Jamie went above and beyond with her editorial assessment. Highly recommend!!

Working with Duncan was a very positive experience. He approached the manuscript with a high level of care and respect for the voice of the work. His edits focused on clarity, flow, and consistency without altering the underlying tone or philosophy. What stood out most was his ability to recognize what the writing was doing and support it rather than reshape it. His suggestions, especially around paragraph structure and readability, made the material more accessible while keeping the integrit...

My experience with Rebecca is everything I wanted and more. She is very clear about what to expect and how to prepare and respond to feedback. She has suggested things that now seem so obvious but I could not see without her. In terms of a diagnostic (both creatively and structurally) she is exceptional. Everything she has suggested has made my manuscript exponentially more sophisticated. She is thorough, detailed and prompt with comms. Best of all, I feel that she knows and cares for my char...

I had the pleasure of working with Luca on both my book cover and interior design for my first book, and the experience exceeded expectations. As a first-time author, I needed someone with patient and knowledge to guide me through the design process, and Luca was exactly that. His communication was excellent throughout the engagement as he took the time to understand my visions, shared thoughtful feedback, and provided clear guidance every step of the way. Luca's technical expertise with fo...

I hired Ciera to do a final proofread on my novel, after two other editors had their eyes on it. Well, she found the mistakes they missed, and she ensured my work was a professional product. She was responsive, delivered ahead of time, and gladly looked at two additional scenes I had rewritten. She's a pro and every author needs someone like Ciera to check their work.

Marta was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. She was always responsive and quickly responded to and implemented my feedback as we worked through each step of the process, while also applying her expertise and offering guidance on the design direction. If you're considering working with Marta, don't hesitate to submit a request!

Josiah was my first hire for my first book, and though I was skeptical about hiring an editor at first, he has shown me that the price is well worth it. From the moment he gave me an example of his work, I knew this was the correct choice, and after receiving the final draft and his input on how to improve, I can honestly say that I hope to hire him again in the future.

I'm so glad I hired J to do a developmental edit on my debut novel. She's communicative, thorough, and enthusiastic. In addition to advising me on structural hiccups like incomplete transitions and underdeveloped plot points, she corrected some typos and grammatical errors that I'd overlooked. She also took the time to answer the questions I had about her editorial suggestions. I highly recommend working with her!

Working with Stefanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach, and brought so much creativity and originality to the project. What stood out most was her ability to take the vision and elevate it beyond what I had imagined, adding her own ideas in ways that made the story richer and more engaging. Every step of the process felt seamless, and her communication made it easy and enjoyable to work together. I’m genu...

Rebecca was fantastic! She helped me hash out all my questions about the book’s structure and how it may fit into the unfamiliar publishing industry. She was quick, reliably responsive and I have no concerns. I’ll be back for a developmental edit!

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

Izabela is amazing! She quickly understood my vision and delivered a beautiful, professional design that elevated the entire book. The cover is beautiful, the interior layout is clean and polished, and communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. I’m thrilled with the results and I would go to her for anything I need on future projects. Highly recommend working with her!

I loved working with Nicolae. In fact, we already have plans to do three more projects together in the coming year. I'm even considering getting a poster of the cover made to hang above my desk. It's exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait until I have whole series done.
