Collette was an absolute gift to help bring my book to life. She took my vision and made it a reality. Collette brought ease to a process that can sometimes feel overwhelming and I can't recommend her enough. Her attentiveness, responsiveness and kindness went above and beyond. I am filled with gratitude.

Kat was fantastic, extremely professional and knowledgeable. Was able to provide structured feedback. Did what she said she was going to do. Qualty was great. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I look forward to our next project together

I consider Maite of Copper Fox a champion in my career as a writer. That is how powerful she is. She combines hard-won expertise in brand story, strategy, and design with deep knowledge of an author's branding, readership, and book sales. Every step was explained to me. Every piece of the strategy was outlined for me. Though I am thrilled with the incredible look and feel of my website, I also feel confident knowing that this site checks all the strategy boxes, designed to tell the right stor...

I hired Kate to do an editorial assessment of my memoir. I chose her based on the excellent reviews she’s received and her experience with this genre. Working with Kate met—and exceeded—my already high expectations. The more I sit with her thorough and detailed assessment, the more my understanding of my story's strengths and how I can improve it deepens. Kate brought depth, sensitivity, and considerable skill to the process. She gave me invaluable high‑level direction along with practical, c...

Marina designed my memoir. A private, cloth-bound edition of eight: 220 pages, full color, more than sixty archival photographs, and a printed dust jacket. She did all of it. Interior layout, image restoration, jacket design, endpapers, cloth and deboss specifications. Then she took on the printing herself, found a bindery in England willing to do thread-sewn, blind-debossed cloth at that quantity, and managed the production run and the invoicing. Here is the most important thing I can say a...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

I honestly don’t even know where to start. Eric is the perfect collaborative partner. He adjusted his process to work with me, especially since I’m not an editor and my writing style is unconventional and deeply rooted in lived experience. Eric challenged me to think about things I hadn’t considered and served as a brilliant guide throughout the process. He showed genuine respect for my work while also being honest and thoughtful with his feedback. My advice, let him guide you. Trust his proc...

Writing a query letter was 10x harder for me that writing a book. I'm sure I didn't feel that way when I was writing my book, but on the other side of it, nailing a terrific query letter seemed to take me forever. I finally got it to a place where I was confident it was good, but not great. Something was missing, Jesse helped me take it over the top. He listened to what I felt was missing, asked questions to get further context, offered suggestions based on his experienced and helped explain ...

Working with Tania was such a positive experience. Over the six months we worked together, she was incredibly personable and made me feel like she was invested not only in my novel, but in me as a writer. We had wonderful conversations that sometimes went beyond the manuscript itself, and she regularly recommended articles, podcasts, and other novels that helped me think more deeply about what I was writing and what I wanted the book to become. Her biggest contribution to my novel actually ca...

My project is not finished but up til now all my interactions with Tom have been enormously useful. I chose Tom because he seemed to respond with some actual interest in my story and not with an 'Okay, I could do this." sort of comment. I feel that Tom took the time to get into the tone and spirit of my story. He gave me valuable feedback on what he understood as he read and what was confusing. I don't want to confuse my 8 year old reader! I hope to continue to work with Tom until this p...

Louise exceeded my expectations in every way. It has been a delight working with her and we have several more projects we are doing together. First, her design skills are excellent, everything was beautiful, achieved the communication objectives, and technically precise. Secondly, she is responsive and fast-open to suggestions-and offers ideas. I feel completely supported in this project and am very impressed with the finished project. On time, on budget, excellent quality.

I collaborated with Jo on a full manuscript edit, and I was very pleased with her approach and the result. The process was professional, well-organised, and collaborative, with a shared digital workspace that made tracking changes, discussing decisions, and giving feedback easy, fostering true partnership. As a first-time author, I appreciated her supportive experience. Her editorial judgment was consistently strong. She confidently identified sections that needed reworking for clarity, paci...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

What an absolute delight to work with Mark. He is most professional, a great listener as well as a great writer. But what he excelled in most is patience when I was not clear of my direction...and continued to help guide me and clarify my goals which was critical as a writer. Thank you, Mark! I would highly recommend Mark as an excellent writer to optimize your project.
