Working with Tina has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my publishing journey. She is that rare kind of editor who brings equal parts mastery, intuition, and genuine care to every page. Her feedback was never just technical — it was clarifying, grounding, and deeply attuned to the heart of the work. I felt seen, supported, and sharpened in all the right ways. Tina doesn’t simply polish a manuscript; she elevates it. She listens for the soul of the book, protects its...

Marina designed my memoir. A private, cloth-bound edition of eight: 220 pages, full color, more than sixty archival photographs, and a printed dust jacket. She did all of it. Interior layout, image restoration, jacket design, endpapers, cloth and deboss specifications. Then she took on the printing herself, found a bindery in England willing to do thread-sewn, blind-debossed cloth at that quantity, and managed the production run and the invoicing. Here is the most important thing I can say a...

Edyta is a talented artist and created a whimsical and wonderful illustration for a project I'm working on. Excited to work with her again!

Bryn was amazing to work with! She was professional, providing thoughtful and on point developmental and copy edits to help me push my project to its best! I highly recommend Bryn, and I hope to work with her again on my next book!

Working with Michelle was one of the best decisions I made in bringing The Modern Grandparent to publication. I came to her with a book and a companion workbook that I had already revised many times on my own, along with a detailed style sheet full of rules that are not standard. Michelle honored every one of those choices. Her edits were careful and consistent across both manuscripts, which mattered to me because the workbook has to mirror the book chapter by chapter. She caught the kinds ...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

Jay Antani is an exceptional developmental editor. His feedback is insightful, clear, and consistently elevates the work without ever overshadowing the author’s voice. He has a rare ability to identify both the emotional heart of a scene and the structural choices that make it stronger. Jay’s guidance pushed my novel to a higher level, and I’m grateful for the care and intelligence he brought to every page.

Thank you, Jain!! Working with you has been incredibly valuable for me in this early phase of developing my book. Your time and attention offered clarity, accountability, and a renewed sense of confidence. I look forward to continuing to work together!!

Jane is the ultimate professional. It started with our initial call where she got to know me and my goals and the set out clear expectations for where she could use her skills to help. Highly recommend her!

This was a wonderful experience. I wasn't sure if an editorial assessment would be "worth" it when I originally got it. I still am considering traditionally publishing after all. But this is exactly what my book needed, it feels like a doctor came through and pointed to all the possible weak points. It solved some issues I didn't even realize I had. She was easy to ask questions to, and the hour call at the end brought everything together.

Working with Corbin has truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm and reassuring, which was great as someone who never imagined I’d be writing a book at this stage of life. Her feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and deeply constructive. She helped elevate the structure while honoring the heart and voice of my work. I will be continuing with her beyond the first round of edits and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any wri...

Working with Taylor was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire process of writing my first book. From our very first interaction, it was clear that he genuinely cared about helping me create the best book possible—not just correcting grammar or making edits. He provided thoughtful guidance, challenged me when something could be stronger, and helped me understand the "why" behind his suggestions, which was invaluable as a first-time author. What I appreciated most was that Tay...

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

Working with Rebecca was an absolute game-changer for my nonfiction book. From our very first conversation, Rebecca brought a level of insight and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. She has a sharp editorial eye — she understood not just what I was trying to say, but what I meant to say, and helped me say it better. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the book's bigger purpose. What really set Rebecca apart was how she improved the manuscript in ways ...

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...
