Chris has been open and encouraging, as well as he has delivered on time. He has also gone beyond the scope of the work by being willing to look at any changes without adding more cost. He is also helping me make further connections. A heartfelt thank you and I would definitely work with him again.

I cannot express enough that working with Lisa was the best decision I could have made for my father’s book. She brought precision, compassion, and true editorial mastery to every page. Lisa didn’t just edit the manuscript — she elevated it. She understood the heart of the story, protected my dad’s voice, and shaped the book into something I am deeply proud to publish. Her instincts were excellent, and she was spot-on with every detail. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care ar...

Tom has created a beautiful author's website for me that captures the setting of my novel while maintaining professionalism. He has been helpful with any problems and his communication and availability is great. I can't recommend Tom highly enough. Thanks for bringing my vision into reality!

After an excellent coaching session with Kim, I then had her edit my first book. I learned a great deal from Kim, and she did an amazing job with my book. Kim is both friendly and professional, and I would recommend her.

Working with Olga was an excellent experience. She went above and beyond, showing remarkable patience to ensure the cover was absolutely perfect - and the result exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, she was friendly, communicative, and receptive to every request for revision. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her.

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

Working with Abbey was a joy. She gave me thoughtful and spot on comments on a global level, as well as pointing out places in in the manuscript where little tweaks could go a long way. Her sense of story is very strong, and my novel will be 1000 times better thanks to her invaluable feedback. Thank you, Abbey, you glorious editor!

Joel is an excellent artist and consummate professional. His quote clearly outlined exactly what he would provide for the agreed upon price and he fully delivered. Even after the fact, Joel continues to provide support and is going to help with with the cover uploads to KDP and IngramSpark. I will be working with Joel again in the future. If you are looking for a cover artist, I highly recommend him!

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Sofie is absolutely incredible! For someone who just wrote an entire book, I know it’s hard to believe that I’m struggling to find the words to describe her talent, but I am. She took a very clunky vision I had and turned it into a cover and design package that was better than anything I could have imagined. I’ve had countless people comment on the cover, and that is all thanks to Sofie. She has an incredible ability to understand not just what will look beautiful, but what will communicate t...

I worked with Lillian on a 109,000-word adult dystopian novel for a developmental edit. We started with a quote request. Before I hired her, we exchanged a few messages about my goals for the manuscript, and I reviewed a sample edit. She returned my manuscript with extensive in-manuscript comments, which I read through before scheduling our follow-up Zoom call. As I went through her comments, I started noticing patterns. Some flagged places where the logic or character motivation wasn’t qu...

Working with Olga was a great experience from start to finish. She showed a high level of professionalism throughout the project. She understood the concept of the book very quickly and stayed aligned with it at every stage. This made the collaboration smooth and focused. Her attention to detail stood out. She challenged elements when needed, refined ideas with precision, and ensured the final output stayed consistent with the original vision. She was also very reliable and easy to work with...

Daniel is thoughtful, wise, and matter of fact. I partnered with him to bring his literary instincts to my story. So glad I did. While reading his development memo—his reflections on my work—I get a humbling sense that he knows more then me about what I'm trying to say. Some of Daniel’s input parallels my quiet subconscious voice. "Yep, I knew I cheated there." One might classify this as coaching. Some of his input lightning-strike fresh…a totally new point of view that will take you're tale ...
