With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

John was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He understood the brief straight away and treated my manuscript with real care and respect, while still being confident enough to make smart, thoughtful edits. His work significantly improved the clarity, flow, and overall reader experience of my book, without ever diluting my voice. I especially appreciated the way he made the formatting more consistent and reader-friendly, and his simple but powerful suggestion to personalise ...

I couldn’t recommend Rebecca more highly as a developmental editor. She started with a one-to-one meeting to really understand the heart of the project before touching a single page — and that investment showed in everything that followed. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the story I was trying to tell, not a generic template. Beyond the big-picture developmental advice, she went through the manuscript line by line, adding comments and suggestions directly onto...

Working with Becky Wallace has been one of the greatest privileges of my journey as an author. Becky has masterfully edited the last three books in my series, and her work has elevated every aspect of my writing. She possesses a rare combination of sharp editorial precision, deep storytelling insight, and genuine respect for an author’s voice. Becky expertise isn't limited to correcting grammar or restructuring sentences, she will strengthen the heart of your story. Her edits consistently sh...

It was a pleasure to work with him. He gave some really sound advice, and I would recommend any author trying to get an agent, should go to him and get some help with the query letter. I've already had one bite so the proof is in the pudding! Thanks again, Matt!

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

Penelope is both thoughtful and witty -an absolute joy to work with. She took my manuscript of trash and helped give me the tools to progress it forward through honest feedback, clear examples and helping me to believe in myself. Working with Penelope is like hitting the jackpot of editors and I could not be more grateful.

Working with Ivy on my debut novel was an incredible experience. She was fast and responsive, but more importantly, she was deeply "in" the manuscript with me. Her attention to detail is extraordinary - she caught things I never would have spotted, and her feedback on everything from sentence flow to overall style was spot on. I consistently found myself thinking "that's absolutely right!" What really stood out was how intuitively she grasped my voice. Ivy didn’t just edit the book - I felt...

Gail did an amazing, top tier developmental edit and assessment for me! She is the real deal. Extremely professional. I highly recommend her!

Connor was very professional and helpful. Highly recommend him.

Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

I worked with different kinds of editors over the years. Music editors, cinematic editors, narrative editors — they all asked for a very precise labor: take a creation and elevate it in a way the author alone cannot. Sharpen the creator's voice and tighten the structure so the message is delivered clearly. Alexandra is gifted with both rigour, analytical view and deep human observation. She is generous and rigorous — a gift for any author who wants to enhance their creation.

Working with Tania was such a positive experience. Over the six months we worked together, she was incredibly personable and made me feel like she was invested not only in my novel, but in me as a writer. We had wonderful conversations that sometimes went beyond the manuscript itself, and she regularly recommended articles, podcasts, and other novels that helped me think more deeply about what I was writing and what I wanted the book to become. Her biggest contribution to my novel actually ca...

Working with Marian was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. No question ever felt too small, and she was always happy to explain things and offer guidance. She truly understood my vision and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. She never hesitated to make changes or adjustments and was so thoughtful and collaborative throughout the process. I always felt heard a...

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...
