Mike did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. I had written a children's book for my son's first birthday and Mike truly captured everything I wanted in each illustration. He was very open to talking through illustrations and taking the time to understand exactly what I envisioned. I would 100% recommend Mike if you are looking for an illustrator.

Edward was a lovely person to work with! I felt that he was truly interested in my writing, and his helpful feedback, as well as passion for stories in general, really elevated my story. If anyone is looking for a dedicated and personable editor to work with, I'd highly recommend him!

I cannot thank David enough for his editing and ghost writing skills. I truly believe he turned my memoir into a cinematic masterpiece in such a short amount of time.

Maria was quick and responsive, and her notes, not just on BISACs but general formatting of copy on promotional material, was great! I'll definitely be working with her on future installments of my series.

She was very helpful, even gave me advice on my query letter. I highly recommend Melissa.

Working with Corbin has truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm and reassuring, which was great as someone who never imagined I’d be writing a book at this stage of life. Her feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and deeply constructive. She helped elevate the structure while honoring the heart and voice of my work. I will be continuing with her beyond the first round of edits and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any wri...

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

I can't say enough good things about Leila. She was insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. Her feedback helped clarify the story and strengthen its emotional core, especially through suggestions on the ending and the overall message. She was also very responsive, and her edits and notes were always constructive and easy to understand. Leila truly understood what I was trying to accomplish and helped elevate the story while still respecting my voice. I’m gr...

Anne took the rough draft of my first scholarly book manuscript and helped me ready it for submission. Because it is my first book and I am not an academic, I needed a lot of help with the references. Anne's knowledge and experience was invaluable. She helped me clarify technical points that required fine tuning and was exceptionally thorough with her editing. I accepted her proposed changes largely across the board because she had put much effort into trying to understand my novel posits an...

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy. Her developmental feedback was very detailed, thoughtful, and constructive. She has a real talent for identifying both what’s working in a story and where it can be strengthened, and she communicates her insights in a clear and encouraging way. She helped me see my work from a completely fresh perspective. Her suggestions felt both practical and inspiring, giving me a clear path forward while still respecting my voice as a writer. I’d highly r...

Working with David has been a wonderful experience. Not only did he listen to my ideas, he provided several renditions to choose from, allowing me to decide which direction I wanted to go with it. I will definitely be seeking his help with future projects.

Working with Rannia was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brought both creative sensitivity and technical precision to the design of Unchosen, translating a concept-driven manuscript into a cohesive visual identity across cover and interior. Her communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. She handled revisions thoughtfully, incorporated feedback carefully, and navigated the technical complexities of KDP formatting with confidence and expertise....

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

Robin made my book so much better I'm so glad I found Robin. From the beginning, I could tell she really got what I was trying to do with my story. She didn't just edit—she understood the heart of the work and helped me bring it out in ways I couldn't see on my own. Her feedback was honest and insightful without ever making me feel discouraged. She pointed out things that weren't working, but always with clear suggestions for how to fix them. And she caught so many little details I'd missed. ...
