Jaime was great! She is easy to work with and responds quickly. She made sure to follow up with me ahead of the date the work was supposed to start to see if I had any questions and confirm the timeline. Her edits are thoughtful and professional. She truly wants to see her client's books succeed and even took the time to review my book blurb and second epilogue, which I didn't finish until later on. I would definitely recommend her as an editor.

Stephanie is an absolute treasure of a human being! She made this first-time process go smoothly and worked with me on everything from payment to edits. I will definitely use her again and will recommend others to her who require her perfect skills! Thank you again Steph!

Joy was a "joy" to work with. She was professional, fast, thorough, and brought great insights to the project. She went above and beyond the scope of work. I highly recommend her.

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!

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...

Edyta is a talented artist and created a whimsical and wonderful illustration for a project I'm working on. Excited to work with her again!

Working with Grace has been one of the best decisions I've made for my manuscript and for myself as a writer. She is both sharp and genuinely enthusiastic for the work. She caught things I hadn't seen, but just as importantly, she confirmed things I felt but was unsure about. That second part matters more than I expected. Having her reflect my own instincts back with confidence has pushed me to be a better writer. Beyond the editorial work itself, working with Grace feels easy. Professional,...

Working with Olga was an excellent experience. She went above and beyond, showing remarkable patience to ensure the cover was absolutely perfect - and the result exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, she was friendly, communicative, and receptive to every request for revision. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her.

Kate goes above and beyond on all collaborations. I've worked with her twice now. The editorial review she gave me amazing insights into how I could improve not just my current manuscript but my overall writing. Suggestions are always helpful with reasons given. The line/copy edit collaboration has helped me to improve tone and style, stop repetition and fix everything from grammar to insights into character, making my progression fantasy seem more real. Kate sprinkles support and helpful ...

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...

Mozelle was able to take my ramblings and give me the insight and ideas I needed to create a coherent story. Her work was well beyond my expectations. The developmental edit was amazing. She was prompt and responsive to all my needs and everything was done in a timely fashion. Her thoughtfulness was evident in each correspondence/interaction we had. I will continue to utilize her services in my future works and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and thoughtful editor.

Working with Olga on the Spanish translation of The Anxious Girls’ Guide: Finding Your Calm and the Inner Calm Planner was a truly rewarding experience which I am sincerely grateful for. Olga brought genuine clinical intelligence to a complex project. The Tourist vs. Roommate anxiety framework required more than linguistic skill — it required real clinical understanding — and Olga demonstrated that from the very first sample page. Framework terminology, technique names, and the warm teen-fri...

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Nicola was SO wonderful to work with! She very quickly responded to me, set a finish date, and finished *before* said date, which was wonderful. But most importantly, she sent me the most thoughtful notes that dove into plot, structure, character development, age range, marketability, and more. Everything I needed to know to help me make it the best it can possibly be! She even shared which house she thought it could be the best fit for, which I so appreciated. And she was just so lovely with...
