Jo is a real professional. Her help getting my project of designing a children's picture book was just what I needed. As first time children's book author and illustrator, there were many components that required more coordinating than I had anticipated. The project was beyond my capabilites, which is where Jo' expertise was so helpful. In the process, she pointed out things that needed adjustment to my copy and art. We had to rework some pages to fit the requirements of the printing company ...

I am totally delighted with Ed and how he has improved my entire project. Not only does he pay meticulous attention to every detail, every comma, every capital letter, but he also combines it with the higher-level view of the story style and construction. A wee side note from Ed saying "laughed at this" or similar comments makes the whole process so fun. I was excited to read each of his notes to find the ones that showed we were reading this together. I feel I was lucky to find Ed.

After an excellent coaching session with Kim, I then had her edit my first book. I learned a great deal from Kim, and she did an amazing job with my book. Kim is both friendly and professional, and I would recommend her.

Working with Maria was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and highly actionable. She challenged me to strengthen my manuscript while always respecting my voice and the heart behind the project. Her recommendations helped me deepen key sections, improve organization, and create a more meaningful experience for readers. What impressed me most was her ability to balance professionalism with encouragement. She identified areas for i...

Clint is THE best. Working with him was a terrific, seamless, and fun experience. Right away he understood my needs and responsed with multiple, imaginative, gorgeous concepts, all of which reflected the heart of my work. In addition, he was responsive and timely, working on an accelerated timeline due to my deadlines. In the end, I am thrilled with the final product and will not only recommend him to fellow writers, but also seek him out for future collaborations. I cannot recommend him high...

I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Kristen. Not only has she championed my novel as if it were her own, she’s also gone above and beyond to ensure it’s in the best possible shape for publication. Her feedback has been super helpful, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again in the future :) I’d definitely recommend her to any author looking for someone who approaches their book with passion, care and professionalism.

Beau's feedback was exactly what I needed to polish my novel. I was mainly looking for help sharpening some of my themes, as well as validation for the way I handled a diverse cast. Beau understood exactly what was needed and provided comments that made the story better, with enough explanation to be clear without going overboard. They also have a great ear for dialogue and pointed out places that were a bit awkward or clunky. All while being a great cheerleader throughout. I 100% recommend...

Kat is a fantastic editor. Knowledgable, insightful, and positive when it comes to making suggestions for enhancement in a constructive, concise, and considered way. She clearly lays out her approach and outlines the timeline, which she delivered against ahead of deadline. She was responsive and really helpful when considering options and I really valued her professional opinion and perspective. Thank you Kat, it's been great working with you.

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

I hired Rebecca Goldsmith to proofread my first book, and I could not have made a better choice. Rebecca's skills were impeccable, but what impressed me most was everything she did beyond what I hired her to do. As a first-time author, there were many things about the publishing process I simply didn't know. Rebecca took a genuine personal interest in both me and my book, spending extra time answering questions, offering guidance, and making sure I understood what I needed to do next. She w...

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

I honestly don’t even know where to start. Eric is the perfect collaborative partner. He adjusted his process to work with me, especially since I’m not an editor and my writing style is unconventional and deeply rooted in lived experience. Eric challenged me to think about things I hadn’t considered and served as a brilliant guide throughout the process. He showed genuine respect for my work while also being honest and thoughtful with his feedback. My advice, let him guide you. Trust his proc...

Jenn was amazing to work with. Her competency in style guidelines, industry practices, and narrative guidance was beyond my dreams. Her style sheet has become a staple in my writing going forward. Her feedback was so excellent, I decided to push my launch months back just to get in another round with her, and I'm so proud of the resulting book. I highly recommend working with her.

I can't say enough great things about Wesley. As someone with a packed schedule, I was nervous about how hands-on the design process would need to be, but Wesley made it completely effortless. Working with Wesley was one of the best decisions I made for my book. From the very start, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and required minimal direction, a rare quality that made the entire process seamless for a busy professional like me. He picked up on small cues and ran with them, k...

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.
