain a thorough understanding of the characters, story, and world. As such, he was able to execute a masterful design that portrayed everything I had dreamed of and more. The result, ironically, put me at a loss of words. Furthermore, in the final phas...

Heather is truly a manuscript Goddess. She's been elevating novels for a long time and it shows in her work. Her natural insight for character development and story trajectory is on point. She provides a chapter by chapter analysis that you can use as a guide to your manuscript. It was extremely helpful to know exactly which chapters heighten the novel and what's missing/needed from other chapters. My manuscript will take a huge leap forward because of her talent and grace. Thank you to Reeds...

Where can I start, Eleanor is great and she really knows her stuff. She's friendly professional and full of helpful ideas. Our sessions were on zoom but she also provides workbooks and other materials ahead of each meeting, so that you can work through them at your own pace. I learned a huge amount that I will be able to take with me into my next project. Marketing is a maze and Eleanor gives you the skills to navigate around it. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone

Working with Barry has been nothing short of extraordinary. He took my vision for a medical political thriller and brought it to life with skill, precision, and creativity. His ability to capture complex medical concepts while weaving them seamlessly into a gripping narrative was remarkable. Barry not only understood the technical side of the story but also elevated the suspense and emotional depth, creating a book that is both authentic and page-turning. Beyond his talent as a writer, Barry...

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. She completed the work on time (actually, ahead of schedule!) and in a professional manner. She did a thorough check of all the (many) historical, geographic, and linguistic references that I made and suggested numerous corrections. Her recommended edits aided me in smoothing out my work, making it less repetitive, and making it more cohesive overall. Once she provided me with the file that she proofread, she remained very responsive and happily answer...

Working with Lynn was a dream come true. My budget was minimal, yet Lynn was extremely gracious in working within it. It was one of the biggest blessings I’ve experienced on this project. Her kindness and thoughtfulness throughout our collaboration time speak volumes of the wonderful person she is. Not only was she very responsive, she also provided several options for me at various stages. The book cover she created truly exceeded my expectations and is gorgeous. Thank you, Lynn!

Bo is very efficient. He turns complex financial jargons into easy to understand language, creating coherent story flow without compromising compliance. I am a new author and Bo helped me navigate the process. Thank you.

I handed Daniel a manuscript and a whole lot of nervous energy. He handed back a beautifully formatted book — and, more importantly, a sense of calm I didn't expect. From day one, he provided FAQs and clear guidance that made the process transparent and approachable. His responsiveness and genuine support throughout the project turned what could have been a stressful first self-publishing experience into something I actually enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Rachel absolutely nailed everything! She was extremely communicative, very friendly, and overall just so fun to work with. The cover art she delivered was incredible and feels as if it were just plucked from my head. I literally could not be happier with it. I cannot wait to work with her again on the rest of this series! I highly recommend Rachel for her cover art, you'd be making a wonderful choice to add her to your book team.

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.

My choice of Melissa for my Developmental Editor could not have been more perfect for my debut novel! I am so impressed by her ability to understand the concept of the story but to also "hear" my voice and then apply what she understands to the editing. I am totally in line with her suggestions and am having a good time expanding the story to include them. I think it will be a much better "read" with these revisions. She has been a tremendous asset to my project and I look forward to the poss...

Absolutely Outstanding! Jonas Brought My Vision to Life and Then Some Working with Jonas on the cover design and typography for my debut book was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with, incredibly patient, and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. As a first-time author, I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but no clue how to make it happen—Jonas not only translated my ideas into a stunning design, but elevated them beyond what I ever i...

Having worked with Clelia on two books, I can say with confidence that choosing her as my editor was the right decision. She has an exceptional eye for detail—catching everything from small inconsistencies to bigger issues of flow and clarity—and always ensures that the reader receives my message exactly as I intended. Beyond her technical skill, Clelia is reliable, always meeting deadlines, and a pleasure to collaborate with. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any writer looking for a sharp, ...

Kate goes above and beyond on all collaborations. I've worked with her twice now. The editorial review she gave me amazing insights into how I could improve not just my current manuscript but my overall writing. Suggestions are always helpful with reasons given. The line/copy edit collaboration has helped me to improve tone and style, stop repetition and fix everything from grammar to insights into character, making my progression fantasy seem more real. Kate sprinkles support and helpful ...
