Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

Working with Joe has been an outstanding experience. His deep understanding of the full writing and editing process, combined with his responsiveness and thoughtful problem‑solving, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. He’s easy to collaborate with and consistently added value at every step. I highly recommend connecting with him to discuss your book project. Thank you, Joe, for all your hard work — it truly made a difference. Martin

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

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.

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

I can't say enough good things about Catherine. She took my messy first draft that was more stream of consciousness than a manuscript and transformed it into a book I am genuinely proud of. She has an exceptional ability to preserve an author's voice while bringing clarity, structure, and flow to the writing. Throughout the process, she was thoughtful, insightful, encouraging, and incredibly professional. I truly couldn't have asked for a better editor, and I wouldn't trust my work with anyon...

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

I always hoped I would have a very attractive design for my first book, but the level of quality I received from Samantha blew away all my expectations. Talk about top-notch professional quality that rivals and surpasses the fancy, traditionally published books I see on the shelves. My cover has brought the whole story to life and it makes me feel really good that I am starting off my career as an author with the best first impression I could ask for. Thank you so much!

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...

I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. I came to her with manuscripts for my children’s picture books, and her editorial input has been nothing short of brilliant. Every recommendation she made enhanced the story, sharpened the flow, and elevated the overall quality of the books in ways I couldn’t have achieved on my own. She has a real gift for understanding the heart of a story and helping it come through more clearly, while always respecting the author’s voice and vision. Working with h...

I am not a writer and have no experience with writing at this level. So I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked Justin because of his reviews and the thought he put into his response to my inquiry. I was 100% right. I wrote a lengthy explanation of what I was wanting to see and when I received my manuscript back, he incorporated all of those things and more. He really helped me put my memoir into perspective and I will absolutely be returning for a re-read. I would highly recommend Justin to a...

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

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...
