There is no better illistrator that I could ever hope to find than Shaun Friend. His work is masterful, beautiful, breath taking. He is also easy to work with. He was responsive to all my imputs and all the illistrations were completed on time.

My choice of Melissa for my Developmental Editor could not have been more perfect for my debut novel! I am so impressed by her ability to understand the concept of the story but to also "hear" my voice and then apply what she understands to the editing. I am totally in line with her suggestions and am having a good time expanding the story to include them. I think it will be a much better "read" with these revisions. She has been a tremendous asset to my project and I look forward to the poss...

I worked with James for about six months on a developmental edit and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. I'll note the extended duration was based on my delayed turnaround time for various elements. I found James to be incredibly responsive, and the process was considerably more collaborative than anticipated since I'm based in the U.S. and he's in the U.K. Without question, he made the work stronger - both with the large-scale structural elements as well as with small-scale language...

Ruth was absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only did she deliver her edit even earlier than scheduled, but the feedback she provided was both precise and thoughtful. Her keen eye for detail helped elevate the language without ever losing the original tone of the manuscript. As an editor myself, I deeply appreciated how carefully she respected the text’s voice while still improving clarity and flow. Every suggestion felt considered and purposeful, never overbearing. Her communication thr...

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

Daniel was collaborative, professional and communicated wonderfully during the entire process. His illustration work went well above my expectations as I wasn't sure what to expect being this was my first time. I highly recommend his work and was beautiful to see how your characters come to life. I would work with Daniel again, no questions asked. I will definitely be back.

Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

Travis was a pleasure to work with. Not only did he provide two separate annotated manuscripts and thoughtful analysis of my work, he also met me with me one-on-one over video to help me develop my story into a much stronger version. Additionally, there was an option for a second meeting that I was unable to make happen by our deadline. Instead, Travis offered for me to send any questions I had for him in a doc where he could provide feedback. Not only did he answer my questions, but he provi...

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From our initial communication through project completion, he maintained exceptional professionalism throughout the entire process. The quality of his line editing was outstanding. He caught inconsistencies, improved sentence flow, and tightened my prose without losing my voice as an author. The manuscript came back significantly stronger while still feeling authentically mine. I would definitely recommend Kevin to other authors looking for pr...

Kristen was phenomenal to work with. She helped guide me through the process and never complained when I would ask additional questions. I look forward to working with her again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Editor — Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way Working with Patricia has been one of the highlights of my publishing journey. She went truly above and beyond in every aspect of the editing process. Not only was she incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but she was deeply involved from beginning to end. She read my manuscript more times than I ever expected an editor would — and each pass brought new insights, clarity, and improvements that elevated the entire book. Pat...

Dom has a long list of excellent reviews for good reason. He is the consummate professional, an active listener, a coach, and a cheerleader, imploring you to achieve better results. AI cannot replicate his counsel. 6 stars!

Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...
