I've worked with developmental editors before, but nothing like Hannah. She invested herself in my story, and the letter and manuscript she gave me had a perfect scaffolding for everything I could change and add. She wasn't a critic; she was a director, pulling out my talents, telling me when she wanted more, and politely marking areas for quick correction. She gave me confidence in what I was doing well and encouragement to dispel a lot of my personal doubts. I'm certain that if I follow her...

Working with Eva on the cover of Every Step of the Way was an amazing experience. She is incredibly creative and gave a face to my book, taking all of my ideas into account so that together we created something truly beautiful. She was kind, communicative, and incredibly patient throughout the process. I am so thankful we crossed paths—she treated my novel with the same care and respect that I hold for it, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. THANK YOU EVA <3

I can’t praise Jo too highly. She has helped me to turn my scribbling into something I can now submit to literary agents.

Working with Nina has been such a positive and productive experirence. Her knowledge and professionalism was of great benefit for me. It's my first time going through a process such as this, and it's been quite productive and beneficial. I appreciate her partnership in this process and will not hesitate to engage with her again, should the need arise.

Look no further! Blair is the real deal! As a first-time author, I could not have asked for a more supportive and trustworthy editor. Blair exceeded my expectations in every area and gave me greater confidence in my manuscript. Working with Blair on my first book was an incredible blessing. She truly felt like an angel God placed in my path. From the beginning, Blair was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my manuscript. She approached the deeply personal an...

Patsy produced such a gorgeous design for my upper middle-grade historical novel! This is a challenging category to illustrate because covers need to show the book is for young people without looking too childish, and showcase the historical setting while still looking "cool" to tween readers. Patsy took the time to read my manuscript, research the culture and then produced a design that exactly captured the atmosphere of the book. Over the weeks that we worked together, she was consistently...

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...

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.

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

As a first-time author, I didn't even know where to begin with cover and interior design and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Wesley. He was a pleasure to work with and gave me great advice and encouragement along the way. He was always available for my questions and always got back right away. I couldn't be happier with the finished product and will plan on using him for my next work. I would without reservation recommend him to anyone looking for the highest lev...

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend working with Jamie N. He is a top-notch artist, incredibly talented! His work is some of the finest high fantasy art I've ever seen. He is also incredibly responsive and polite, a pleasure to work with. The work was amazing, and finished ahead of schedule. Moreover, Jamie will go the extra mile. I gave him precise instructions on how I wanted the art to look, and he followed those instructions to the letter. However, when I saw my own idea ...

I expected a professional assessment of my memoir, Border Haze: A Cold War Illusion, and thoughtful recommendations for improving it. Mikayla gave me much more than that. Her work included detailed comments throughout the manuscript and a comprehensive editorial letter addressing the book as a whole. What impressed me most was how completely the two worked together. The letter identified themes, character arcs, structural patterns, and connections running throughout the manuscript. Her indiv...

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

Kourtney was an absolute delight to work with. I literally looked through hundreds of portfolios before I came across hers and knew instantly by her art style that she was perfect for my project. I knew the art would be exceptional, but I wasn't expecting someone who actually took what I was trying to do to heart and made every image more stunning than the last. She was beyond easy to communicate with, diligent in her efforts with keeping me up to date with where things were in the process, a...
