I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to a developmental editor felt incredibly daunting, but Lucy made the whole experience enjoyable, supportive and inspiring. From the very beginning, she understood exactly where I wanted to take my book and helped me get there. She never tried to change my voice or make the book sound like someone else. Instead, she enhanced it, helping me express my ideas more clearly while keeping it authentically me....

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

An excellent job as always. Anybody can be a graphic designer. Even I managed it to a reasonable standard. To be a book cover designer however is something entirely different, and Megan just 'gets' what my books are about. The covers achieve that difficult job of standing out, yet looking at home amongst other books of their type. The proof of the pudding is other writers seeing my book covers and passing compliments about how good they are.

Bryn was a joy to work with, professional, smart, insightful and very experienced. She helped push my project to the next level. And I look forward to working with her again. Five Stars!

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Rachel absolutely nailed everything! She was extremely communicative, very friendly, and overall just so fun to work with. The cover art she delivered was incredible and feels as if it were just plucked from my head. I literally could not be happier with it. I cannot wait to work with her again on the rest of this series! I highly recommend Rachel for her cover art, you'd be making a wonderful choice to add her to your book team.

I spent a lot of time choosing a designer and I was STILL incredibly impressed. Baris is highly professional and talented and I will be asking him to design more of my covers in the future!

Working with Allan was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I came to him with a vision, a lot of ideas, and a manuscript that meant a great deal to me. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and then took it in a creative direction beyond my expectations. He didn't just design the interior of Design Schooled - he elevated it. Allan is exceptionally talented, responsive, and always delivered on time. Throughout the process, I felt completely confident that my project was in...

Dora could not have been better. Aside from being timely and thoughtful, her work captured not only the essence of the story but how I envisioned it. Absolutely first rate.

I Couldn’t Have Done This Without Rennie! I am so thankful I found Rennie! As a first-time author living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), writing my first book was not an easy journey. I knew the story I wanted to tell, but getting my thoughts onto paper and making everything flow the way I imagined was a real challenge for me. Rennie took my manuscript and turned it into something I never could have imagined on my own. She brought a beautiful flow to my story, connecting my thoughts and ...

Joy was a "joy" to work with. She was professional, fast, thorough, and brought great insights to the project. She went above and beyond the scope of work. I highly recommend her.

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,...

Working with Donna on *The Sands of Time* was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. From the beginning, she was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly insightful. Her feedback was detailed, encouraging, and always respectful of my voice as an author. Donna has a remarkable ability to strengthen a story without changing what makes it unique. She challenged me to dig deeper, improve my writing, and make the manuscript the strongest it could be, all while making the editing pr...

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.
