Working with Alex was phenomenal. He responded to my brief with an idea for the design that aligned perfectly with what I had in mind. He communicated clearly and encouraged feedback. Alex was very open to the adjustments I wanted. He was timely and even finished before schedule. In the end, he created a cover for my book that was better than I could've imagined or hoped.

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...

5 Stars - Outstanding Line Editor Rob MacGregor is exceptional. Working with him on my hard science fiction novel transformed the manuscript in ways I hadn't anticipated. His line editing goes above and beyond - he caught critical continuity issues, timeline inconsistencies, and character development gaps that would have seriously weakened the book. When he identified structural concerns, his suggestions were clear roadmaps to solutions, not just critiques. What distinguishes Rob is how he...

Edward was a lovely person to work with! I felt that he was truly interested in my writing, and his helpful feedback, as well as passion for stories in general, really elevated my story. If anyone is looking for a dedicated and personable editor to work with, I'd highly recommend him!

It's the second time I've worked with Rozi - she did an amazing copy-edit and polished the manuscript to standards. I'm really happy with the result and look forward collaboration with her a third time.

An excellent collaboration with a very fair and reasonable introductory offer for new writers. Open conversation for guidance on the commission and quick to respond. A professional and highly satisfying experience with a fantastic end result. Thank you Carolina for helping me take first steps confidently in the world of self publishing and being a kind consummate professional making me feel comfortable in what can be anxious times.

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

I'd like to extend my immense gratitude to Janet for her excellent editorials, most encouraging guidance, and for serving as a sounding board through my debut authorship journey. She deserves more than 5 stars!

Peter was exceptionally timely, artful in execution, and continually communicative. He treats your project with the care and intuition it deserves. Simply put, if you want high-caliber work crafted with excellence, you should hire Peter.

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.

I cannot say enough good things about Yuliia and her team. The illustrations for my book were beyond anything I could have imagined. Yuliia is so kind, professional, and prompt with every response. The work was completed ahead of schedule on her end, and I truly will never go with anyone else again. I 100% recommend her!

I worked with Holly on my memoir, a book about a tough childhood and building a business from the ground up, and she was fantastic. Detail-oriented to a level I didn't know existed. She caught everything at the line level, but she also saw the bigger picture: the conceptual storytelling, the arc, where the narrative needed to breathe and where it needed to move. I ended up rewriting large sections of the manuscript based on her recommendations. Every one of those rewrites made the final produ...

Do it. Hire Ben. Ben is a marketing expert who excels in communication and creativity. He is supportive throughout the entire process. I had three sessions with him, all of which were extremely helpful. He provided plenty of follow-up conversations to ensure everything went smoothly with my marketing efforts. I highly recommend him, especially if this is your first crack at publishing a book.

I'm the queen of the typos, have a problem with ....s and ,s, and Jennifer had all the right answers in her red pen. She was easy to work with and responsive. I couldn't be happier with her work product and her work ethic. I enjoyed working with her from my nervously handing over my book to her handing it back with clear, focused edits.

Working with Nina Bruhns was a fantastic learning experience from beginning to end, and one I would recommend without hesitation to any writer, but especially to debut authors finding their footing. As a first-time novelist, I wasn't entirely sure what professional editorial feedback would look like or how it would feel to receive it. Nina understood exactly where I was in the writing process and met me there with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. She provided two invaluable doc...
