It was fantastic working with Nicola. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of the editing work. She demonstrated a strong understanding of the content and offered thoughtful suggestions. This genuinely enhanced the clarity and flow. Communication throughout was timely and smooth. Nicola provided clear explanations and changes. I would highly recommend Nicola's services and would definitely use her services again if needed. Nicola is skilled, reliable and very frie...

This is my second time working with Eleanor and it won't be my last! Her attention to detail is fantastic, and she went the extra mile in confirming facts I'd referenced. This was the second book in a series and had some elements of magic, and I loved that she was on the lookout for consistency in the magic system and suggested clarifying certain details for the reader. I also really appreciate that when she suggests reworking a sentence, she frames it as a suggestion—not a must—recognizin...

Conni was the developmental editor for my first book, and the experience exceeded what I'd hoped for going in. From our initial kickoff call she was clear about expectations, scope, and timeline, and she held to every commitment she made along the way. Her assessment document was thoughtfully organized and substantive - the kind of feedback that gives you a real path forward rather than a vague sense that something needs work. She had a particular gift for knowing when to push me to narrow my...

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 ...

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

Brent was extraordinarily helpful getting my novel polished. I really felt like his experience was perfect for my dual-timeline horror story, and he provided insightful structural feedback on character development and helped eliminate inconsistencies. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would work with him again.

This is my second book with Nicola, and I am so glad I came back to work with her. Not only did she bring my characters and story to life in whimsical beautiful way, but she was also responsive and delightful to work with the whole way. I had so many doubts and worries when I started the illustration process the first time, Nicola took all those away with her care, professionalism, creativity, and talent. This time, I had no worries because I knew working with Nicola again would be better tha...

This is my first time writing a book and I am SO glad I chose Wayne to illustrate the picture book. He is AMAZING! #1 - I love his art. He really brings the story to life in ways I wouldn't have ever thought of. Also, I noticed that while a lot of the other illustrators had lovely drawings, but a bunch of them felt the same. Wayne's really just called to me and felt unique and one off for the books. #2 - Wayne is great to work with. He had some great suggestions on the book that real...

Working with Cassandra was an absolute joy! She brought so much care, attentiveness, and professionalism to every step of the process. I felt truly seen and supported throughout, and the quality of her work speaks for itself. I can’t recommend her enough - she made something deeply personal even more powerful, and I’ll always be grateful for that!

Rachel absolutely nailed everything! She was extremely communicative, very friendly, and overall just so fun to work with. The cover art she delivered was incredible and feels as if it were just plucked from my head. I literally could not be happier with it. I cannot wait to work with her again on the rest of this series! I highly recommend Rachel for her cover art, you'd be making a wonderful choice to add her to your book team.

Shannon was such a joy to work with! She poured so much heart and creativity into my book, and her illustrations brought the story to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She was professional, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and fun. I especially appreciated how invested she was in the story itself—it truly felt like a collaboration. I’m so grateful for her talent and care, and I would absolutely work with her again!

Rachel is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her. She's professional, diligent, detailed, smart, and flexible. Her efforts greatly improved the quality of our non-fiction book product. Thank you, Rachel! I'm already looking forward to a future project with you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ethan was wonderful to work with! He was professional, prompt, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. He brought clarity and structure to our project while still respecting our voice and vision. Communication was always easy, and he delivered high-quality work right on time. I would absolutely recommend working with Ethan and hope to collaborate again in the future! —Stacy M.

I handed Daniel a manuscript and a whole lot of nervous energy. He handed back a beautifully formatted book — and, more importantly, a sense of calm I didn't expect. From day one, he provided FAQs and clear guidance that made the process transparent and approachable. His responsiveness and genuine support throughout the project turned what could have been a stressful first self-publishing experience into something I actually enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...
