I feel very grateful to have been able to work with someone as experienced as Kathy. She brings deep professional insight across all levels of the writing process, and has the ability to really laser in on the story, its issues, and the potential resolutions. In short, the feedback she gave me has catapulted my project forward so that I feel much more in the drivers seat of my story, and my writing. I am chomping at the bit to continue implementing her editorial suggestions. And in case you ...

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.

Shannon was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job with the developmental edits and copy edits for my debut novel. The style sheet was spot on, the developmental feedback was thorough and extremely helpful in identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, and her copy editing seemed to catch every one of my numerous grammatical mistakes. I've already booked my second book with her for later this year!

Irene has been wonderful to work with. Her designs and illustrations are imaginative and striking. I love what she came up with for my book cover! She has been in constant communication, getting back to me quickly about any needs or changes. Her professionalism and work ethic are top notch. She takes great pride in her work, and it shows. Because this is my first book, I miscalculated some things, but Irene was very understanding when adjustments were needed. I highly recommend her.

Working with Raúl on the cover design for my children's book was an absolute pleasure. As a first time author, I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for, but Raúl had a remarkable ability to translate my ideas into something truly beautiful. The final result exceeded every expectation I had. What set Raúl apart was his thoughtful, collaborative approach. Rather than simply delivering a finished product, he took the time to develop several distinct proposals, each one carefully considered ...

With Travis you're getting a true pro and - importantly - candor. His feedback is direct, honest, and fair and immensely helpful whether looking at minor copy edits, structural emphasis, or the big picture of storytelling. He's got a great eye for what can take the story to the next level and I'm confident that he significantly elevated not just my work but my understanding of the craft.

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...

Reece-Alexander Norris-Paterson was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first conversation, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly attentive to detail. He listened carefully to my vision for both the story and the cover design, and then brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations. His efficiency and creative insight made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Not only did he execute the design beautifully, but he also captured the tone, emotion, and es...

Working with Shannon has been one of the greatest blessings in my writing journey. She has edited five of my books, and with each one, she proves again why she is absolutely indispensable. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—nothing slips past her. She catches the smallest inconsistencies, tightens the narrative, and ensures every word earns its place. Her skill in reorganizing timelines—dates, times, and sequences—is nothing short of amazing. Whenever I drift, she gently but firmly ste...

Chris is the best! I've worked with him several times now and had a great experience every time. Always prompt and professional with great insights.

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Allen is a pleasure to work with: he is thoughtful, imaginative, punctual and experienced (in web design and as a writer). He was very reasonable with his budget request and had always been very clear on what to expect. He was attentive to my wishes (as they evolved throughout the life of the project). He delivered what he promised, and he did it on time and stayed within budget. I will not hesitate to hire him for my new project, and I strongly recommend you do so as well. YR.

Working with Shenny was absolutely wonderful! She was very organized, did an excellent job getting a feel for exactly what I wanted for my website redesign, was very responsive to feedback, and delivered a beautiful website that I'm very excited about. I can't recommend her enough!

Much can be said about Rachel and her professionalism, collaborations, and insights. But two simple words best describe her: she cares. Cares about her craft, her writers and authors, and the people around her. That's it. Plain and simple. She simply cares. You can feel it in everything she does and says, from her tweaks and edits, to her conversational mentorship, encouragements, and kindnesses. Yes, she simply and genuinely just cares. Period end.

I've seen some of Octavio's work before and they look amazing but he seriously blew me away with what he did for my project. You can tell he's a trust master of his craft and highly talented. He was also super easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone whose looking for an amazing illustrator.
