I give Nina Roy the highest marks possible in all areas. She's simply amazing and I cannot say enough great things about her. Her work far exceeded my expectations- she praises what is good and takes the time and care to discuss what doesn't. Her suggestions about how to fix problem areas are of great help to me. Nina is so thorough and all her communqués just bubble with dedication to be of service too her client. I think she's a fabulous asset to my book and well worth the money that was re...

Jane was a valuable resource for the developmental and copy edit of my nonfiction manuscript. Her suggestions clarified and improved the impact of my message. She communicated well and completed all assignments on time. I highly recommend!

This is for first-time novelists. I consider myself very lucky to have found Emma. As a debut novelist with a wicked case of impostor syndrome, she turned out to be the perfect therapy: a brilliant editorial eye for what matters, sensitive to preserving your voice, always encouraging, but with an attention to detail you can count on. This review is something she hasn’t had a chance to edit, and I think we can all agree it has suffered as a result. People who write about impostor syndrome—or ...

Working with Sarah has been an absolute pleasure. She is an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful editor who combines professionalism with genuine care for the author’s work. Her edits on “Stigma in Dementia Care” were precise, insightful, and respectful of my voice and academic intent. She provided clear guidance on structure, tone, and flow while helping me tighten the text and meet journal requirements without losing depth or meaning. Sarah’s communication was always prompt, warm, and enco...

I'm the queen of the typos, have a problem with ....s and ,s, and Jennifer had all the right answers in her red pen. She was easy to work with and responsive. I couldn't be happier with her work product and her work ethic. I enjoyed working with her from my nervously handing over my book to her handing it back with clear, focused edits.

Working with Sarah was one of the most important decisions I made in bringing this book to life. She read my manuscript with honesty, precision, and genuine care — not just as an editor but as someone who understood what I was trying to say and helped me say it better. Her notes were direct, specific, and always in service of the story. She never tried to change my voice. She just helped me find where it was strongest and pushed me toward that. If you are serious about your book and want some...

Working with Holly and Agustin has been a genuine pleasure. When I asked to connect with both of them, I was met by two people who are deeply invested in the project, care about the details, and are always willing to help. Their dedication really shows. I'll absolutely be working with them again — and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Cheers!

Working with Cindy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her developmental editing went far beyond surface-level feedback. She approached my manuscript with the insight of a true craftsperson, combining narrative intuition with a teacher’s depth of understanding. Cindy’s assessment was remarkably detailed and constructive, providing both high-level story guidance and precise commentary on structure, pacing, and character development. What impressed me most was the educational va...

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work with Bryn. Her edits and recommendations were on point and helped me achieve a level of polish on my manuscript I didn't think I would be able to reach. She was both thorough and speedy delivering more than I had expected in a short window of time. I will definitely be coming back to her for help on future projects. I can not say enough about what a pleasure she was to work with.

Devon went above and beyond on the editing project for my historical fiction book. I really appreciated her superb attention to detail and consistency, as well as her professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process. She even completed the work a full week ahead of schedule. Highly recommended!

Vincent was brilliant. He was meticulous and thorough. He eye for detail was extraordinary. He was also responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. He completed everything early. My book was much better for having Vincent involved. I cannot imagine his not being involved on my next book. Really a great experience. Thanks!

Katt is an extremely talented artist. I love the work he did for me and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next book.

Working with Maria D’Marco was an absolute gift. From the start, she stepped into the project not just as a developmental editor, but as a true creative partner. She invested herself fully, diving deep into the historical and emotional layers of the novel, and consistently offered insight that was both sharp and deeply empathetic. At a critical point in the process, Maria gently but clearly identified a flaw in the adversary’s character arc that I had struggled with for months. Her guidance ...

Working with Patsy has been a wonderful experience. She checks all the boxes when it comes the usual stuff – talent, professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and communication. But Patsy provides more. She’s inspired and imaginative. She's a full-fledged creative partner. Near the start of our latest project, she said her goal was to bring out the “delightful tenderness” of the story. With those two words, I sensed she understood the emotional spirit of the book better than I ...

Conrad did an amazing job. His insights were sharp, with a clear focus on each item that merits attention. His suggestions were clear, simple to implement, and always showed a great degree of objectivity. I wrote screenplays for several years. The professionals who provided feedback in the industry were ruthless to the point of being simply rude and destructive. It always felt as if their job was to systematically destroy your confidence as a writer instead of providing objective feedback. ...
