Christie's feedback was concise, clear, and invaluable. I'm working on a rhyming book, and I couldn't have completed this to a high standard without her advice on metre and rhythm. She also advised on vocabulary, and while she made some suggestions for rewording, she helped me keep my own voice and style throughout. I can't thank Christie enough and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

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.

I worked with V on a query package consultation. At the time, I had thirty rejections and one full request. The very first reply after I integrated V's feedback was a full request from a dream agent—someone I never thought I'd even have a chance with. The pricing was extremely reasonable (if anything, I expected to pay more) for everything I got out of it. If I don't get agented on this manuscript, I intend to hire V before I send out a single query on my next project. Cannot recommend them h...

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.

Jay Antani is an exceptional developmental editor. His feedback is insightful, clear, and consistently elevates the work without ever overshadowing the author’s voice. He has a rare ability to identify both the emotional heart of a scene and the structural choices that make it stronger. Jay’s guidance pushed my novel to a higher level, and I’m grateful for the care and intelligence he brought to every page.

Elizabeth was Incredibly efficient and diligent in her work. Not only this, but she also responded whenever I had a request. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough and will be using her again for my next book.

Working with Ken was such a great experience! As a first-time author, I had plenty of questions, ideas, and moments where I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, but he was patient, supportive, and professional throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was how open he was to feedback. We went through several iterations of the chapter design, and he never once made me feel bad about asking for changes. Instead, he worked with me until the design felt like the perfect fit for the book....

Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

I have been writing children’s books for going on six years now and have experienced a myriad of professionals who have helped me get my business off the ground. But working with Steve is the first time that I’ve experienced such a condensed world of talent and knowledge of the book industry in one person. In many ways, he provides one stop shopping for an author. Not only does he have enormous talent for creating whimsical illustrations that appeal to children, he is also a book designer...

I had an outstanding experience working with Maria Giovanna Brauzzi on my manuscript. From our earliest conversations, she was exceptionally responsive, thoughtful, and encouraging. In the first round of work, she helped me think carefully about how to move the manuscript forward, how to strengthen its shape and direction, and how best to approach possible publishers. Her advice was practical, insightful, and grounded in a clear understanding of both the manuscript and the publishing process....

Working with Raquel on the layout and design of my book, Unfinished Business, was an absolute pleasure! As a new author navigating the self-publishing process for the first time, I was looking for a designer who could offer both technical structure and high-level creativity. Raquel exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized and professional, making what could have been a daunting process feel seamless. My vision for the book included fun design elements and specific places for ...

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

Jennifer is my favorite, and she holds a special place in my heart (and author journey) because she is one of the first people who saw the potential in me and my writing! I worked with her several years ago on two children's books, and I told her that when I was ready, I'd bring her a novel worth her experience and time. This WIP is that novel! I am so elated and proud that she is my editor, and I can't wait to work with her again on my next project! She is extremely responsive (always has be...
