John was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He understood the brief straight away and treated my manuscript with real care and respect, while still being confident enough to make smart, thoughtful edits. His work significantly improved the clarity, flow, and overall reader experience of my book, without ever diluting my voice. I especially appreciated the way he made the formatting more consistent and reader-friendly, and his simple but powerful suggestion to personalise ...

If you're lucky enough to land Natalia, do not let go. This woman took my chaotic creative vision—illustrations, full book cover, and interior formatting—and somehow brought it to life better than I imagined. And I imagined a lot. She handled my avalanche of messages, nitpicky updates, last-minute “oh wait, one more thing” changes, and full-throttle perfectionism with the grace of a monk and the response time of a caffeinated coder. Not once did she complain. Not once did she roll her eyes (...

Sarah was wonderful to work with throughout the publishing process of my memoir. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. As a first-time independent author using IngramSpark, I greatly appreciated her guidance, attention to detail, and calm professionalism during what could have been a very overwhelming process. She helped bring my book to life and made me feel confident moving forward with publication. I truly value her dedication and highly recomme...

Flavia is an excellent cover illustrator. Not only was her work beautiful, she was also professional and caring throughout the entire design process. I am so grateful to her for designing such a beautiful cover for my book, and I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to work with her again, especially since she gave such a fair price. A big thank you!

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

I worked with Ben on my query package and opening pages, and it was the most valuable step in my querying process. His feedback was genuinely practical. He suggested some great edits and explained why they mattered, from the lens of a former writing agent. He also provides two guides, one on writing a query letter and one on finding an agent. Those guides alone are worth the price. They gave me a much stronger sense of how to approach the industry strategically. My materials are sharper and...

I loved working with Penelope; she was kind and easy to work with. She respected my writing style while making my manuscript as polished as it could be. She had insightful suggestions that many other readers had not picked up. Grateful to have worked with her and would definitely work with her again!

Alan has now completed a few projects for me, and he is the best. He is responsive, professional, and always does an incredible job.

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...

As a debut author launching my first website, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Maite brought real care and intuition to the process, with a strong understanding of story, tone, and emotional world-building — not just design. She created a site that feels like a genuine invitation into a story still unfolding, balancing atmosphere and clarity beautifully. Thoughtful, collaborative, and quiet confidence-building, she was the perfect partner to help mark the beginning of my author...

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

Working with Dan was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was fast, communicative and clear in his feedback. He was open to meetings and easy to collaborate with. What stood out most was his attention to detail and deep knowledge of the genre. He caught niche science fiction specific details that a general editor would have missed entirely, which made all the difference for this manuscript. His notes were thorough and thoughtful. He always explained the reasoning behind each sugge...

I wanted a cover that depicted a specific scene from my science fiction novel, like an old mass market paperback. I knew a generic cover wouldn't cut it. I needed an artist, not just a designer. And with Alex, I got an artist. I sent him descriptions of the "shot", the characters, the setting. So much detail I was worried about information overload. Alex calmly took it all in, sorted it out, thought about it for a while, sent some sketches, we talked, he sent some more. And after a little mor...

Working with Charlie on the design of my book has been such a great experience. He really understood the feeling and identity I wanted the book to have and helped turn it into something polished, beautiful, and cohesive. He has a very strong eye for detail, and throughout the process he was thoughtful, patient, receptive to feedback, and genuinely committed to getting everything right. I especially appreciated how carefully he considered the overall look and feel of the book, making sure the...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...
