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 ...

Kelly Carter was absolutely amazing to work with on both the cover and interior design of my book. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her artistic talent is exceptional, and she brought my vision to life beautifully. She was always easy to communicate with and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I am very thankful for her hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional des...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

The whole process was a joy. I have no complaints. Robin is helpful, quick to answer any questions, and above all expert at what she does. Comunication was wonderful. She provided updates all along the way. The work was done on time. It really comes across that she cares for what she does and cares for you and your writing. If I write another book I will be happy to work with her again knowing that she will make the book better.

Beau's feedback was exactly what I needed to polish my novel. I was mainly looking for help sharpening some of my themes, as well as validation for the way I handled a diverse cast. Beau understood exactly what was needed and provided comments that made the story better, with enough explanation to be clear without going overboard. They also have a great ear for dialogue and pointed out places that were a bit awkward or clunky. All while being a great cheerleader throughout. I 100% recommend...

Kat is a fantastic editor. Knowledgable, insightful, and positive when it comes to making suggestions for enhancement in a constructive, concise, and considered way. She clearly lays out her approach and outlines the timeline, which she delivered against ahead of deadline. She was responsive and really helpful when considering options and I really valued her professional opinion and perspective. Thank you Kat, it's been great working with you.

Elayne is a wonder to work with. She took the dreaded synopsis project and made the revision process feel easy. Her analysis was thoughtful and precise. She asked insightful questions that helped clarify what truly needed to be included (and what didn’t) to tell the story effectively in such a limited space. Her line edits were masterful. And what's more, I also working on a tight timeline, and she delivered everything ahead of schedule. An absolute pleasure. Thank you, Elayne!

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

It was a pleasure to work with Laura. From the start she was enthusiastic and supportive. It is a difficult thing to put your work up for criticism, but from our correspondence I got a good feeling that Laura understood what I was trying to do with my story and would be constructive. The feedback I received was encouraging, with strengths and positive elements clearly articulated and evidenced. The changes she suggested were targeted and helpful; she had clearly understood what I was looking ...

I had the pleasure of working with Luca on both my book cover and interior design for my first book, and the experience exceeded expectations. As a first-time author, I needed someone with patient and knowledge to guide me through the design process, and Luca was exactly that. His communication was excellent throughout the engagement as he took the time to understand my visions, shared thoughtful feedback, and provided clear guidance every step of the way. Luca's technical expertise with fo...

I can't say enough good things about working with Collette. She took the vision for my very first book Be Good to Yourself — a 100-day guided journal rooted in the dahlia as a symbol of blooming and radical self-compassion — and brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined. The color palette, the delicate line-art florals, the way she color-coded each phase of the journal with its own subtle tab system... every detail feels intentional and elevated. She has a genuine gift for translati...

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.

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.

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

Exceptional design partner, world-class execution Sebastian Cudicio was an outstanding design partner throughout the full production journey of my book, Beyond Blame: A Human and Organizational Performance Approach to Incident Investigation, Learning, and Leadership.
