Brooke is incredible! She has taken my writing to a level that I didn’t know was possible. Working with her has been nothing short of amazing. I’m very grateful for her expertise. I now have writing that I am confident putting out for the world to see.

Rachel is wonderfully friendly, professional, creative, and highly talented. She works hard to bring your vision to life in a way that is eye catching and aesthetically pleasing and truly captures the essence of your book. She was enthusiastic, helpful, and offered excellent suggestions throughout the process. She was an absolute dream to work with, and I would love to collaborate with her again on my next book. I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

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.

Dan has provided me excellent feedback! His recommendations were all thoughtful and highly useful in working towards a final edit. He was fully invested in the story and brought a level of enthusiasm that was highly motivating. He is an easy communicator with a very supportive and helpful manner. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good editor for a non-fiction work.

Wonderful Partner for Self-Publishing Children’s Books Terry was an excellent partner in getting my children’s book ready for publication with IngramSpark. He reviewed my files thoroughly, caught details I would have never spotted on my own, and explained not just what to fix but also why. That guidance was invaluable for me as a first-time author. What stood out most was his balance of technical expertise and design insight — from layout tweaks to print specs, Terry gave me confidence that...

Working with Maria Scala is the best decision I've made as an author. Over the past six months, Maria has guided me through developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading across three separate projects. By the end of this journey, I think she knew my memoir better than me! Maria challenged me when I needed it, encouraged me when self-doubt crept in, and helped shape a deeply personal story with expertise, professionalism, skill, and compassion. Her edits always elevated the manuscr...

I selected Sebastian after interviewing several designers and conducting thorough research. From the very beginning, his credentials, portfolio, and thoughtful communication stood out and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. Throughout the process, that confidence only deepened. Sebastian designed the full visual identity of my book, including six original illustrations, five symbolic illustrations plus an additional detailed illustration, each of which was beautifully a...

Michele was efficient, pleasant and did outstanding work! Highly recommended! Thank you!

Working with Bo has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. He brought professionalism, care, patience, and deep editorial skill to my book, The Art of Cash Flow: Her Journey in Treasury, Resilience, and Financial Transformation. As a first-time author, I needed not only editorial support but also guidance, reassurance, and a steady hand through the final stages of preparing the manuscript for publication. Bo provided all of this with great dedication. He helped shape the manusc...

Zena was everything I hoped for in a developmental editor — insightful, thorough and genuinely invested in helping the story reach its potential. Her feedback went far beyond surface notes, she understood the heart of my project and gave me both the tools and the motivation to keep going. The depth of her editorial report, the thoughtfulness of her comments and her ability to balance critique with encouragement were exceptional. It will take me time to reflect and revise, but I already feel ...

Fast. Thorough. Easy to work with. Great work.

Was so impressed by the speed in which Sara-Jade responded to my edit and the depth, professionalism and insight she provided. The feedback zoom meeting was equally impressive. Sara-Jade went above and beyond all of my expectations.

Katie is a marketing pro! Data driven, clear guidance, incredibly helpful to self-publishing authors. Knowing how to well doesn't mean knowing how to sell well. That's a different discipline and, frankly, an art in itself. Katie provided the know-how that I was lacking. I have a clear vision, a clear plan, and confidence that I am not just shooting from the hip as it pertains to marketing my book. I loved her customized powerpoint as an actual deliverable. Well worth every penny I spent.

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend working with Jamie N. He is a top-notch artist, incredibly talented! His work is some of the finest high fantasy art I've ever seen. He is also incredibly responsive and polite, a pleasure to work with. The work was amazing, and finished ahead of schedule. Moreover, Jamie will go the extra mile. I gave him precise instructions on how I wanted the art to look, and he followed those instructions to the letter. However, when I saw my own idea ...

Working with Grace has been one of the best decisions I've made for my manuscript and for myself as a writer. She is both sharp and genuinely enthusiastic for the work. She caught things I hadn't seen, but just as importantly, she confirmed things I felt but was unsure about. That second part matters more than I expected. Having her reflect my own instincts back with confidence has pushed me to be a better writer. Beyond the editorial work itself, working with Grace feels easy. Professional,...
