Erin was the first professional editor I've worked with. Only started writing about 1 year ago, coming from a completely different long-term career, so had no experience and have had to crash course every angle of this whole writing thing. Erin met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional in every sense of the word, and I do work in another professional environment that isn't writing, so I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect when the word 'professional' is used. S...

Absolutely wonderful work! Book debuted as a best-seller in multiple categories, and Caitlin is 100% the reason.

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Megan created a cover that presents the suspense of my novel in a unique way, while also capturing a secret of the story. Megan is such a great communicator and I was never left wondering where we were in the project. I was proud to include her name as the designer of my cover in my published novel.

I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

James is a fantastic editor. He did a developmental edit of my first novel, helping me develop and build confidence in my writing skills. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and meticulous in his attention to the logic and resonance of every sentence, while also keeping me focused on the overarching structure and tone of the story. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to work with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I collaborated with Jo on a full manuscript edit, and I was very pleased with her approach and the result. The process was professional, well-organised, and collaborative, with a shared digital workspace that made tracking changes, discussing decisions, and giving feedback easy, fostering true partnership. As a first-time author, I appreciated her supportive experience. Her editorial judgment was consistently strong. She confidently identified sections that needed reworking for clarity, paci...

Working with Julia has been an invaluable experience. Julia provided a clear, insightful, and highly professional evaluation of my novel draft. Her feedback pinpointed the areas that needed development and offered practical guidance that strengthened the manuscript considerably. I was especially impressed by her ability to understand the story’s core and offer focused, actionable recommendations. I highly recommend her editorial services and look forward to working with her again.

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...

Angela did a phenomenal job editing my novel. Her notes were sharp, thoughtful, and consistently elevated the manuscript in ways that felt both intuitive and expertly guided. She has an exceptional grasp of voice, pacing, and clarity, and her suggestions around narrative consistency were exactly what the book needed. Her line edits were precise, her developmental comments insightful, and the whole experience showed me why she’s so highly regarded. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she bro...

Finding the right editor makes all the difference, and this is she! This collaboration was the best investment I could have made in my manuscript. She completed a line edit that included a one-hour video editorial consultation, as well as a review of my query letter and synopsis. The takeaways were immensely helpful. The inline comments in the manuscript provided such valuable insight through the eyes of a reader and a critic. Her feedback was objective while being highly attuned to the s...

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...

Angela is highly organized, flexible, and collaborative. She consistently meets deadlines and delivers high-quality work with professionalism and efficiency. I highly recommend her. Hire her!

Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...
