Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

Natalia was an outstanding choice to design my book. I had originally attempted the design myself, but I knew it just wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. The changes Natalia made exceeded anything I could have imagined. She carefully followed all of my instructions, and whenever I was uncertain, she offered thoughtful suggestions that greatly improved the final product. She also contributed a few creative ideas of her own that elevated the design well beyond my original vision. Throughout...

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

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!

Amanda was simply a pleasure to work with. I had a very tight—arguably unreasonable—timeline, and she didn’t hesitate to take on the challenge. She delivered thoughtful, insightful feedback that significantly improved the clarity, tone, and flow of my children’s storybook. What stood out most was her attention to detail and her genuine care for the project. She not only corrected grammar and phrasing, but also offered suggestions that strengthened the storytelling and made the narrative more ...

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Chelsea Beam! She took the time to edit my book and provided timely feedback throughout the process. Her edits strengthened my content while preserving my voice. I will definitely work with Chelsea again on future projects.

My choice of Melissa for my Developmental Editor could not have been more perfect for my debut novel! I am so impressed by her ability to understand the concept of the story but to also "hear" my voice and then apply what she understands to the editing. I am totally in line with her suggestions and am having a good time expanding the story to include them. I think it will be a much better "read" with these revisions. She has been a tremendous asset to my project and I look forward to the poss...

Rennie was an outstanding copyeditor for my 70,000-word memoir. From the get-go, she impressed me. She responded to my quote request quickly with a deeply thoughtful reply that made clear she was genuinely interested in the project. Her communication throughout the project was excellent and she completed the work several days early. In addition to thorough copyediting of the manuscript, she pointed out a few key inconsistencies. The manuscript had gone through developmental edits, and I was u...

I am so grateful that I was able to find Philip Bashe to review my manuscript. After reviewing his previous body of work - he was the only person I wanted to provide a copy/line edit for my book. He provided a thorough and exhaustive edit not only on time - but actually two weeks ahead of time to accommodate my own schedule - allowing me to finish my work during a natural break in my own life. More importantly than simply completing the work early, however, he poured an incredible level of...

Working with Raúl on the cover design for my children's book was an absolute pleasure. As a first time author, I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for, but Raúl had a remarkable ability to translate my ideas into something truly beautiful. The final result exceeded every expectation I had. What set Raúl apart was his thoughtful, collaborative approach. Rather than simply delivering a finished product, he took the time to develop several distinct proposals, each one carefully considered ...

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Working with Jessica was an incredible experience from start to finish. She brought the world of my story to life with warmth, emotion, and professionalism, and the final artwork exceeded my expectations. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and collaborative throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to creative direction while also offering strong artistic instincts that elevated the book beyond what I imagined. Every spread feels cohesive and intentional, and she handled sym...

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

Fast. Thorough. Easy to work with. Great work.

Working with Josiah was an exceptional experience. As a Latino author writing a novel deeply rooted in Mesoamerican mythology and cultural perspectives, I was genuinely impressed by how well he understood my world, my characters, and the voice behind the story. He approached the manuscript with respect, clarity, and a remarkable ability to read not just the text, but the cultural heartbeat beneath it. His feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and delivered with kindness. He identified struct...
