Rich was the most kind and understanding person ever! Having him as my illustrator for my very first children's book was such a blessing. He is so patient, generous, and supportive and is STILL helping me through the self publishing process even though the collaboration date is technically done. I am a college student working multiple jobs while trying to make ends meet and he met me where I needed to make my dreams come true. God truly blessed me with a talented illustrator that I will cer...

Working with Bo has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. He brought professionalism, care, patience, and deep editorial skill to my book, The Art of Cash Flow: Her Journey in Treasury, Resilience, and Financial Transformation. As a first-time author, I needed not only editorial support but also guidance, reassurance, and a steady hand through the final stages of preparing the manuscript for publication. Bo provided all of this with great dedication. He helped shape the manusc...

Working with Victoria on my cover was such a pleasure. From the very start, she did something I didn't expect she actually read and asked questions about the book, and came to our early conversations with deep, thoughtful suggestions to help the vision and what I was trying to do. That care set the tone for everything that followed; she's a wonderful listener and a truly collaborative partner. The brief was a tricky one; it needed to hold real tension between bold and warm, professional and ...

Hiring Dan to copy-edit Seraphant was one of the best decisions I made on this book. The manuscript is 180,000 words across 43 chapters, with a constructed language woven through the prose, layered worldbuilding, and a science-fantasy register that demanded a careful editorial ear. Dan handled all of it. He delivered chapter sets on a reliable Wednesday schedule, communicated cleanly throughout, and tracked global conventions—capitalization, formatting, terminology—across the whole arc with...

Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

So impressed with the whole experience working with Matthew. He was really outstanding throughout the process, went way above and beyond on everything from explaining every feature or use of the site to setting up or connecting to other related sites or services, and his extra work on the design. His communication was so clear and thorough, truly felt his care about the project. And the end result was tremendous and really fit my book and its world. Definitely looking forward to working with...

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

Elizabeth took care of all of my needs. I appreciated her ability to adapt to my changes during the project. She remained very professional and patient with me throughout this time working together. She always answered my questions. I definitely would use her services again!

Erin was tremendously helpful. Her very constructive criticism is serious, and because she offers feedback from the POV of both a professional editor/writer, and 12 year old reader (not all editors can do this well), the edit is invaluable. She enabled me to see what wasn’t working, why, and what to do about it. Will be returning to Erin for more help soon.

Misha did a wonderful job with my manuscript. I know that details are the name of the game for a copy editor, but when working with something that's a high fantasy, Mysha did a wonderful job corralling my writing and catching the slips that I made. Going through her comments, it was reassuring to see everything that Mysha suggested tweaking and she often explained why she might keep something the same or change it, giving me a good learning experience as a writer for what I need to keep in mi...

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Lisa Kaitz is, without question, the finest editor I have worked with—and I say that having collaborated with more than ten editors across multiple books. She is exceptionally focused, remarkably attentive to even the smallest details, and consistently thoughtful in her editorial judgment. Like all truly great editors, Lisa is loyal first and foremost to the reader. She challenged me when necessary, strengthened the narrative at every level, and worked tirelessly to help me produce the strong...

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. She completed the work on time (actually, ahead of schedule!) and in a professional manner. She did a thorough check of all the (many) historical, geographic, and linguistic references that I made and suggested numerous corrections. Her recommended edits aided me in smoothing out my work, making it less repetitive, and making it more cohesive overall. Once she provided me with the file that she proofread, she remained very responsive and happily answer...

It's the second time I've worked with Rozi - she did an amazing copy-edit and polished the manuscript to standards. I'm really happy with the result and look forward collaboration with her a third time.
