Josiah was my first hire for my first book, and though I was skeptical about hiring an editor at first, he has shown me that the price is well worth it. From the moment he gave me an example of his work, I knew this was the correct choice, and after receiving the final draft and his input on how to improve, I can honestly say that I hope to hire him again in the future.

Pamela did an outstanding job translating my novel and this was on time and at a very competitive price. I used a lot of idiomatic phrases involving comedy and she did an excellent job finding the right German expression. She also translated the metadata on top. I thoroughly recommend working with Pamela and I will most certainly work with her again if I need another novel translated into German.

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?

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

Working with Jenny has been a dream of mine. And even though my expectations were quite high, she exceeded every single one of them. What I appreciated the most is how open she was to every idea, suggestion, or request. I would 100% work with her again. Actually, I know for sure I will!

Chandler was incredible to work with while editing my self-help book proposal. She was extremely thoughtful in both her written feedback on the document and in her communication with me throughout the process. I learned so much from her. She took the time to make sure I truly understood her edits and comments rather than just making changes and moving on. She also made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the process. Writing a book proposal can feel overwhelming, and her support, clarity, and enc...

Savannah was professional, very communicative, efficient and understanding. It was clear she read my manuscript thoroughly and carefully. Her report was brimming with great suggestions and examples of modifications it would be well to make. She was kind, first telling me what worked and thoughtfully even giving me a plan on how to procede. Great value! Great experience! Will use her again.

Working with Michelle was one of the best decisions I made in bringing The Modern Grandparent to publication. I came to her with a book and a companion workbook that I had already revised many times on my own, along with a detailed style sheet full of rules that are not standard. Michelle honored every one of those choices. Her edits were careful and consistent across both manuscripts, which mattered to me because the workbook has to mirror the book chapter by chapter. She caught the kinds ...

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

This is my first novel and Patricia was amazing. Love her work and she is such a pleasure to work with! We completed our initial contract. However, we are collaborating on creating a back cover for this book. The work has been brought to life and I'm so excited. Highly reccommend!

This is my first manuscript, a very personal one. So I was a bit nervous about receiving feedback, but Anna was super supportive, kind, and professional throughout her review; I had nothing to worry about. I felt seen. My characters were read thoroughly; I can see the manuscript was edited with the same care and investment that I put into writing it. I'm very grateful for her work and would definitely recommend working with her.

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Working with Allan was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I came to him with a vision, a lot of ideas, and a manuscript that meant a great deal to me. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and then took it in a creative direction beyond my expectations. He didn't just design the interior of Design Schooled - he elevated it. Allan is exceptionally talented, responsive, and always delivered on time. Throughout the process, I felt completely confident that my project was in...

Ceileigh has been incredible to work with! She took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish with the story (and the books that will follow) to make sure they will tie together. Her developmental edit shed light on things I had missed touching on, suggestions on how to improve the impact in certain areas, what scenes felt unearned, and provided positive feedback on the things I did well. Since this is my first book I didn't know what to expect, but any expectation I did have she...

I loved working with Victoria. Collaborating with her was a blast. She absolutely "got" my vision for the project, and everyone who has seen the cover has been blown away. I would absolutely hire her again.
