Working with Daniel was a pleasure. His design was beautiful and captured exactly what I was hoping for. Whenever I asked for an edit to be made, he was responsive and happy to do it. When I had questions and needed clarification because this was my first book, he was there with both reassurance and confidence. He went above and beyond at the end of the project when I was very anxious about getting the book to print and made himself super available for last minute adjustments. I worked with b...

Lucia is amazing! I have used her for multiple edits now, and she never disappoints me, always going above and beyond. Never late, always responsive. Wonderful feedback and edits. I always expect my work to be nearly there after going through it thirty times, and Lucia still finds all my many, many mistakes I hadn't noticed. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

Megan created a cover that presents the suspense of my novel in a unique way, while also capturing a secret of the story. Megan is such a great communicator and I was never left wondering where we were in the project. I was proud to include her name as the designer of my cover in my published novel.

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...

Charlie was wonderful to work with very responsiveness , did everything I needed made great suggestions right to the end. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for his skill and professionalism.

Marta was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. She was always responsive and quickly responded to and implemented my feedback as we worked through each step of the process, while also applying her expertise and offering guidance on the design direction. If you're considering working with Marta, don't hesitate to submit a request!

I enjoyed my collaboration with Kourtney so much! She was responsive, kind, and willing to work with me and my ever-changing design ideas. Her art speaks for itself and I'm so grateful that my novel gets to live alongside it. If you get the chance to work with Kourtney, you won't regret it!

Working with Claire on my novel was a real pleasure! This was my first time taking a project to a professional copy editor and Claire made the process very straightforward, educational, and enjoyable. I found Claire great to work with - both before the project began, and after I had decided that I wanted to work with her. She made an effort to get to know both me and the project before we started work, and once the collaboration started she was extremely communicative which was reassuring - b...

My first experience working with an editor. Emily was great. Everything suggested made sense. Very knowledgeable, detailed, and I was amazed that she was well ahead of schedule. Nothing but good things to say.

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

Gale was a delight to work with. Everything was done on time as per the schedule I agreed to. She is completely professional. She not only gave helpful critiques on my work but also sent extra articles and sample queries, etc. that were useful to me. She answered all my questions and was pleasant and friendly. I would love to work with her again.

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Working with Lia was such an incredible experience. My memoir manuscript has evolved from jumbled, stream-of-consciousness storytelling to more streamlined, vivid, and concise. Given that I'm a first-time author, I wanted to work with someone who would give honest feedback while also highlighting what I'd done well already. Lia went above and beyond to provide insight on how I could make my writing better and left positive commentary throughout, too. She always responded quickly to inquiries,...

I have been writing children’s books for going on six years now and have experienced a myriad of professionals who have helped me get my business off the ground. But working with Steve is the first time that I’ve experienced such a condensed world of talent and knowledge of the book industry in one person. In many ways, he provides one stop shopping for an author. Not only does he have enormous talent for creating whimsical illustrations that appeal to children, he is also a book designer...

Working with John has been an outstanding experience. He brings a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to the process. His insights strengthened my manuscript, and his communication made every step smooth and enjoyable. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services.
