James proofread my 63,000-word nonfiction book, and the work was exactly what a final proofread should be. He returned clean tracked changes — over 750 corrections — plus nearly a hundred margin comments where a decision was mine to make, each one clearly explained. He caught things well beyond typos: an appendix citation that didn't match what the chapter actually said, a sentence that quietly contradicted the book's timeline, and consistency slips I'd read past a dozen times. Just as impor...

This is the second time I have worked with Steve. My appreciation for his work is a 10. Thank you, Steve!

Working with Becky Wallace has been one of the greatest privileges of my journey as an author. Becky has masterfully edited the last three books in my series, and her work has elevated every aspect of my writing. She possesses a rare combination of sharp editorial precision, deep storytelling insight, and genuine respect for an author’s voice. Becky expertise isn't limited to correcting grammar or restructuring sentences, she will strengthen the heart of your story. Her edits consistently sh...

Working with Constance was a genuinely rewarding experience. Her editorial approach is thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply attentive to the inner life of the story, not just its surface mechanics. She reads like a serious reader first and an editor second, which makes her feedback feel purposeful rather than procedural. What I especially appreciated was her ability to ask the right questions — the kind that help you make conscious, authorial decisions rather than simply apply fixes. Even in ...

Alicia has been a pleasure to work with. She keeps me updated regularly and responds promptly to my questions. Her feedback on my initial work was incredibly valuable, providing me with the material and references I needed to move forward. I expressed my nerves about sharing my work, as it was my first time, and she reassured me that it was perfectly fine. We collaborated on the initial feedback professionally, which inspired me to expand my novella into a full novel. Overall, I am very happy...

Working with Shannon was an absolute joy and worth every penny! She clearly spent so much time going through my draft, thinking about what could be improved and trying to understand what I was going for. At the point I started working with her, I was really struggling with my book. I felt passionate about it conceptually but it wasn't working and I was so lost. I gave her a too-short, very unfinished draft and she sent me back the most thoughtful editorial letter and edits. She was able to ...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Kelly is a great professional to work with. She checks back with you to make sure she has understood your vision of your book. She is patient and helps newbies understand the process. She provides good examples of images she could use and helps you to narrow down the vision. I was very please with the inside of my book with the added touches she provided. The cover is awesome. I will definitely use her again as a designer!

"Working with Alisson was an absolute pleasure! She is thorough, highly attentive to detail, and went above and beyond with her editorial feedback. She even delivered the final version 10 days ahead of the deadline! Her revisions truly elevated the quality of the manuscript while keeping my voice intact. Communication was seamless throughout. I highly recommend her services and look forward to working together again!"

I'd like to extend my immense gratitude to Janet for her excellent editorials, most encouraging guidance, and for serving as a sounding board through my debut authorship journey. She deserves more than 5 stars!

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...

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

Jaime was extremely helpful, very professional and got the work done in the required time. I loved working with her, and it was really great experience to having my first editor ever look at something I wrote. She was very prompt, very nice and I seemed like we clicked from the start which was nice, it was like talking with a friend! She also has helped fine tune my manuscript and point out things I did not notice before which has helped my book become even better!

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

Working with Cindy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her developmental editing went far beyond surface-level feedback. She approached my manuscript with the insight of a true craftsperson, combining narrative intuition with a teacher’s depth of understanding. Cindy’s assessment was remarkably detailed and constructive, providing both high-level story guidance and precise commentary on structure, pacing, and character development. What impressed me most was the educational va...
