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!

I really enjoyed working with Jonathan on my book. He was professional, responsive, and very attentive throughout the process. He made thoughtful corrections and suggestions, and I felt that my work was in good hands. I’m very grateful for his help and would happily recommend him to others!

Martha's editorial report exceeded my expectations in both depth and precision. I received nearly a thousand line-level comments, each one thoughtful and specific. Rather than dictating changes, she asks the right questions: where gaps exist, where the timeline needs anchoring, where repetition dulls the prose. She caught contradictions I had missed across chapters and flagged patterns I was too close to see. What impressed me most was her respect for the manuscript's voice. She pushed for cl...

Ranna did an outstanding job on my book cover and all of my interior design. I loved getting to work with her and see my ideas come to life through her skills and art. Not only is she super talented she is very kind and helps integrate your feedback seamlessly and ensures you love your final product. I would 100% go with Rannia for all cover needs, interior design etc. She is actually doing my second book as well because I loved the experience so much. Thankful is an understatement!

Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strong design judgment, and clear communication throughout the entire process. Deliverables were completed on time, exceeded expectations, and were thoughtfully executed across both cover and interior files. Her responsiveness and professionalism made the collaboration smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Megan to any author looking for high-quality, reliable design ...

Anna was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She transformed my vision into a polished, professional book that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the project was creative, patient, highly responsive, and always willing to incorporate feedback and refine details. She created a beautiful cover and interior layout and consistently delivered high-quality work on time. I would gladly work with Anna again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a talented, collaborative bo...

It was a pleasure to work with Laura. From the start she was enthusiastic and supportive. It is a difficult thing to put your work up for criticism, but from our correspondence I got a good feeling that Laura understood what I was trying to do with my story and would be constructive. The feedback I received was encouraging, with strengths and positive elements clearly articulated and evidenced. The changes she suggested were targeted and helpful; she had clearly understood what I was looking ...

Lynne did a fabulous job coaching me through all the main aspects of writing a historical fiction novel. She gave me a solid framework, massive encouragement and so many tips! Not to mention she is a very kind and considerate person. Many thanks Lynne!

Working with Ivy on my debut novel was an incredible experience. She was fast and responsive, but more importantly, she was deeply "in" the manuscript with me. Her attention to detail is extraordinary - she caught things I never would have spotted, and her feedback on everything from sentence flow to overall style was spot on. I consistently found myself thinking "that's absolutely right!" What really stood out was how intuitively she grasped my voice. Ivy didn’t just edit the book - I felt...

Writing a query letter was 10x harder for me that writing a book. I'm sure I didn't feel that way when I was writing my book, but on the other side of it, nailing a terrific query letter seemed to take me forever. I finally got it to a place where I was confident it was good, but not great. Something was missing, Jesse helped me take it over the top. He listened to what I felt was missing, asked questions to get further context, offered suggestions based on his experienced and helped explain ...

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

Tom is helping me get new signups for my website ReaderVerified.com. The turnaround has been quick and steady. ReaderVerified is focused on indie and self published authors, a small niche community. Tom was able to identify that slice of the market and get me real results. I couldn't have done it without him! John F Noone

The story was The Judge’s Daughter not Conspiracy. Fictionalizing a complex story based on real experience is a challenge. More so for an octogenarian emerging to write. Zeynep in a professional manner tested my work in her analysis against critical desirable elements rather than preach. She made several useful elemental suggestions to tighten my storyline, including a timeline adjustment and an impactful repositioning. She is pleasant yet concrete. I think the world of her capacity base...

Working with Nina has been such a positive and productive experirence. Her knowledge and professionalism was of great benefit for me. It's my first time going through a process such as this, and it's been quite productive and beneficial. I appreciate her partnership in this process and will not hesitate to engage with her again, should the need arise.
