Candace exceeded every expectation I had for our collaboration. The maps and sketches she created for my book matched my genre's tone and feel requirements to perfection. I would go as far to say her art work improves my story! It's a really good feeling to work with such a talented artist as Candace. I'm looking forward to working with Candace again for book II & III of my trilogy. My dream will be when I can collaborate with Candace to do the maps for every chapter of my up-coming travel...

Working with Gary was an absolute game changer in my project. His attention to small mistakes were incredibly helpful for my project to feel smooth and nicer to read. He was incredibly supportive of my project and I am super happy to have worked with Gary and would definitely recommend and would love to work with on future projects.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

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...

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...

Working with Rachel on BIG A: Affordable Housing was one of the best decisions I made as a first-time author. I came into this process knowing my subject matter, but not knowing all the ins and outs of turning that knowledge into a polished, professional book. Rachel guided me through every step. She was far more than an editor. She made thoughtful suggestions that strengthened the book while respecting my voice and what I wanted BIG A to be. She helped me understand formatting, organization...

I was very impressed with the work Kristen did for me! Overall, my experience was great, as she delivered her edits quickly and efficiently while providing in-depth comments and suggestions. Since poetry is so subjective, I wanted an editor who would offer insight and edits without erasing my specific voice/style. And that she did! Kristen provided an editorial overview letter that pointed out my strengths and weaknesses and offered insight into the edits and suggestions she made throughout m...

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...

Working with Lisa Edwards on my first book was nothing short of transformative. She guided me through the entire process with respect, clarity, and a level of thoroughness that made me feel supported at every step. I deeply appreciated her time, her patience, and her genuine passion for the creative process. Lisa brings a rare combination of strengths: she understands both the creative side of storytelling and the technical side of publishing. That dual perspective shaped the kind of deep, in...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

Working with Svitlana was one of the best decisions I made for my book launch. She didn't just design a beautiful cover — she built the entire visual identity of my brand. For my second book, Permission Granted: The Inner Work That Makes Everything Else Possible, Svitlana delivered: Front cover, back cover, and full wraparound layouts (paperback + hardcover) Kindle and ACX audiobook covers Complete A+ Content design for Amazon (all 5 modules — approved on first submission) 3D book mockups on...

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Tom has helped me immensely with writing my fantasy novel. Were it not for him, I'd have taken much more time to get where I am today in the process, and with a lot more difficulty. He's a great guy and very professional, couldn't recommend him enough.

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

A deeply embodied, life-altering experience. Imagine an author finding it hard to express this experience in words!! That's how powerful it has been. I'm so grateful to Kate in helping me to shape my very first memoir, holding my story with so much compassion and reflecting back to me what I am capable of. I would absolutely do it all over again.
