I could not recommend Martha highly enough. I came to her with a chaotic passion project and not much understanding of the industry or editorial process, and she went above and beyond in helping me understand exactly what my novel needed. The editorial assessment she produced was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and delivered on time, offering great value for money. What stood out most was how deeply Martha engaged with the work. She cared about my book’s strengths, its potential, and its...

Gabriella was a sharp, efficient editing partner on my government art grant application. She worked with my tight schedule for a quick turnaround and helped me submit everything by the deadline despite broader uncertainties. As a non-native English–speaking academic, I felt fortunate to be working with someone who shares an arts and humanities background and understands the nuance of academic writing. I especially valued how her editing feedback was clear, respectful, and explained her rea...

Working with Sarah-Beth was one of the best decisions I made in this publishing process. I came to her with a memoir that was deeply personal — years of life compressed into pages — and she handled it with care and professionalism from start to finish. What stood out most was her responsiveness. Every question I had, every file exchange, every revision — she turned things around quickly and kept the collaboration moving without me having to chase her down. That matters when you're self-publi...

Seth was truly amazing to work with. He took the time to understand our project goals and what we wanted to accomplish. From the initial discussions and outlining to the completed book, Seth was collaborative, responsive, and delivered a high-quality children's book on time. I recommend collaborating with Seth on your project!

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

I've seen some of Octavio's work before and they look amazing but he seriously blew me away with what he did for my project. You can tell he's a trust master of his craft and highly talented. He was also super easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone whose looking for an amazing illustrator.

Working with Cynthia has been one of the most rewarding parts of my writing journey. She brought clarity, precision, and genuine insight to every stage of the edit. Her developmental feedback strengthened the structure and emotional core of my story, and her line edits elevated the prose in ways I could feel immediately. She has an incredible gift for seeing both the big-picture narrative and the fine-grained details that make a scene sing. What impressed me most was her ability to understan...

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

Lucy was an absolute delight to work with for a developmental edit of my novel! She was a true professional in every aspect of the project - from communication, edits, to quality of work delivered. I was nervous about my first time working with an editor but it could not have been easier. Lucy clearly communicated what was to be expected and when. The notes she provided through her edit were thoughtful, insightful, and presented in a way that prevented me from getting overwhelmed. Her feedbac...

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.

I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to a developmental editor felt incredibly daunting, but Lucy made the whole experience enjoyable, supportive and inspiring. From the very beginning, she understood exactly where I wanted to take my book and helped me get there. She never tried to change my voice or make the book sound like someone else. Instead, she enhanced it, helping me express my ideas more clearly while keeping it authentically me....

Ed is an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. He was professional, sharp, detail-oriented, and brought my nonfiction book to the next level. His careful work was essential in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of my arguments and endnotes. For any new author looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of the final book, I highly recommend him. His contribution was invaluable.

With Travis you're getting a true pro and - importantly - candor. His feedback is direct, honest, and fair and immensely helpful whether looking at minor copy edits, structural emphasis, or the big picture of storytelling. He's got a great eye for what can take the story to the next level and I'm confident that he significantly elevated not just my work but my understanding of the craft.

This was my second book working with Mozelle. She is fantastic. I am never in the dark. I always know what to expect with her because of her great communication. I have learned so much with her. She doesn't just send back files and leave you to figure out anything. Her explanations are extremely thorough, and I really feel good with each interaction. I will hire her every time if I am able.

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...
