Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

Working with Allison was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. From the beginning, she treated my manuscript with genuine care and respect. She didn't try to change my voice, she helped refine it. Her edits strengthened the writing while preserving the heart of the story, which was incredibly important for a memoir as personal as Brunch. Sobriety. Tea & Plants. Communication was prompt, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. She offered thoughtful su...

Working with Nicola has been an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Her creativity, talent, and attention to detail brought my story to life in a way I could only have dreamed of. Every illustration perfectly captured the characters, emotions, and magical moments within the book, adding so much charm and personality to each page. Nicola was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about creating something special. As a first-time author, seeing my words transfor...

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

Working with Sarah-Beth was one of the best decisions I made in this publishing process. I came to her with a memoir that was deeply personal — years of life compressed into pages — and she handled it with care and professionalism from start to finish. What stood out most was her responsiveness. Every question I had, every file exchange, every revision — she turned things around quickly and kept the collaboration moving without me having to chase her down. That matters when you're self-publi...

Working with Emma was an absolutely phenomenal experience. She is kind, responsive, and wonderfully honest. What sets Emma apart is the time she spends upfront getting to know your vision. She tailored her feedback directly to our goals, and because she built such a strong foundation of trust, her critiques were easy to handle and immediately elevated our story. On top of her exceptional editorial eye, Emma has an elite understanding of the traditional publishing industry. Thanks to her, we a...

Kate goes above and beyond on all collaborations. I've worked with her twice now. The editorial review she gave me amazing insights into how I could improve not just my current manuscript but my overall writing. Suggestions are always helpful with reasons given. The line/copy edit collaboration has helped me to improve tone and style, stop repetition and fix everything from grammar to insights into character, making my progression fantasy seem more real. Kate sprinkles support and helpful ...

Incredible, wonderful experience. Ann wrote up a twenty-four page editorial summary of her ideas about my Civil War novel, and gave me specific feedback on every single page of my 117,000 word document, analyzing my work line by line. And she finished right on time! Ann is smart, supportive, and offered me tremendous constructive criticism, especially with plot, pacing, and characterization. I am a history teacher, and TO LIVE A PATRIOT is my first novel. I needed a lot of help. When I hired...

Working with Becky on my first book was a truly valuable experience. Her feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and always focused on strengthening the story while respecting my creative vision. Beyond editing the manuscript, she provided insightful suggestions and a comprehensive style guide that will continue to help me grow as a writer. Her professionalism, clarity, and genuine care for the project made the entire process smooth and inspiring. I’m very grateful for her work and ...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

Working with Sakshi was an incredible experience from start to finish. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and patient. Throughout the project, I made numerous requests and scope adjustments, and she handled every change with grace, flexibility, and a positive attitude. Her creativity brought my vision to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and she was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I truly felt supported through the entire process. I highly recommend ...

Working with Raman on The Life Compass website and Twitter launch was an excellent experience from start to finish. He consistently delivered high-quality work, maintained strong attention to detail, and showed great responsiveness throughout the entire project. From the site layout and mobile optimization to the card design and strategic planning for social media, Raman brought structure, creativity, and reliability to every phase. Communication was smooth, and he was always proactive in of...

Finding the right editor makes all the difference, and this is she! This collaboration was the best investment I could have made in my manuscript. She completed a line edit that included a one-hour video editorial consultation, as well as a review of my query letter and synopsis. The takeaways were immensely helpful. The inline comments in the manuscript provided such valuable insight through the eyes of a reader and a critic. Her feedback was objective while being highly attuned to the s...

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...
