Working with Shelley transformed my book - and, honestly, transformed how I think about the writing itself. What sets Shelley apart isn't just her editorial eye (which is razor-sharp); it's her ability to see what a book wants to be and to guide you there with clarity, honesty, and real craft. She gave me insights I simply couldn't have arrived at on my own: how to think about structure, how to understand what the reader actually needs, and how every piece has to earn its place if you want t...

I hired Bonnie for both copy editing and interior book design for my nonfiction book, Stop Stealing From Yourself, and I'm glad I found someone who does both well. Bonnie was timely, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. She answered my questions clearly and never made me feel like I was asking too much. What stood out most was her willingness to accommodate small changes even toward the end of our contract — that kind of flexibility matters when you're finalizing ...

Peter was exceptionally timely, artful in execution, and continually communicative. He treats your project with the care and intuition it deserves. Simply put, if you want high-caliber work crafted with excellence, you should hire Peter.

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...

Laurel's developmental edit was one of the most insightful and valuable pieces of feedback I've ever received on my writing. She didn't simply identify strengths and weaknesses. She understood the heart of the story I was trying to tell, and with greater clarity than I had myself. Her editorial report was thoughtful, perceptive, and remarkably precise. She pinpointed exactly where the manuscript could be strengthened while preserving everything that made it unique. Every recommendation felt ...

Julia was thorough and professional, and provided a range of customised options that delivered on the brief. I was soon able to pick a direction and final design output that was perfect for my book, and Julia was engaged and responsive for the entire process. Thanks for making my book come to life!

Kelly was a dream come true. Professional, thorough, and thoughtful. She made my voice stronger and clearer, and I also learned a lot working with her. Hiring a stranger feels like a bit of a gamble, but Kelly was a win and exceeded every expectation. I’m impressed by her effort and care and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

Passionate, professional and detailed work. A great translator to work with.

Auriane was outstanding!! She gave me great and timely feedback - both positive and constructive - and many new ideas to consider. I think my story is much stronger as a result of getting her edits. I definitely will work with her again on my next book.

Jennifer provided incredibly helpful feedback, which was a pleasure to read. It felt like a good friend was talking to me. She engaged deeply and thoughtfully with the manuscript, and it really showed. I greatly appreciated her intelligent and insightful suggestions at every scene and beat she saw room for improvement, and her suggestions were clear, providing several "ah-ha" moments for me. I came away with a clearer sense of what the book is doing well, what to focus on next, and how to pos...

Jain provided me with guidance that I consider incredible. The notes and comments made throughout the text were clear and concise, enabling me to interpret and implement the suggested changes. She helped me rearrange my manuscript to read in a smooth, orderly manner. It is now a pleasure to read. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. If I write another book, I will look for Jain.

Working with Alana was nothing short of Amazing. This was my first book project, and Alana was patient and kind. She accepted all feedback and suggestions and quickly answered my questions. I was very satisfied with the final product. I would 100% recommend collaborating with Alana on your next project.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...
