I worked with Ben on my query package and opening pages, and it was the most valuable step in my querying process. His feedback was genuinely practical. He suggested some great edits and explained why they mattered, from the lens of a former writing agent. He also provides two guides, one on writing a query letter and one on finding an agent. Those guides alone are worth the price. They gave me a much stronger sense of how to approach the industry strategically. My materials are sharper and...

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...

Lauren was excellent to work with throughout this project. She was highly responsive, thorough, and consistently delivered work of a very high standard. As well as providing a detailed proofread, she often went beyond what was asked by spotting issues, making thoughtful suggestions, and helping improve the overall quality of the manuscript. Communication was clear and professional throughout, deadlines were met, and I always felt the project was in safe hands. I would happily work with Lau...

Zennor provided a thoughtful, rigorous editorial assessment that engaged seriously with both the strengths and structural challenges of my manuscript. Her feedback was clear, specific and respectful of voice, with particularly helpful insights into pacing, repetition and narrative arc. I found the report both encouraging and demanding in the right ways, and it’s given me a strong framework for revision. I’d happily recommend her to authors looking for honest, professional feedback.

Working with Gary was an absolute game changer in my project. His attention to small mistakes were incredibly helpful for my project to feel smooth and nicer to read. He was incredibly supportive of my project and I am super happy to have worked with Gary and would definitely recommend and would love to work with on future projects.

I can’t praise Jo too highly. She has helped me to turn my scribbling into something I can now submit to literary agents.

Agustin was extremely professional I was really impressed by the quality of his work and the completion of the translation within the time frame established even beating the date by a week. His work was extraordinary to say the least he did an excellent work overall. I can highly recommend his work.

Working with Holly was an exceptional experience. This was my first book and my first time working with a professional editor, and I could not have asked for a better guide through the process. Holly treated my memoir with great care and respect while also being honest when she believed something could be stronger. Her comments were thoughtful and never felt like she was trying to rewrite my voice. Instead, she helped me better understand my own writing and why certain revisions would make th...

Working with Rachel on BIG A: Affordable Housing was one of the best decisions I made as a first-time author. I came into this process knowing my subject matter, but not knowing all the ins and outs of turning that knowledge into a polished, professional book. Rachel guided me through every step. She was far more than an editor. She made thoughtful suggestions that strengthened the book while respecting my voice and what I wanted BIG A to be. She helped me understand formatting, organization...

I truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth. She understood the book. She identified many of the exact areas I had been uncertain about. She had read the entire manuscript closely and thoughtfully. As a beginner writer, I felt she did more than just edit the manuscript. She helped me see what was already working, what was missing, and what kind of book I really wanted to write. That is a tremendous insight that she gave me. She also provided a detailed letter to my specific questions about the...

I can't say enough good things about Leila. She was insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. Her feedback helped clarify the story and strengthen its emotional core, especially through suggestions on the ending and the overall message. She was also very responsive, and her edits and notes were always constructive and easy to understand. Leila truly understood what I was trying to accomplish and helped elevate the story while still respecting my voice. I’m gr...

I couldn’t recommend Rebecca more highly as a developmental editor. She started with a one-to-one meeting to really understand the heart of the project before touching a single page — and that investment showed in everything that followed. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the story I was trying to tell, not a generic template. Beyond the big-picture developmental advice, she went through the manuscript line by line, adding comments and suggestions directly onto...

Working with Bonnie has been an incredibly great experience. I’m truly grateful for her support in bringing one of my dream projects to life. Throughout the entire process, I deeply appreciated her expertise, kindness and genuine enthusiasm for creating something beautiful together. Collaborating with her allowed me to fully relax into her professionalism and trust her work completely. She had a wonderful way of supporting my ideas, thoughtfully challenging me when needed and introducing fr...

I’ve worked with Helen a handful of times on query critique, submission packet feedback, first chapter critique, and this time guidance on the effectiveness of my prologue and every time she’s given me actionable feedback, wonderful and kind critique, and an overall amazing experience. She is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and always has a quick turnaround. I always think back to the first time I worked with her on a query critique for my first book. My query letter (like my first book)...

I can't say enough good things about Helen. She was an absolute dream to work with and provided a thorough, insightful review of my manuscript, along with practical suggestions that genuinely improved the story. Helen understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and her feedback strengthened the manuscript while still preserving my voice. Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...
