Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

Chris is the best! I've worked with him several times now and had a great experience every time. Always prompt and professional with great insights.

Jim just completed an editorial assessment of my first draft of my first book. He completed this ahead of schedule, and his feedback was positive, constructive, and invaluable. With our follow-up call, I now have a plan to take the manuscript to the next level, with his continued support. I look forward to further collaboration with Jim, and ultimately the successful completion of this book.

Helen is absolutely wonderful to work with. Her developmental review on my manuscript was very thorough and thoughtful. Her insights both into what is going well and where it needs work were clear and easy to understand. The advice and suggestions were actionable. Her review will most definitely help shape my writing on my current manuscript and all future projects.

Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

I couldn't have asked for a better creative partner than Wayne Oram. Realizing this was my first children's book, Wayne was exceptionally patient with me throughout this journey. What's more, he shared valuable insights along the way that brought out the best in my writing. When it comes to illustrators, few can do what Wayne does. His ability to bring characters to life is truly impressive. His whimsical drawings create a special kind of magic you can almost feel as your eyes explore each...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

Jude gave me a professional, insightful and useful report which has given me the confidence and resources to take my project to the next level.

I am quite early on in the process of writing my first book. Lots of ideas. A couple of chapters and an outline. Cat gave great advice both and structured feedback that immediately helped me develop the ‘fuzzy’ parts and strengthen the parts already created. She kept in touch throughout. I really enjoyed the experience and will be back in touch with her in the future - I just need to get writing!

Working with Marian was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free.

She never hesitated to make changes or adjustments and was so thoughtful and collaborative throughout the process. I always felt heard a...

Vicki was extremely professional and from day one she understood our concept and engaged with our book. Her ideas were great and she has created the perfect cover for our book - The Dash of Life. She is easy to work with, great at communicating and has been instrumental in making this an exciting and enjoyable project.

Working with Laura was an excellent experience. She demonstrated a keen eye, great sensitivity, and strong technical mastery. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...
