I had a wonderful experience working with Edyta on my children's picture book. She was professional, responsive, and a joy to collaborate with throughout the entire project. Edyta carefully considered my feedback, made revisions promptly, and brought the story to life with beautiful, warm, and engaging illustrations. She also created a polished and professional book design that exceeded my expectations. The cover is especially eye-catching and perfectly captures the spirit of the story. I...

Working with Eli on the developmental edit of People Positive was one of the best decisions I made during the process By the time the manuscript reached him, I’d been living inside it for so long that I had lost perspective- Eli had an uncanny ability to spot issues without ever trying to rewrite the book into something it wasn’t. What really impressed me about Eli's work is his honesty- he gave direct, unfiltered feedback that prioritized the book and the reader’s experience. He didn't pla...

Deborah did a wonderful job as the copy editor for my middle grade mystery. Her comments were thoughtful and I felt confident with her suggested changes. She fact-checked small details that I didn't realize were inaccurate. I also appreciated the quick turnaround time. It was a great experience working with Deborah!

Working with Sean Strain was one of the most valuable decisions I made in bringing The Inner Advantage to life. His editorial instinct is precise without being prescriptive, his feedback comes with the kind of clarity that moves a manuscript forward rather than sideways, and his ability to adapt to the rhythm of a project that kept evolving showed a professionalism that is genuinely rare. Sean never imposed his voice on mine. He sharpened it. If you are a writer looking for an editor who resp...

Flawless work. Exceptional understanding. Grasped the message of my work and said it better than I could. Nothing but praise. This one is a keeper.

Laura's feedback and attention to detail have been invaluable in helping me progress my novel towards publication. She is thorough and meticulous in her editing, and always professional, encouraging and friendly in our interactions. I have appreciated her prompt and detailed responses and her very useful suggestions. I highly recommend Laura for her sensitivity, expertise and experience.

S. C. did an excellent job as my Copy Editor. She read and understood my text and provided invaluable "fixes" to my manuscript! The work she gave me was always ahead of schedule, and she even finished the entire project early. She asked me great questions about specific parts of my manuscript and provided remarkable guidance on how to fix additional items. I HIGHLY recommend her for YOUR project!

Matilda was great! The copy edit has significantly improved my book. I was on the border trying to decide whether or not a copy edit was necessary, and am very happy that I got one. I highly recommend doing it and going with Matilda. She is professional, timely, and brings great suggestions to the table!

My co-author and I had never worked with an illustrator before, so we came into the project with a lot of apprehension. It's a challenge when you're not sure what to expect and are in unfamiliar territory. What drew us to Claudia was not only her amazing artistic abilities, but most of all, her bio and other reviews mentioned her patience. The reviews did not lie. We needed a lot of guidance through this process and Claudia delivered that, along with the most stunning illustrations which real...

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

Deborah is an amazing editor. I really appreciated her help with my middle grade fantasy. Her suggestions were great and she pinpointed problems in the manuscript and offered genuinely helpful suggestions. I hope to work with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone else.

Exceptional talent, impeccable professionalism, and a truly wonderful person to work with. Louise took my book from manuscript to masterpiece with remarkable attention to detail and artistic excellence. She consistently went above and beyond, delivering outstanding work on time while making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her creativity, dedication, and kindness made a lasting impression on me. Without hesitation, I can say that Louise exceeded every expectation. She is a rare gem ...

I want to begin this review with four Words: Tricia saved my manuscript. When I first wrote this manuscript - after personal attempts at editing, I initially sent it to QT. I got nothing but rejections. It made me sit back and ask myself, "Is there something wrong with this? What am I not seeing that they are seeing?" And as a writer, dealing with multiple literary agents, it's hard to understand what they are explicitly looking for unless you are already in the know. So, I after researchi...

Zena was everything I hoped for in a developmental editor — insightful, thorough and genuinely invested in helping the story reach its potential. Her feedback went far beyond surface notes, she understood the heart of my project and gave me both the tools and the motivation to keep going. The depth of her editorial report, the thoughtfulness of her comments and her ability to balance critique with encouragement were exceptional. It will take me time to reflect and revise, but I already feel ...

As an ESL writer, I am so grateful to have had Val's support. She was incredibly sharp and right on point. Not only did she elevate my manuscript's prose, she also helped me spot my common mistakes. I've learned so much from her edits, and I highly recommend her to any writer—debut or seasoned!
