Jessica gave detailed insight that will greatly enhance my book. Her insights were thoughtful and actionable, with great tips and great places to reach for inspiration. She was great to work with and I'm excited to see the improvements her advice will bring to my book once I include them in my rewrite.

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!

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...

O. Marie was the consummate professional. She delivered immaculate work product in a timely manner. She was available to discuss our project as we needed and did multiple turns of the book. I was highly recommend her services.

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...

Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

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.

Working with Krista was an amazing experience. I searched different sites and received several different quotes that I wasn't really eager to accept, until I came across Krista's profile and saw that she edited a book that I've recently read. As soon as I saw that, I knew she would be the perfect fit for my book. Receiving her offer was the icing on the cake. Everything that she offered was delivered and I am so very grateful. The process was very smooth and she provided feedback that has hel...

Jennifer has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly prompt with her responses, and as a first‑time writer, that meant a lot to me. I was initially worried about feeling discouraged, but Jennifer approached my work with such professionalism and respect for where I am in my writing journey. Her feedback was, supportive, and genuinely helpful. She’s very easy to talk to, and offers ongoing communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her to any writer looking for an editor. Th...

I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Kristen. Not only has she championed my novel as if it were her own, she’s also gone above and beyond to ensure it’s in the best possible shape for publication. Her feedback has been super helpful, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again in the future :) I’d definitely recommend her to any author looking for someone who approaches their book with passion, care and professionalism.

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!

I felt quite fortunate to have Kristen as development editor for my story. She did a deep analysis of my manuscript and gave me detailed notes and suggestions regarding aspects of the text that were well done, as well as areas where additional clarification would be helpful to the reader. I found her work to be well thought out and our communications smooth and prompt. Her style is friendly and supportive making the process more pleasant than I expected. I also found that her own experience w...

Lynne is a fantastic writing coach. She is a natural teacher and honed in quickly on key issues with my draft novel and how to address them. Lynne's insight and advice is helping tremendously as I revise my draft--elevating my understanding of storytelling and my confidence. These are lessons I never learned in a creative writing course at university, but I wish I had. She provides such clarity that her suggestions seem natural and obvious afterwards--but the fact is, I never would have ar...

Working with Stephanie has been an incredibly positive experience. From the beginning, she was kind, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the needs of both my manuscript and me as a writer. She went above and beyond to offer guidance that was not only professional and insightful but also tailored to exactly what I needed — even when I wasn’t sure what that was myself. Stephanie created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and respectful, which was especially important to me given the persona...

Jennifer is a fantastic editor. She was super easy to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond when I needed extra support. She provided thoughtful feedback and was the first person to let me know when my character wouldn't behave a certain way! Sometimes, it felt like she knew my characters more than I did in the moment. I loved working with Jennifer and truly recommend her to anyone that is seeking out a book coach. This was one of the best experiences I've had working with a...
