Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

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.

Working with Zennor has been one of the most important parts of my memoir journey so far. I came to her with a very personal manuscript containing themes of adoption, grief, addiction, motherhood, and belonging, and she held both me and the work with exceptional care. Her feedback was insightful, encouraging, and incredibly perceptive. She helped me see where the story needed to slow down, where important moments deserved more space, and where the deeper threads of the book were waiting to b...

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...

I can not give higher praise to Cyndi beyond the absolute maximum capacity for me to do so. From her very first proposal/interaction with me, she displayed the utmost professionalism and mentorship, ensuring I was comfortable every step of the way. She gave amazing guidance, intuitively structured her work based on my requests, and couldn't have been a better collaborator.

Her effort stands out for its compassion and care in handling difficult material. She approached the subject with a genuine sense of empathy, taking the time to understand the emotional weight of the story and the people behind it. Her ability to grapple with the way the book connects with the audience was extremely valuable, nothing feels forced or exploitative, and the harder moments are treated with honesty and respect. Her ability to relate to complex, military jargonesse, and emotion...

It was a joy to work with Evelina. She is a gifted designer, highly professional, and very responsive to my ideas. This is the ideal design partnership, where we speak the same language and can communicate a shared vision. However, it's then that the designer, Evelina, takes it to the next level, delighting and surprising. My book is a business book about the intersection of AI and Neurodiversity. As such, it's not a light read, but Evelina's design has ensured it is contemporary, elegant, an...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

Working with Dan was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was fast, communicative and clear in his feedback. He was open to meetings and easy to collaborate with. What stood out most was his attention to detail and deep knowledge of the genre. He caught niche science fiction specific details that a general editor would have missed entirely, which made all the difference for this manuscript. His notes were thorough and thoughtful. He always explained the reasoning behind each sugge...

I am so grateful that I was able to find Philip Bashe to review my manuscript. After reviewing his previous body of work - he was the only person I wanted to provide a copy/line edit for my book. He provided a thorough and exhaustive edit not only on time - but actually two weeks ahead of time to accommodate my own schedule - allowing me to finish my work during a natural break in my own life. More importantly than simply completing the work early, however, he poured an incredible level of...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

I am thrilled about the collaboration I had with George Stevens. He designed the most beautiful cover for my debut book, The Long Way Here and the books layout and design are more amazing than I could have ever imagined. The book launched earlier this week and I've been receiving positive feedback about the book's look and feel. I'm am extremely pleased with the way the book turned out. I am so grateful for George's expertise and self-publishing knowledge. He was so easy to work with and extr...

Sophie’s developmental edit was nothing short of transformative. Her keen insight and perceptive feedback surpassed my expectations, providing exactly what I needed at this critical stage. Sophie demonstrated a deep understanding of my book’s mission and captured my voice with remarkable clarity. Her thoughtful suggestions and meticulous attention to detail brought out the very best in my manuscript—elevating it in ways I could never have achieved alone. I am deeply grateful for the dedicatio...

Sharon delivered a developmental edit that transformed my manuscript before I even began the next round of revisions. Her feedback was thoughtful, precise, and deeply insightful. Honest and constructive, she pinpointed weaknesses with clarity and care, always in service of making the work stronger. She took the time to understand my vision and treated it with respect, offering guidance that elevated the manuscript without ever diminishing its heart. Her validation of my skill and creative di...

Working with Michael has been an incredible experience from start to finish. His editorial insight is sharp, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to both the heart of the story and the clarity of the writing. He has a rare ability to elevate ideas without ever overshadowing the author’s voice, and his feedback consistently brings out the strongest, most polished version of the work. What I appreciate most is his balance of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. He celebrates the wins, guides the ...
