Working with Andy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first Zoom call, he took the time to truly understand the scope of my project while patiently answering all of my questions. His communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. It was always prompt, clear, and professional. I never felt unsure about where things stood, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Andy is not only highly skilled at what he does, but he also brings a level ...

Working with Rennie was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. As a first-time author, I quickly learned that editing is about much more than grammar, punctuation, and style. It requires someone who can strengthen a manuscript while protecting the author's voice. Rennie did exactly that. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and insightful. She challenged me where the manuscript needed strengthening, encouraged me where it was working, and always approach...

Lyndsey Smith did an excellent job reviewing my manuscript, delivering her feedback in a very timely manner. Her focus on word choice, grammar, and syntax was exceptional. Thanks to her thorough work, I feel confident that my final manuscript is ready for submission to agents and publishing houses. She even caught several errors that I would have never noticed on my own. I am extremely pleased with her services and confident that I made the right choice in hiring her. Thanks, Lyndsey. Giul...

Ian is a meticulous editor, worth every penny you’d spend on editorial. Even though I hired Ian only to do copy edits, he put in the extra effort to proofread and also give some inputs on developmental level. Every comment he makes goes a long way in making my manuscript better. His impeccable work shows how much he cares for the manuscript and your story. His work not only improves my manuscript but also teaches me to be a better writer. My only regret is not involving Ian sooner in my work....

I have worked with Veronica in the past and will continue to do so in the future. She is very kind, patient, and quick to respond to messages. She is also a creative problem solver and tackles any speed bumps that arise in the book publishing process with finesse and positivity.

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...

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.

Shaun was absolutely the right person to bring my cover to life. He was attentive, engaged, and quickly grasped the vision outlined in my brief, then took it even further, surpassing my expectations. His professionalism was impeccable throughout the project. He respected deadlines, communicated clearly at every stage, and handled each revision with real patience and flexibility. His artistic sensitivity and creativity consistently elevated the ideas I had in mind and he added touches that ma...

As a debut author, my first editorial experience with Donna far exceeded my expectations. She delivered ample feedback that will serve to make the work stronger along with specific rationale as to why she would make such changes, yet was clear about the boundary between editorial direction and authorial decisions. I very much appreciated the time she took to walk me through the changes and willingness to discuss other considerations about the manuscripts I had sent to her for review. Any auth...

Octavio was amazing to work with. He did a wonderful job with my cover. He was timely in getting back to me with updates on the project. This was my first time working with an illustrator on a book cover and Octavio was patient and easy to work with. He had wonderful vision in helping bring my ideas to life. I would work with him again.

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

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

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

Working with Barry has been nothing short of extraordinary. He took my vision for a medical political thriller and brought it to life with skill, precision, and creativity. His ability to capture complex medical concepts while weaving them seamlessly into a gripping narrative was remarkable. Barry not only understood the technical side of the story but also elevated the suspense and emotional depth, creating a book that is both authentic and page-turning. Beyond his talent as a writer, Barry...

Jennifer is my favorite, and she holds a special place in my heart (and author journey) because she is one of the first people who saw the potential in me and my writing! I worked with her several years ago on two children's books, and I told her that when I was ready, I'd bring her a novel worth her experience and time. This WIP is that novel! I am so elated and proud that she is my editor, and I can't wait to work with her again on my next project! She is extremely responsive (always has be...
