This is my second time working with Jennifer. An amazing experience once again. Totally thorough, totally professional and most of all, 100% respectful. She cares about stories and she has the ability to point out things an author might miss. She communicated with me in such away that made me feel like an author, not a client. An invaluable investment 👌

Elayne is a wonder to work with. She took the dreaded synopsis project and made the revision process feel easy. Her analysis was thoughtful and precise. She asked insightful questions that helped clarify what truly needed to be included (and what didn’t) to tell the story effectively in such a limited space. Her line edits were masterful. And what's more, I also working on a tight timeline, and she delivered everything ahead of schedule. An absolute pleasure. Thank you, Elayne!

Ben Galley is an example of an author who deserves the spotlight. He us very thoughtful, answers questions no matter how dumb they might be, and provides insight and clarity into how you can improve. I've loved every minute of my time working with him and hope to see him excel in all things. Highly recommend!

Working with Hannah has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, thorough, and deeply invested in both the story and my growth as a writer. Her editorial letter was incredibly insightful and pushed me in all the right ways. She has a rare ability to see the heart of a story, identify what’s already working, and then clearly articulate how to strengthen it without ever making you feel discouraged or overwhelmed. Her line edits were de...

Working with Kristin has been one of the most transformative experiences of my writing life. She approaches editing with both surgical precision and deep empathy for the work, balancing line-level craft with an extraordinary birds-eye view of the manuscript as a whole. Her editorial assessment didn’t just mark places to tighten or expand—it revealed the architecture of my collection in a way I hadn’t fully seen myself. She highlighted thematic arcs, tonal consistencies, and structural streng...

Lee was a pleasure to work with and did an incredible job on my book. This wasn’t a straightforward project… it’s a book-style journal with a lot of moving parts, interactive elements, and a very specific vision I wanted to bring to life. Somehow, he managed to pull it all together seamlessly. The formatting, layout, and illustrations are spot on, and he made the whole thing flow in a way that looks effortless. On top of that, the cover design nailed the vision I had in my head. I came into...

I can't recommend Sam highly enough. His editorial assessment of my thriller was everything I needed - thorough, insightful, and delivered with the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. Sam treated me as a fellow writer rather than just a client. He gave me confidence in the strengths of my manuscript while fearlessly challenging the structural issues that needed addressing. His critique of the ending has definitely given me work to do, but he was absolutely right to pick up on it,...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.

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...

Lauren is excellent to work with and timely in her responses. Her knowledge and insight are invaluable and well-appreciated. She provided me with clear and direct feedback that has helped me shape my story better. I look forward to continuing to work with Lauren in the future. Thank you!!

Svitlana is an extraordinary cover artist and designer. She understood the heart of my book from the very beginning and translated it into visuals that felt powerful, intentional, and deeply aligned with my story. Her communication was clear, her process was thoughtful, and her talent is undeniable. I felt supported, seen, and creatively understood every step of the way. I’m genuinely grateful for her work and would trust her with any future project.

Working with Dan was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was fast, communicative and clear in his feedback. He was open to meetings and easy to collaborate with. What stood out most was his attention to detail and deep knowledge of the genre. He caught niche science fiction specific details that a general editor would have missed entirely, which made all the difference for this manuscript. His notes were thorough and thoughtful. He always explained the reasoning behind each sugge...

Tee is so thorough and kind in her feedback to writers. I felt like she valued my project as much as I did and gave excellent feedback for improving and making it stronger. It was a real joy to collaborate with her and I will definitely be hiring her again!

This is the fifth project I've worked with Victoria on and she's just wonderful. I really enjoy working with her. She's professional, helpful, timely, and fun to work with. Her feedback is valuable and well thought out. I highly recommend her!
