Lauren has been a pleasure to work with so far. Her feedback on my dev edit was thorough, thoughtful, and actionable. I appreciate how she identified areas of improvement on a granular level, as well as thematically, for me to work on as a writer. It is a pleasure to have Lauren edit my manuscript, providing guidance for me through her extensive knowledge. She's incredibly easy to communicate with, open, and supportive. I look forward to continuing to work with her on this project and future ...

Working with Cynthia has been one of the most rewarding parts of my writing journey. She brought clarity, precision, and genuine insight to every stage of the edit. Her developmental feedback strengthened the structure and emotional core of my story, and her line edits elevated the prose in ways I could feel immediately. She has an incredible gift for seeing both the big-picture narrative and the fine-grained details that make a scene sing. What impressed me most was her ability to understan...

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

I knew after working with Lucia on my first manuscript, I would want to hire her for my second novel. Lucia is incredible at her job. Her communication is clear, the edits she provided were thorough, and I can say with 100% certainty that my book wouldn't be polished and ready for publication without her.

Mozelle was able to take my ramblings and give me the insight and ideas I needed to create a coherent story. Her work was well beyond my expectations. The developmental edit was amazing. She was prompt and responsive to all my needs and everything was done in a timely fashion. Her thoughtfulness was evident in each correspondence/interaction we had. I will continue to utilize her services in my future works and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful editor.

Kelly Carter was absolutely amazing to work with on both the cover and interior design of my book. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her artistic talent is exceptional, and she brought my vision to life beautifully. She was always easy to communicate with and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I am very thankful for her hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional des...

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

Working with Abbie Greaes has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re serious about elevating your manuscript — not just polishing it, but truly levelling up as a writer — Abbie is an exceptional partner in that process. Her editorial report and in-line manuscript notes didn’t just highlight areas for improvement — they fundamentally shifted how I think about story, character, and craft. The depth of her insight is extraordinary, but what truly sets Abbie apart is how she delivers it...

Working with Donna on *The Sands of Time* was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. From the beginning, she was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly insightful. Her feedback was detailed, encouraging, and always respectful of my voice as an author. Donna has a remarkable ability to strengthen a story without changing what makes it unique. She challenged me to dig deeper, improve my writing, and make the manuscript the strongest it could be, all while making the editing pr...

James proofread my 63,000-word nonfiction book, and the work was exactly what a final proofread should be. He returned clean tracked changes — over 750 corrections — plus nearly a hundred margin comments where a decision was mine to make, each one clearly explained. He caught things well beyond typos: an appendix citation that didn't match what the chapter actually said, a sentence that quietly contradicted the book's timeline, and consistency slips I'd read past a dozen times. Just as impor...

Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He approached my manuscript with balance of technical precision and genuine care for the story being told. What stood out most was his ability to engage deeply with the intent of the work, not just the mechanics. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and respectful. Michael’s communication was clear, encouraging and professional throughout the process. He didn’t just edit the book, he collaborated with it. As...

Tom has helped me immensely with writing my fantasy novel. Were it not for him, I'd have taken much more time to get where I am today in the process, and with a lot more difficulty. He's a great guy and very professional, couldn't recommend him enough.

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Debbie is amazing. After working with her, I now feel confident I can present my manuscript to a literary agent or publisher. She worked hard, clearly showing me how mistakes could be rectified and giving praise where it was due. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone seeking a developmental editor. You will learn a lot. She is personable and very easy to work with. At no time did I feel pressured, and she understood my current eye problems while I await surgery. Do not hesitate to work ...
