Working with Lisa has been the most valuable step in bringing my book to a truly professional level. As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what made a book stand out and get to a professional level. Lisa guided me through that learning curve with clarity, expertise, and genuine care. Her feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and delivered with a perfect balance of honesty and encouragement. She didn’t just point out what could be improved; she helped me understand why it mattered, offering insi...

Marta was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. She was always responsive and quickly responded to and implemented my feedback as we worked through each step of the process, while also applying her expertise and offering guidance on the design direction. If you're considering working with Marta, don't hesitate to submit a request!

Such a positive experience working with Jonathan - highly recommend. Very easy to chat with and he had such thoughtful insights and suggestions. Would definitely work with again - thanks so much!

Working with Sarah on my YA novel was such a positive experience. Right from the start she was highly responsive and engaged in my story premise. This was my first experience with a professional editor and Sarah answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Most importantly, the developmental edits Sarah returned were invaluable! Sarah's edits were detailed, thorough and delivered so thoughtfully. Her attention to detail really stood out to me, as did her ability to deliver feedback in a c...

Eva was wonderful to collaborate with. The finished cover is absolutely brilliant and when I’ve put out the mock ups on a social media ad I’ve had overwhelming positive response with people saying ‘awesome cover’ ‘beautiful cover’

Mallory is always a pleasure to work with.

As a first-time author, I didn't even know where to begin with cover and interior design and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Wesley. He was a pleasure to work with and gave me great advice and encouragement along the way. He was always available for my questions and always got back right away. I couldn't be happier with the finished product and will plan on using him for my next work. I would without reservation recommend him to anyone looking for the highest lev...

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

I worked with Lillian on a 109,000-word adult dystopian novel for a developmental edit. We started with a quote request. Before I hired her, we exchanged a few messages about my goals for the manuscript, and I reviewed a sample edit. She returned my manuscript with extensive in-manuscript comments, which I read through before scheduling our follow-up Zoom call. As I went through her comments, I started noticing patterns. Some flagged places where the logic or character motivation wasn’t qu...

Working with John has been an outstanding experience. He brings a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to the process. His insights strengthened my manuscript, and his communication made every step smooth and enjoyable. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services.

Tiffani is a gem. One you might dream of finding but never do. Well, now you did.

Vicki was extremely professional and from day one she understood our concept and engaged with our book. Her ideas were great and she has created the perfect cover for our book - The Dash of Life. She is easy to work with, great at communicating and has been instrumental in making this an exciting and enjoyable project.

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

Elizabeth took care of all of my needs. I appreciated her ability to adapt to my changes during the project. She remained very professional and patient with me throughout this time working together. She always answered my questions. I definitely would use her services again!

Josiah was my first hire for my first book, and though I was skeptical about hiring an editor at first, he has shown me that the price is well worth it. From the moment he gave me an example of his work, I knew this was the correct choice, and after receiving the final draft and his input on how to improve, I can honestly say that I hope to hire him again in the future.
