Rennie was an outstanding copyeditor for my 70,000-word memoir. From the get-go, she impressed me. She responded to my quote request quickly with a deeply thoughtful reply that made clear she was genuinely interested in the project. Her communication throughout the project was excellent and she completed the work several days early. In addition to thorough copyediting of the manuscript, she pointed out a few key inconsistencies. The manuscript had gone through developmental edits, and I was u...

Katt is an extremely talented artist. I love the work he did for me and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next book.

Daniel was absolutely phenomenal! His attention to detail was extraordinary, and he went above and beyond to answer questions and deliver stellar edits. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and feel that he significantly elevated our manuscript. He is collaborative, upbeat, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and punctual. We would highly recommend working with Daniel!!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Alex on my book cover. The concept he developed really captured the vision I had for my novel. Alex was responsive to my feedback, and was patient as I found my way around the different publishing platforms (and hence the required formats for the cover). I am delighted with the final product. Thanks Alex!

As a first-time indie author, working with Tee was an absolute game-changer. Her feedback was instrumental in not only getting my manuscript on the right track but also in equipping me with guidance I can carry forward into future projects. She didn’t just provide editing notes, but she offered insights, tools, and explanations that deepened my understanding of the craft and the publishing process. Tee's keen eye for detail, supportive approach, and thorough understanding of industry standar...

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

Danielle was wonderful to work with! Her edit letter and in-document comments were extremely thorough and helpful, and her feedback was delivered in such a kind, professional and gentle manner. Danielle's unbiased/neutral perspective was exactly what I needed to refine my manuscript. Thanks Danielle!

This was my third time working with Eleanor, and it was the third book in a series. She remembered details from books one and two, and did an amazing job of making sure that the third book aligned with each. Her suggestions are always spot-on, and I appreciate her attention to detail. I would definitely work with her again!

Title: Exceptional designer and collaborator Working with Andy was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a first-time author navigating the design process, I had plenty of ideas but very little experience translating those ideas into an actual book cover. Andy was incredibly patient throughout the process. He took the time to listen, interpret my thinking, and guide me through the creative decisions without ever making the process feel overwhelming. What impressed me most was ...

Exceptional talent, impeccable professionalism, and a truly wonderful person to work with. Louise took my book from manuscript to masterpiece with remarkable attention to detail and artistic excellence. She consistently went above and beyond, delivering outstanding work on time while making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her creativity, dedication, and kindness made a lasting impression on me. Without hesitation, I can say that Louise exceeded every expectation. She is a rare gem ...

Andie didn’t just edit my book — she felt it. She approached Flight of a Dog’s Soul with both precision and heart, treating every line with the care of someone who truly understood what the story meant. Her feedback was thoughtful, her edits seamless, and her empathy rare. If you want an editor who makes your work better and honors its soul, hire Andie.

Kristen was phenomenal to work with. She helped guide me through the process and never complained when I would ask additional questions. I look forward to working with her again.

Chris is excellent to work with. He does great editing work, gave my book the direction it needed, and handed me a way forward with how to proceed from where we left off. With his insights into navigating literary and screen agents, publishing, screen rights, and anything else that might come up, we created a strong and exciting proposal document. Thanks again, Chris! I'm looking forward to working together in the future!

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...
