I truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth. She understood the book. She identified many of the exact areas I had been uncertain about. She had read the entire manuscript closely and thoughtfully. As a beginner writer, I felt she did more than just edit the manuscript. She helped me see what was already working, what was missing, and what kind of book I really wanted to write. That is a tremendous insight that she gave me. She also provided a detailed letter to my specific questions about the...

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...

The experience has taught me how essential it is to have your work reviewed by a professional editor. I wish I had done this for previous projects. The insight Susan gave me awakened me and challenged me. It helped me develop as a writer. It was truly a blessing.

Mikola was wonderful to work with on my debut novel. As a French-Canadian writer working in my second language, I was a little nervous handing over my manuscript — but she took real care with it, cleaning up my English without ever losing my voice or my Quebecois flavor. She caught the little things a non-native speaker misses, and the book came back so much stronger, still completely mine. I'd recommend her to any writer, especially if English isn't your first language — she really gets it. ...

Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

Leslie was amazing from start to finish. She was the exact reason I was looking for an editor. I knew I had a great idea and put together a strong product, but her eyes on the project made it even better. She was able to see things in my writing that I was blind to and her suggestions were spot on to fit my writing style and the picture I was trying to frame. It did not feel like she was trying to fit me into her box, but editing in a way that made it fit me. This is my second book and this e...

This was the most incredible experience ever for me. Florin was extremely professional and also kind, his work exceeded my expectations while aligning perfectly with my vision. He went above and beyond with my many different requests, and created something truly special, unique and beautiful. I sent many different references and explanations, and his work was exactly what I wanted, but with creativity and skill I couldn’t have imagined myself. It was my first time commissioning an artist ...

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

John was great to work with.

Working with Joe has been an outstanding experience. His deep understanding of the full writing and editing process, combined with his responsiveness and thoughtful problem‑solving, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. He’s easy to collaborate with and consistently added value at every step. I highly recommend connecting with him to discuss your book project. Thank you, Joe, for all your hard work — it truly made a difference. Martin

Michelle did a fantastic job with my book in not only editing but teaching me a lot about citations and when and when not needed. She was very easy to communicate with and did a thorough job. I will definitely employ her again when I have the need for a sharp, and focused editor.

Working with Ellie has been an excellent experience. At the beginning, I thought I was simply hiring someone to build a website. As the project developed, I realized she was doing much more than that. She was helping transform my vision into reality. She took the time to understand what I was trying to build and brought professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care throughout the process. She helped shape the website and the digital presence surrounding my book, and I am extremely ...

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

Reece-Alexander was an absolute pleasure to work with. He immediately understood the heart of my project and the character behind it, which made all the difference. From the very start, it was clear he truly “got” what I was trying to bring to life. Not only is his work beautiful and thoughtful, but he also works incredibly fast without sacrificing quality. He brought my book cover to life in a way that feels authentic to the stories and the world of Chronicles of the Grim Reaper. I’m genuin...

Louise exceeded my expectations in every way. It has been a delight working with her and we have several more projects we are doing together. First, her design skills are excellent, everything was beautiful, achieved the communication objectives, and technically precise. Secondly, she is responsive and fast-open to suggestions-and offers ideas. I feel completely supported in this project and am very impressed with the finished project. On time, on budget, excellent quality.
