Martha's editorial report exceeded my expectations in both depth and precision. I received nearly a thousand line-level comments, each one thoughtful and specific. Rather than dictating changes, she asks the right questions: where gaps exist, where the timeline needs anchoring, where repetition dulls the prose. She caught contradictions I had missed across chapters and flagged patterns I was too close to see. What impressed me most was her respect for the manuscript's voice. She pushed for cl...

As a first-time author, I wasn't even really sure what I needed. A proofreader? A content editor? Joy has guided me from the very beginning, offering invaluable information and feedback, sharing her own experiences with the industry, too. It's been a wonderful experience and I am so happy I found Joy.

Working with Paul H. was an excellent experience. He was professional, prompt, and an attentive communicator–honest and easy to collaborate with. As a first-time author, I especially appreciated the valuable advice he offered during the sample review, which saved me a significant amount of money and helped me better understand the editing process. The entire experience was smooth, insightful, and genuinely enjoyable. I recommend his service.

Katie is a fantastic editor. She sees both the forest and the trees, with a keen eye towards purpose. As a writer, I sometimes get so bogged down in the details of a piece that I struggle to zoom out. Katie identified any and all narrative inconsistencies and ambiguities. My writing is more compelling and persuasive because of her edits. She also has a sharp eye for grammar or wording issues and provides great suggestions. She managed to do all of this on an exceedingly tight timeline. I cann...

Claudie is a fantastic artist and collaborator! She illustrated all the artwork for my children's picture book, bringing it to life with fun, colorful illustrations that perfectly match the tone of the story. She was very professional, super responsive and quick, and always welcomed feedback with an open and collaborative attitude. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

Working with Sarah was an exceptionally positive experience. Her developmental assessment was thoughtful, precise, and deeply respectful of both my voice and the heart of my manuscript. Rather than offering generic feedback, she provided clear structural insight that immediately clarified how to strengthen the book’s organization, flow, and reader experience. What stood out most was her ability to balance encouragement with genuinely useful guidance. Her comments were perceptive, constructiv...

I had a great experience working with Joan! Prior to our collaboration, she took time to understand exactly what I was looking for within editing and priced accordingly. I found her process, suggestions, and edits very easy to follow and valuable. I will definitely be working with her again!

I am new to writing and the whole editorial process. Kellyn was very helpful and understanding. She was happy to do a basic read through of the manuscript and then work with me honestly on where the manuscript sits in terms of publishing and what I'll need to do in order to get it to that stage. I would highly recommend her for any part of the editing process.

Louise M. provided fantastic proofreading services; she is responsive and professional, and her eagle eye for details has certainly elevated my work. She somehow even managed to deliver one day ahead of my tight project deadline! I would not hesitate to use her again.

I worked with V on a query package consultation. At the time, I had thirty rejections and one full request. The very first reply after I integrated V's feedback was a full request from a dream agent—someone I never thought I'd even have a chance with. The pricing was extremely reasonable (if anything, I expected to pay more) for everything I got out of it. If I don't get agented on this manuscript, I intend to hire V before I send out a single query on my next project. Cannot recommend them h...

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.

Christie's feedback was concise, clear, and invaluable. I'm working on a rhyming book, and I couldn't have completed this to a high standard without her advice on metre and rhythm. She also advised on vocabulary, and while she made some suggestions for rewording, she helped me keep my own voice and style throughout. I can't thank Christie enough and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the opportunity to work with Bron across three separate contracts as my book coach and editor. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with her kindness and patience, made every step of the process both productive and encouraging. Bron has a remarkable ability to offer clear, insightful guidance that consistently elevated my work. She was also highly responsive and reliably met every deadline, making her not only a skilled professional but a t...

Samantha was amazing. Her feedback was clear, detailed, and constructive, and she was very responsive to questions. Her review greatly improved my query letter. Thank you again very much, Samantha!

Emma is an amazing person to work with. She is extremely communicative, prompt, and provides excellent advice that really takes your story to the next level. Her professionalism and skills are top of the line, and I plan to work with her for future projects!
