Working with Lisa Edwards on my first book was nothing short of transformative. She guided me through the entire process with respect, clarity, and a level of thoroughness that made me feel supported at every step. I deeply appreciated her time, her patience, and her genuine passion for the creative process. Lisa brings a rare combination of strengths: she understands both the creative side of storytelling and the technical side of publishing. That dual perspective shaped the kind of deep, in...

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...

Consistently beautiful layouts and total professionalism.Trusting someone with the layout of your book for the third time is an easy choice when they are as talented as Steve. He handles everything from chapter headings to drop caps with incredible precision and care, ensuring a perfect reading experience. Steve is communicative, efficient, and consistently raises the production value of our work. Thank you, Steve, for helping us bring another beautiful book to life!

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

Conrad did an amazing job. His insights were sharp, with a clear focus on each item that merits attention. His suggestions were clear, simple to implement, and always showed a great degree of objectivity. I wrote screenplays for several years. The professionals who provided feedback in the industry were ruthless to the point of being simply rude and destructive. It always felt as if their job was to systematically destroy your confidence as a writer instead of providing objective feedback. ...

I loved working with Victoria. Collaborating with her was a blast. She absolutely "got" my vision for the project, and everyone who has seen the cover has been blown away. I would absolutely hire her again.

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

Look no further! Blair is the real deal! As a first-time author, I could not have asked for a more supportive and trustworthy editor. Blair exceeded my expectations in every area and gave me greater confidence in my manuscript. Working with Blair on my first book was an incredible blessing. She truly felt like an angel God placed in my path. From the beginning, Blair was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in my manuscript. She approached the deeply personal an...

Kateryna and I have just begun our project but she is a great fit and I am thrilled to have her be my illustrator!!!

SEES THE WHOLE STORY: Angela tracked characters, chronology, injuries, objects, and overall cause and effect across my entire manuscript. For example, a named character seemed to suddenly appear midway through my story. Angela conducted what I can only describe as an FBI-grade manuscript investigation, tracing him backward through simple, brief descriptions separated by dozens of pages and multiple chapters until she found his first unnamed appearance. EXPLAINS THE WHY: Angela doesn't just id...

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

Working with Alison was an extremely positive experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and thorough, but what I especially appreciated was her warmth and positive energy. She responded to my questions quickly and clearly. She noticed even the smallest details and helped ensure that the manuscript was clean and consistent. She was patient, thorough, and always willing to take another look whenever something needed to be checked. I would work with Alison again wit...

Working with Chet has been nothing short of an absolute delight! They helped make a fragmented concept into a cohesive manuscript. Chet is professional, prompt, communicative and hilarious. I wouldn't want to work with another professional.

Absolutely wonderful work! Book debuted as a best-seller in multiple categories, and Caitlin is 100% the reason.
