Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

Emily was awesome to work with. My manuscript came with very strict, non-negotiable guidelines—proofreading only, no editing—and she followed them perfectly. She delivered exactly what was asked for, ahead of schedule, with great attention to detail. She also flagged a few areas where clarity could be improved and asked for approval before making any changes. I plan to work with her again on my next manuscript without question.

This is the second time I have worked with Steve. My appreciation for his work is a 10. Thank you, Steve!

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!

Everything about working with Maria was first rate. She was professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and crystal clear as she walked me through her process and the optimization of my book's metadata. She fully understood what I was looking for and delivered ahead of schedule. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

What a great experience this was! As a first-time author, it far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know what to expect, or just how much her guidance would elevate my manuscript. She led me through the process with kindness and skill—not only helping improve the book itself, but helping me grow as a writer. She genuinely cared about both my story and my success as an author. Highly recommended.

First, I want to say what a delight it was to meet Ragav. He was extremely professional and gave the impression he loved his work. He produced an honest, insightful critic which was followed by an in depth discussion of the manuscript. I would highly recommend him as an editor without reservation.

India completed my line edit ahead of schedule, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work. In addition to the careful line-level editing I expected, she provided valuable commentary on the middle-grade voice and identified areas where I should consider making changes. Her observations were consistently insightful and right on target. I know the manuscript will be significantly stronger once I have incorporated her recommendations. India was thoughtful, thorough, and clearly unde...

I can't say enough great things about Wesley. As someone with a packed schedule, I was nervous about how hands-on the design process would need to be, but Wesley made it completely effortless. Working with Wesley was one of the best decisions I made for my book. From the very start, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and required minimal direction, a rare quality that made the entire process seamless for a busy professional like me. He picked up on small cues and ran with them, k...

As a debut author, my first editorial experience with Donna far exceeded my expectations. She delivered ample feedback that will serve to make the work stronger along with specific rationale as to why she would make such changes, yet was clear about the boundary between editorial direction and authorial decisions. I very much appreciated the time she took to walk me through the changes and willingness to discuss other considerations about the manuscripts I had sent to her for review. Any auth...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

First of all, I have never done one of these before, and this was a completely new experience for me. I am a first time aspiring author, trying to tell my story to the best of my ability. I had originally had 5 offers, and as they fell off one at a time due to certain constraints on different editors, Larry, at first had declined the project. At second glance he decided to help me, because he had told me in his own words over a zoom call, that the words had moved him in a way that he hadn't f...

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Dora was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process and even offered support afterward for formatting edits. Her work is incredible and I'm so happy with the final product. Collaborating with her was a breeze and she truly brought my vision to life. Communication was great and constant throughout. She kept me up to date throughout the entire process. It was amazing to be able to bounce ideas and different visuals back and forth. I highly recommend Dora!!

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?
