Kat is a fantastic editor. Knowledgable, insightful, and positive when it comes to making suggestions for enhancement in a constructive, concise, and considered way. She clearly lays out her approach and outlines the timeline, which she delivered against ahead of deadline. She was responsive and really helpful when considering options and I really valued her professional opinion and perspective. Thank you Kat, it's been great working with you.

Eric was outstanding to work with and fully justified his value in the editorial guidance he provided me. My manuscript was lengthy and complex: 80,000+, words 150+ references, 60+ exercises, and more than 50 charts and diagrams at the time of draft. It covers a difficult self-help topic that synthesizes a lot of psychology research, my own insights, and newly created exercises to help readers improve themselves. It was in early draft state and Eric was one of the first human readers to set...

Having worked with Clelia on two books, I can say with confidence that choosing her as my editor was the right decision. She has an exceptional eye for detail—catching everything from small inconsistencies to bigger issues of flow and clarity—and always ensures that the reader receives my message exactly as I intended. Beyond her technical skill, Clelia is reliable, always meeting deadlines, and a pleasure to collaborate with. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any writer looking for a sharp, ...

Hannah is remarkably gifted in her creativity and ability to adapt to the genre in question. I've had no issues and only good experiences with Hannah. We were able to sort out our time differences (being on different sides of the globe) and align our busy schedules for meetings.

Working with Fiona has been an exceptional experience. The quality of work provided met and exceeded my expectations. She demonstrated a deep understanding of my gothic epic story structure, language, and pacing, catching even subtle plot holes and inconsistencies I had overlooked. Her clarity and responsiveness throughout the project gave me confidence at every stage. She delivered on time, communicated with professionalism, and provided thoughtful, detailed feedback that was both construct...

I cannot possibly say enough amazing things about working with Jessica. Not only is she wildly talented (her work is absolutely stunning!), but she is also an incredible sounding board, hand-holder, cheerleader and creative sherpa. She brought my story to life in a way I could never have even begun to imagine and she made my first experience one I will never forget. I will forever be grateful for the comfort and security that came from working with such a competent, confident and caring profe...

Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.

My experience with Laura has been fantastic! She not only helped me improve my manuscript, but she also encouraged me when I felt overwhelmed or unsure. Laura helped me fix a boring backstory dump; she caught a POV problem in my climactic scene; and she offered guidance with my problematic dream sequences. In addition, Laura assisted me with the genre of my book. My manuscript was stuck solidly in a state of limbo between genres, but with Laura’s guidance and revision suggestions, I ...

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

I worked with James for about six months on a developmental edit and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. I'll note the extended duration was based on my delayed turnaround time for various elements. I found James to be incredibly responsive, and the process was considerably more collaborative than anticipated since I'm based in the U.S. and he's in the U.K. Without question, he made the work stronger - both with the large-scale structural elements as well as with small-scale language...

Working with Nuno and Rui has been such a gift. Nuno has this rare ability to instantly “get it” — my vision, my tone, even the things I couldn’t always articulate — and turn it into design that feels exactly right. His creative eye is unmatched, but what made the process even better was his patience, professionalism, and care at every step. Rui’s typesetting work was equally thoughtful and precise, bringing the words to life on the page in a way that feels seamless and intentional. Together...

Andie didn’t just edit my book — she felt it. She approached Flight of a Dog’s Soul with both precision and heart, treating every line with the care of someone who truly understood what the story meant. Her feedback was thoughtful, her edits seamless, and her empathy rare. If you want an editor who makes your work better and honors its soul, hire Andie.

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Shanika delivered as promised and open my eyes with great suggestions which I have implemented. Her pricing was very fair for the scope of work I requested. I would use her again. Also, I had been using Fiverr in the past and not 100% happy with all of the representatives there. It was very hit or miss.

Jennifer is my favorite, and she holds a special place in my heart (and author journey) because she is one of the first people who saw the potential in me and my writing! I worked with her several years ago on two children's books, and I told her that when I was ready, I'd bring her a novel worth her experience and time. This WIP is that novel! I am so elated and proud that she is my editor, and I can't wait to work with her again on my next project! She is extremely responsive (always has be...
