I recommend India for her outstanding work and professionalism. She was thorough, detail-oriented, and always responded promptly to any of my questions. Her communication was clear, efficient, and reliable throughout the entire editing process. Her suggestions and corrections were invaluable in refining my manuscript. She not only improved the clarity and flow of the text but also enhanced the overall quality of the book. I would not hesitate to work with India again. She has a wonderful wa...

I hired Bonnie for both copy editing and interior book design for my nonfiction book, Stop Stealing From Yourself, and I'm glad I found someone who does both well. Bonnie was timely, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. She answered my questions clearly and never made me feel like I was asking too much. What stood out most was her willingness to accommodate small changes even toward the end of our contract — that kind of flexibility matters when you're finalizing ...

I congratulate myself for hiring Lisa to write an editorial assessment of my self-help manuscript for fellow people with disabilities. My interaction with her were professional and warm. As part of her recommendations, she confirmed some of my instincts about what might have to be reworked, and some new aspects that I couldn't see for having been so close to my work for a long time, This helped me decide that teaming up with an editor who has more distance from it, and all the writing and pub...

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...

Rebecca was fantastic! She helped me hash out all my questions about the book’s structure and how it may fit into the unfamiliar publishing industry. She was quick, reliably responsive and I have no concerns. I’ll be back for a developmental edit!

As a writer, our stories are precious to us. Reaching out to someone to bring that to life can be difficult for the artist. We have expectations, visions already in place. Rachel not only met my vision, but she exceeded it. These are not just words. She is extremely talented and a joy to work with. I would not only recommend her to everyone and anyone, but also come back again and again.

Karolina is professional and polite. I can't say enough good things about working with her. From the beginning, she was clear about what she could offer based on my needs. I appreciated her outline which helped me visualize the workflow and the outcomes. Our communication was steady, open, and friendly. I truly felt heard and seen as an artist and I enjoyed the small ways we overlapped in our personal lives and values. Her book covers were all amazing which made it difficult to choose (the si...

I'm so glad I hired J to do a developmental edit on my debut novel. She's communicative, thorough, and enthusiastic. In addition to advising me on structural hiccups like incomplete transitions and underdeveloped plot points, she corrected some typos and grammatical errors that I'd overlooked. She also took the time to answer the questions I had about her editorial suggestions. I highly recommend working with her!

Claire is a writer's dream editor and proofreader. Her thorough attention to detail and responsiveness are reassuring for new authors like myself who value an expert's guidance and support. She also clearly read every word for meaning and clarity in addition to providing thoughtful comments and questions. I would work with her again without hesitation!

Deborah was incredible to work with! I am so impressed with the quality of her work, her thoroughness, her notes, and how easy it was to work with her. I have been so lost in this process, and she has been beyond patient, professional, kind, and extremely responsive. I can't say enough good things about her!! I just loved working with her!

I had a great experience working with Daniel on The One-Star Guest. From the beginning, he understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the book and, just as importantly, understood my voice and sense of humor. His feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely improved the manuscript without trying to turn it into something it wasn’t. He pointed out areas that needed work, offered smart suggestions, and gave me the freedom to decide what ultimately belonged in the book. I used ...

Working with Duncan was a very positive experience. He approached the manuscript with a high level of care and respect for the voice of the work. His edits focused on clarity, flow, and consistency without altering the underlying tone or philosophy. What stood out most was his ability to recognize what the writing was doing and support it rather than reshape it. His suggestions, especially around paragraph structure and readability, made the material more accessible while keeping the integrit...

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

Working with Zennor has been one of the most important parts of my memoir journey so far. I came to her with a very personal manuscript containing themes of adoption, grief, addiction, motherhood, and belonging, and she held both me and the work with exceptional care. Her feedback was insightful, encouraging, and incredibly perceptive. She helped me see where the story needed to slow down, where important moments deserved more space, and where the deeper threads of the book were waiting to b...

This was my first novel, and I wanted an editor who could handle copy editing, line editing, and proofreading with efficiency, professionalism, and a sharp eye—someone who wouldn’t hesitate to mark up my manuscript. I found exactly that in Jenny. She was always available, clear in her communication, and incredibly generous with her knowledge. Throughout the process, she explained not only her editing choices but also broader writing principles, so I came away a better writer with every rou...
