Vicky was insightful, active, and professional, delivering a very thorough plan that I could use to promote my book. She also answered any questions that I had, both throughout the process and after I received my marketing plan. I would absolutely recommend her!

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

I truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth. She understood the book. She identified many of the exact areas I had been uncertain about. She had read the entire manuscript closely and thoughtfully. As a beginner writer, I felt she did more than just edit the manuscript. She helped me see what was already working, what was missing, and what kind of book I really wanted to write. That is a tremendous insight that she gave me. She also provided a detailed letter to my specific questions about the...

Izabela is amazing! She quickly understood my vision and delivered a beautiful, professional design that elevated the entire book. The cover is beautiful, the interior layout is clean and polished, and communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. I’m thrilled with the results and I would go to her for anything I need on future projects. Highly recommend working with her!

Stephanie genuinely knows her stuff. Her work is immaculate and I could not recommend her enough. She worked to bring to life the vision I had and created the most gorgeous book cover I could ask for. I look forward to working with her on future projects!

Nira is an excellent editor with experience in the industry that comes through when she edits. I highly recommend!!

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

I can't say enough good things about working with Collette. She took the vision for my very first book Be Good to Yourself — a 100-day guided journal rooted in the dahlia as a symbol of blooming and radical self-compassion — and brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined. The color palette, the delicate line-art florals, the way she color-coded each phase of the journal with its own subtle tab system... every detail feels intentional and elevated. She has a genuine gift for translati...

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...

Working with Holly was an exceptional experience. This was my first book and my first time working with a professional editor, and I could not have asked for a better guide through the process. Holly treated my memoir with great care and respect while also being honest when she believed something could be stronger. Her comments were thoughtful and never felt like she was trying to rewrite my voice. Instead, she helped me better understand my own writing and why certain revisions would make th...

Allen is a pleasure to work with: he is thoughtful, imaginative, punctual and experienced (in web design and as a writer). He was very reasonable with his budget request and had always been very clear on what to expect. He was attentive to my wishes (as they evolved throughout the life of the project). He delivered what he promised, and he did it on time and stayed within budget. I will not hesitate to hire him for my new project, and I strongly recommend you do so as well. YR.

I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Kristen. Not only has she championed my novel as if it were her own, she’s also gone above and beyond to ensure it’s in the best possible shape for publication. Her feedback has been super helpful, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again in the future :) I’d definitely recommend her to any author looking for someone who approaches their book with passion, care and professionalism.

Alicia has been a pleasure to work with. She keeps me updated regularly and responds promptly to my questions. Her feedback on my initial work was incredibly valuable, providing me with the material and references I needed to move forward. I expressed my nerves about sharing my work, as it was my first time, and she reassured me that it was perfectly fine. We collaborated on the initial feedback professionally, which inspired me to expand my novella into a full novel. Overall, I am very happy...

Hannah is remarkably gifted in her creativity and ability to adapt to the genre in question. I've had no issues and only good experiences with Hannah. We were able to sort out our time differences (being on different sides of the globe) and align our busy schedules for meetings.

This is my second time working with Miriam, and as usual, her insight and edits are worth every penny. She's professional, thorough, and has an incredible eye for detail. If you're still on the fence after reading that, then let me just say this: My manuscript has received multiple full requests. If that's why you're here, then hire Miriam. (You're welcome.)
