Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

Working with Victory on a partial manuscript review was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I approached Victory at a very early stage of the first draft of my novel, because I needed feedback on what was working and what wasn't so that I didn't back myself into a corner before I kept going. Victory was more than happy to meet me where I was. From our first conversation, she communicated clearly, set realistic expectations, and made sure she understood both my goals for the story ...

Maria was quick and responsive, and her notes, not just on BISACs but general formatting of copy on promotional material, was great! I'll definitely be working with her on future installments of my series.

Working with Ken was such a great experience! As a first-time author, I had plenty of questions, ideas, and moments where I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, but he was patient, supportive, and professional throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was how open he was to feedback. We went through several iterations of the chapter design, and he never once made me feel bad about asking for changes. Instead, he worked with me until the design felt like the perfect fit for the book....

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend working with Jamie N. He is a top-notch artist, incredibly talented! His work is some of the finest high fantasy art I've ever seen. He is also incredibly responsive and polite, a pleasure to work with. The work was amazing, and finished ahead of schedule. Moreover, Jamie will go the extra mile. I gave him precise instructions on how I wanted the art to look, and he followed those instructions to the letter. However, when I saw my own idea ...

Alan has now completed a few projects for me, and he is the best. He is responsive, professional, and always does an incredible job.

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

Clint is THE best. Working with him was a terrific, seamless, and fun experience. Right away he understood my needs and responsed with multiple, imaginative, gorgeous concepts, all of which reflected the heart of my work. In addition, he was responsive and timely, working on an accelerated timeline due to my deadlines. In the end, I am thrilled with the final product and will not only recommend him to fellow writers, but also seek him out for future collaborations. I cannot recommend him high...

Lisa Kaitz is, without question, the finest editor I have worked with—and I say that having collaborated with more than ten editors across multiple books. She is exceptionally focused, remarkably attentive to even the smallest details, and consistently thoughtful in her editorial judgment. Like all truly great editors, Lisa is loyal first and foremost to the reader. She challenged me when necessary, strengthened the narrative at every level, and worked tirelessly to help me produce the strong...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

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...

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

Sarah was wonderful to work with throughout the publishing process of my memoir. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. As a first-time independent author using IngramSpark, I greatly appreciated her guidance, attention to detail, and calm professionalism during what could have been a very overwhelming process. She helped bring my book to life and made me feel confident moving forward with publication. I truly value her dedication and highly recomme...

Working with Joan was a blast. She was friendly, always helpful, and quick to respond (even with a 7 hour timezone difference). As a first-time Indie author, I've learned so much from her. I can't wait for our next collaboration!

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...
