I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. I came to her with manuscripts for my children’s picture books, and her editorial input has been nothing short of brilliant. Every recommendation she made enhanced the story, sharpened the flow, and elevated the overall quality of the books in ways I couldn’t have achieved on my own. She has a real gift for understanding the heart of a story and helping it come through more clearly, while always respecting the author’s voice and vision. Working with h...

You won't find a more talented, professional, or more responsive illustrator than James. I gave James all 5 stars without hesitation because there wasn't one aspect of the project I didn't love. Like many of you that'll read this, my search for an illustrator was long and exhaustive. I looked locally and online, gathering samples and quotes from anyone I could. I eventually got in contact with James, and from day one could see his enthusiasm and experience not only through his previous work,...

If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

Jim just completed an editorial assessment of my first draft of my first book. He completed this ahead of schedule, and his feedback was positive, constructive, and invaluable. With our follow-up call, I now have a plan to take the manuscript to the next level, with his continued support. I look forward to further collaboration with Jim, and ultimately the successful completion of this book.

It's hard to imagine a better editor or a better editorial experience than I've had with Lisa. Her attention to every detail is phenomenal, and her thoughtful suggestions made for a better book in every way. Highly recommended!

I am thrilled about the collaboration I had with George Stevens. He designed the most beautiful cover for my debut book, The Long Way Here and the books layout and design are more amazing than I could have ever imagined. The book launched earlier this week and I've been receiving positive feedback about the book's look and feel. I'm am extremely pleased with the way the book turned out. I am so grateful for George's expertise and self-publishing knowledge. He was so easy to work with and extr...

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.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

Working with Ivy on my debut novel was an incredible experience. She was fast and responsive, but more importantly, she was deeply "in" the manuscript with me. Her attention to detail is extraordinary - she caught things I never would have spotted, and her feedback on everything from sentence flow to overall style was spot on. I consistently found myself thinking "that's absolutely right!" What really stood out was how intuitively she grasped my voice. Ivy didn’t just edit the book - I felt...

You cannot do better than Sara, so don't bother trying! I initially chose to work with her because she was the only editor who showed actual excitement for my project, and that was a choice well made. Sara is genuinely passionate about your story, your characters, and her work as an editor. She truly wants to see your story become the best it can be and strikes an excellent balance between encouraging the parts of your writing that are strong and giving constructive criticism on the parts tha...

Working with Tania was such a positive experience. Over the six months we worked together, she was incredibly personable and made me feel like she was invested not only in my novel, but in me as a writer. We had wonderful conversations that sometimes went beyond the manuscript itself, and she regularly recommended articles, podcasts, and other novels that helped me think more deeply about what I was writing and what I wanted the book to become. Her biggest contribution to my novel actually ca...

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...

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

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 ...
