The whole process was a joy. I have no complaints. Robin is helpful, quick to answer any questions, and above all expert at what she does. Comunication was wonderful. She provided updates all along the way. The work was done on time. It really comes across that she cares for what she does and cares for you and your writing. If I write another book I will be happy to work with her again knowing that she will make the book better.

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

Working with Nina Bruhns was a fantastic learning experience from beginning to end, and one I would recommend without hesitation to any writer, but especially to debut authors finding their footing. As a first-time novelist, I wasn't entirely sure what professional editorial feedback would look like or how it would feel to receive it. Nina understood exactly where I was in the writing process and met me there with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. She provided two invaluable doc...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

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...

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.

I can’t say enough good things about Mozelle. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She is a consummate professional. The assignment was a difficult one: proofreading a 375-page memoir that intentionally breaks many traditional rules of punctuation and formatting in order to preserve the author’s voice and style. Mozelle paid extremely close attention to every detail. She understood the difference between something that needed correcting and something that was an intentional stylistic ...

James is a master of his craft and so easy to work with. What I loved most about James was he brought some fantastic ideas for me to go through and see which I ultimately loved and said let's go with it because it's unique and will stand out. I absolutely have nothing bad to say about James as he was friendly, on schedule and always brought ideas which made it easy for me to make decisions vice trying to guide him to design something that I'm not qualified to do. Will I work with him aga...

Working with Ellie has been an excellent experience. At the beginning, I thought I was simply hiring someone to build a website. As the project developed, I realized she was doing much more than that. She was helping transform my vision into reality. She took the time to understand what I was trying to build and brought professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care throughout the process. She helped shape the website and the digital presence surrounding my book, and I am extremely ...

Melissa was very prompt and professional throughout the process. She provided a clear outline of the type of work she'd be doing and made it clear she was available for questions throughout. Her work was detailed and thorough; she even made a few remarks on story issues that went above and beyond the scope of the project. Would highly recommend!

Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

Marta has been a great pleasure to work with! She understood exactly what I wanted to convey from the cover, she was responsive, delivered in the promised time frame and was very kind and helpful overall. I am definetely going to work with her again; the cover of my upcoming novel looks amazing, I am very happy.
