I hired Ciera to do a final proofread on my novel, after two other editors had their eyes on it. Well, she found the mistakes they missed, and she ensured my work was a professional product. She was responsive, delivered ahead of time, and gladly looked at two additional scenes I had rewritten. She's a pro and every author needs someone like Ciera to check their work.

Dora has produced eleven drawings all of excellent quality making sense of my script and often working without one. Her drawings bring life to my script and add meaning, Dora always worked in a cooperative friendly manner and was always amenable to any changes or alterations I asked for. I would certainly ask her to work for me again and would recommend her to anyone.

Zennor provided a thoughtful, rigorous editorial assessment that engaged seriously with both the strengths and structural challenges of my manuscript. Her feedback was clear, specific and respectful of voice, with particularly helpful insights into pacing, repetition and narrative arc. I found the report both encouraging and demanding in the right ways, and it’s given me a strong framework for revision. I’d happily recommend her to authors looking for honest, professional feedback.

You cannot do better than Sara, so don't bother trying! I initially chose to work with her because she was the only editor who showed actual excitement for my project, and that was a choice well made. Sara is genuinely passionate about your story, your characters, and her work as an editor. She truly wants to see your story become the best it can be and strikes an excellent balance between encouraging the parts of your writing that are strong and giving constructive criticism on the parts tha...

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

I consider Maite of Copper Fox a champion in my career as a writer. That is how powerful she is. She combines hard-won expertise in brand story, strategy, and design with deep knowledge of an author's branding, readership, and book sales. Every step was explained to me. Every piece of the strategy was outlined for me. Though I am thrilled with the incredible look and feel of my website, I also feel confident knowing that this site checks all the strategy boxes, designed to tell the right stor...

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

This is my second book with David, and once again his editing is exceptional. For developmental editing, his feedback is always spot-on, thoughtful, honest, and encouraging. He clearly understands the voice of the story, and his insightful suggestions provided a clear roadmap for revisions. In copy editing and line editing, his meticulous attention to details combined with his thoughtful push for more clarity and consistency has beautifully elevated the book. I look forward to working with hi...

Shaun was friendly, patient, and accommodating. What more could you want?

Truly exceptional experience. Miriam gave me insightful, thorough, actionable advice and renewed enthusiasm for a project I'd considered abandoning. This was very good value for the money and honestly one of the better professional investments I've made.

Brandi was absolutely wonderful to work with! She did an outstanding job on my project, and I am beyond impressed with her creativity and professionalism. I am so pleased with her work that I’ll be using her for all ten book covers in my Born of Kings series. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone looking for top-quality design and a smooth, enjoyable collaboration.

Working with Sarah on my YA novel was such a positive experience. Right from the start she was highly responsive and engaged in my story premise. This was my first experience with a professional editor and Sarah answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Most importantly, the developmental edits Sarah returned were invaluable! Sarah's edits were detailed, thorough and delivered so thoughtfully. Her attention to detail really stood out to me, as did her ability to deliver feedback in a c...

Chiara was great and listened to what I wanted. She was responsive and finished work on time. I enjoyed working with her!

I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with Nate throughout the entire process of bringing my first book into fruition. From the get go, it was 100% clear that Nate read my book thoroughly, and really understood the intention of my book. Nate then put what was essentially in my brain onto the pages without me having to be overly explanatory about what I was trying to depict through the illustrations, which was greatly appreciated. Through his beautiful illustrations and book design, he t...

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...
