As a first-time author, I wasn't even really sure what I needed. A proofreader? A content editor? Joy has guided me from the very beginning, offering invaluable information and feedback, sharing her own experiences with the industry, too. It's been a wonderful experience and I am so happy I found Joy.

On top of her exceptional editorial eye, Emma has an elite understanding of the traditional publishing industry. Thanks to her, we a...

S. C. did an excellent job as my Copy Editor. She read and understood my text and provided invaluable "fixes" to my manuscript! The work she gave me was always ahead of schedule, and she even finished the entire project early.

He is very generous with his background information and navigated me through the uncharted territory I faced, while advising me on additional book publishing questions, providing invaluab...

Rennie was an outstanding copyeditor for my 70,000-word memoir. From the get-go, she impressed me. She responded to my quote request quickly with a deeply thoughtful reply that made clear she was genuinely interested in the project.

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

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...

I can't say enough good things about Helen.

Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...

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...

I have worked with Veronica in the past and will continue to do so in the future. She is very kind, patient, and quick to respond to messages. She is also a creative problem solver and tackles any speed bumps that arise in the book publishing process with finesse and positivity.

Patience was a joy to work with. She provided wonderful notes, encouragement, and engagement throughout. I highly recommend working with her; you will not regret it. :)

Chandler was incredible to work with while editing my self-help book proposal. She was extremely thoughtful in both her written feedback on the document and in her communication with me throughout the process. I learned so much from her. She took the time to make sure I truly understood her edits and comments rather than just making changes and moving on. She also made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the process. Writing a book proposal can feel overwhelming, and her support, clarity, and enc...
