Where beautiful
books
are made

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

As a debut author, my first editorial experience with Donna far exceeded my expectations. She delivered ample feedback that will serve to make the work stronger along with specific rationale as to why she would make such changes, yet was clear about the boundary between editorial direction and authorial decisions. I very much appreciated the time she took to walk me through the changes and willingness to discuss other considerations about the manuscripts I had sent to her for review. Any auth...

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...

Chris is excellent to work with. He does great editing work, gave my book the direction it needed, and handed me a way forward with how to proceed from where we left off. With his insights into navigating literary and screen agents, publishing, screen rights, and anything else that might come up, we created a strong and exciting proposal document. Thanks again, Chris! I'm looking forward to working together in the future!

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...

Jane is the ultimate professional. It started with our initial call where she got to know me and my goals and the set out clear expectations for where she could use her skills to help. Highly recommend her!

As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to someone else was a little intimidating. Within the first few pages of Bryn's comments, I knew I had chosen the right editor. She has a wonderful ability to point out areas that can be strengthened while also celebrating what is already working. Her feedback was thoughtful, encouraging, and incredibly insightful. She never made me feel like I needed to rewrite my story or change my voice. Instead, she helped me see where I could dig a litt...

Emma is a delight to work with. She was able to give great feedback on my draft, while also working with my own ideas of what I want moving forward with my series as a whole. Fantasy is tough to write with all the layers, but she was excited to discuss all those layers with me--not only as an editor, but also as a reader and what the reader would expect with certain tropes and expectations. I am more confident now than I ever was before. I cannot wait for her to read the finish product and h...

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...

Aimee was such a pleasure to work with! She was communicative and professional and made me feel comfortable with having my manuscript in her hands. I am very pleased with her services and will certainly be using her for any future projects I have.

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

Hannah is remarkably gifted in her creativity and ability to adapt to the genre in question. I've had no issues and only good experiences with Hannah. We were able to sort out our time differences (being on different sides of the globe) and align our busy schedules for meetings.

Sean Strain is a consummate professional. He communicates extremely well throughout the process—and leading up to our window of work. I engaged Sean for proofreading and what I got back was very thorough. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I was impressed with the things he found and corrected—things I would have missed. The overall quality of what I got back was excellent. His updates within the manuscript and included style guide were easy to implement. He also reformatted 60+ footnot...

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Charlie on the cover for my fantasy book. Not only is he a skilled professional, he's also a warm, friendly person to work with. As part of his process, he first read the full manuscript, allowing him to gain a thorough understanding of the characters, story, and world. As such, he was able to execute a masterful design that portrayed everything I had dreamed of and more. The result, ironically, put me at a loss of words. Furthermore, in the final phas...

Krista is hands-down the editor every author dreams of finding. She has an astonishing eye for micro-details, catching everything from factual accuracy and geographic nuances to intricate blocking mechanics and echoes that easily slip past the eye. Most importantly, she never tried to change who my characters were or touch the heart of my plot; she simply enhanced my voice and made the narrative shine. Her constant encouragement and clear, collaborative communication turned what could have be...
