Daniel was collaborative, professional and communicated wonderfully during the entire process. His illustration work went well above my expectations as I wasn't sure what to expect being this was my first time. I highly recommend his work and was beautiful to see how your characters come to life. I would work with Daniel again, no questions asked. I will definitely be back.

Allison proofread my debut novel — a prose-poetry manuscript with unconventional formatting, intentional line breaks, and rhythm that mattered as much as grammar. That's a hard brief for any proofreader: correct the real errors without flattening the style. She got the distinction immediately. Her markup was meticulous (165 items, every one clearly anchored and explained), she separated mechanical fixes from judgment calls so I stayed in control of the voice, and she flagged patterns rather t...

Chiara was great and listened to what I wanted. She was responsive and finished work on time. I enjoyed working with her!

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Working with Michael has been an incredible experience from start to finish. His editorial insight is sharp, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to both the heart of the story and the clarity of the writing. He has a rare ability to elevate ideas without ever overshadowing the author’s voice, and his feedback consistently brings out the strongest, most polished version of the work. What I appreciate most is his balance of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. He celebrates the wins, guides the ...

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. It was great to bounce ideas off her and she constantly made me reassess what I’d written with thought provoking questions and pertinent comments. I look forward to working with her again on my follow up novel. Thank you Michelle for everything!

Working with Grace has been one of the best decisions I've made for my manuscript and for myself as a writer. She is both sharp and genuinely enthusiastic for the work. She caught things I hadn't seen, but just as importantly, she confirmed things I felt but was unsure about. That second part matters more than I expected. Having her reflect my own instincts back with confidence has pushed me to be a better writer. Beyond the editorial work itself, working with Grace feels easy. Professional,...

Working with Megan has been an absolute gift. She is not only incredibly kind but also deeply thoughtful in her approach. Every piece of feedback she gave was detailed, well-structured, and so clearly rooted in genuine care for both the story and me as a first-time author. She didn’t just edit my manuscript—she guided me through the publishing process with patience, encouragement, and wisdom. I felt supported every step of the way, and it truly made this journey less overwhelming and more exc...

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!

Working with Zennor has been one of the most important parts of my memoir journey so far. I came to her with a very personal manuscript containing themes of adoption, grief, addiction, motherhood, and belonging, and she held both me and the work with exceptional care. Her feedback was insightful, encouraging, and incredibly perceptive. She helped me see where the story needed to slow down, where important moments deserved more space, and where the deeper threads of the book were waiting to b...

Kristin is an amazing editor who made the process a lot easier and did a great job helping me. As a first time author, where I thought this was only ever a pipe dream, it was nerve wracking handing someone basically my heart on a page. She was very compassionate and supportive, but honest and critical in the best way. She has an impeccable understanding of poetry and how to best get your point across to the reader. Always responds to emails promptly and asks important questions that make you ...

Joan's work is impeccable. She is professional, kind and to the point. I have worked with other professionals who do a thorough job on the first fifty pages. Joan does not lower her standards at any point. My manuscript has benefitted hugely from her work, and I can not thank her enough.

I am totally delighted with Ed and how he has improved my entire project. Not only does he pay meticulous attention to every detail, every comma, every capital letter, but he also combines it with the higher-level view of the story style and construction. A wee side note from Ed saying "laughed at this" or similar comments makes the whole process so fun. I was excited to read each of his notes to find the ones that showed we were reading this together. I feel I was lucky to find Ed.

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 ...
