Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

I could not recommend Ellie enough!! She is an incredibly talented web designer, capable of bringing even your craziest visions to life, but more than that, she is just an absolute joy to work with!! She is professional, but has so much enthusiasm and passion for her craft. She is responsive, even whilst accommodating crazy time zone differences. Her work is incredibly high quality, and she even goes the extra mile to be sure that you have everything you could possibly need, including trainin...

Working with Joe has been an outstanding experience. His deep understanding of the full writing and editing process, combined with his responsiveness and thoughtful problem‑solving, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. He’s easy to collaborate with and consistently added value at every step. I highly recommend connecting with him to discuss your book project. Thank you, Joe, for all your hard work — it truly made a difference. Martin

Kate goes above and beyond on all collaborations. I've worked with her twice now. The editorial review she gave me amazing insights into how I could improve not just my current manuscript but my overall writing. Suggestions are always helpful with reasons given. The line/copy edit collaboration has helped me to improve tone and style, stop repetition and fix everything from grammar to insights into character, making my progression fantasy seem more real. Kate sprinkles support and helpful ...

First, I want to say what a delight it was to meet Ragav. He was extremely professional and gave the impression he loved his work. He produced an honest, insightful critic which was followed by an in depth discussion of the manuscript. I would highly recommend him as an editor without reservation.

Jonathan exceeded every expectation I had for a developmental editor. From the very beginning, he approached my memoir with genuine care, professionalism, and respect for my voice. Rather than rewriting my story, he strengthened it while preserving the heart and authenticity of my writing. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. He didn't simply point out areas for improvement—he explained his reasoning, offered valuable suggestions, and helped me become a better ...

Chandler was incredible to work with while editing my self-help book proposal. She was extremely thoughtful in both her written feedback on the document and in her communication with me throughout the process. I learned so much from her. She took the time to make sure I truly understood her edits and comments rather than just making changes and moving on. She also made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the process. Writing a book proposal can feel overwhelming, and her support, clarity, and enc...

Beau's feedback was exactly what I needed to polish my novel. I was mainly looking for help sharpening some of my themes, as well as validation for the way I handled a diverse cast. Beau understood exactly what was needed and provided comments that made the story better, with enough explanation to be clear without going overboard. They also have a great ear for dialogue and pointed out places that were a bit awkward or clunky. All while being a great cheerleader throughout. I 100% recommend...

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.

Zoe is a consummate professional. She has illustrated numerous books for me, and I can confidently say that Zoe has made my books better in ways that I never could have anticipated. I've learned through this process to simply let Zoe do Zoe. She gives each project a lot of thought and knows how to create a winning illustration to capture each moment. Highly recommend!

It was fantastic. High quality work, on time. Nothing to add, Alexandra is the best!

Where do I even begin with Sean? As a first-time author, I walked into this process nervous and honestly a little lost — and I walked out with a finished book I'm beyond proud of, and what feels like a lifelong friend. Sean is AMAZING. And I don't throw that word around. From day one, he treated my book like it was his own. This wasn't just editing — he helped me restructure, rewrite, and rethink pieces of my memoir in ways that made it so much stronger, and he did it all while protecting my...

Working with Laura was an excellent experience. She demonstrated a keen eye, great sensitivity, and strong technical mastery. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

Emily was awesome to work with. My manuscript came with very strict, non-negotiable guidelines—proofreading only, no editing—and she followed them perfectly. She delivered exactly what was asked for, ahead of schedule, with great attention to detail. She also flagged a few areas where clarity could be improved and asked for approval before making any changes. I plan to work with her again on my next manuscript without question.
