Working with Shelley transformed my book - and, honestly, transformed how I think about the writing itself. What sets Shelley apart isn't just her editorial eye (which is razor-sharp); it's her ability to see what a book wants to be and to guide you there with clarity, honesty, and real craft. She gave me insights I simply couldn't have arrived at on my own: how to think about structure, how to understand what the reader actually needs, and how every piece has to earn its place if you want t...

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!

Izabela is amazing! She quickly understood my vision and delivered a beautiful, professional design that elevated the entire book. The cover is beautiful, the interior layout is clean and polished, and communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. I’m thrilled with the results and I would go to her for anything I need on future projects. Highly recommend working with her!

I really enjoyed working with Jonathan on my book. He was professional, responsive, and very attentive throughout the process. He made thoughtful corrections and suggestions, and I felt that my work was in good hands. I’m very grateful for his help and would happily recommend him to others!

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

Working with Holly and Agustin has been a genuine pleasure. When I asked to connect with both of them, I was met by two people who are deeply invested in the project, care about the details, and are always willing to help. Their dedication really shows. I'll absolutely be working with them again — and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Cheers!

I can’t say enough good things about Mozelle. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She is a consummate professional. The assignment was a difficult one: proofreading a 375-page memoir that intentionally breaks many traditional rules of punctuation and formatting in order to preserve the author’s voice and style. Mozelle paid extremely close attention to every detail. She understood the difference between something that needed correcting and something that was an intentional stylistic ...

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!

Savannah was professional, very communicative, efficient and understanding. It was clear she read my manuscript thoroughly and carefully. Her report was brimming with great suggestions and examples of modifications it would be well to make. She was kind, first telling me what worked and thoughtfully even giving me a plan on how to procede. Great value! Great experience! Will use her again.

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

Patricia is a wonderful translator and individual; I truly enjoy collaborating with her, and for sure I will work with her again

Working with Kelly was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I had already run my manuscript through multiple editing programs and thought it was in pretty good shape, but Kelly still found countless errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement that I had completely missed. The book read and flowed so much better after her improvements. What impressed me most was how meticulous and thorough she was throughout the entire process. Not only did she carefully edit the manu...

I had the pleasure of working with Luca on both my book cover and interior design for my first book, and the experience exceeded expectations. As a first-time author, I needed someone with patient and knowledge to guide me through the design process, and Luca was exactly that. His communication was excellent throughout the engagement as he took the time to understand my visions, shared thoughtful feedback, and provided clear guidance every step of the way. Luca's technical expertise with fo...

This was a wonderful experience. I wasn't sure if an editorial assessment would be "worth" it when I originally got it. I still am considering traditionally publishing after all. But this is exactly what my book needed, it feels like a doctor came through and pointed to all the possible weak points. It solved some issues I didn't even realize I had. She was easy to ask questions to, and the hour call at the end brought everything together.

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...
