Ceileigh delivered exactly the kind of conceptual editing I was looking for. Lots of things I was too close to the project to catch, lots of things I half-noticed but didn't act on until she caught them, too, (and lots of comments that simply made me feel seen as a writer). I'll likely hire her for my next project, too. Thanks, Ceileigh!

Working with Taylor was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire process of writing my first book. From our very first interaction, it was clear that he genuinely cared about helping me create the best book possible—not just correcting grammar or making edits. He provided thoughtful guidance, challenged me when something could be stronger, and helped me understand the "why" behind his suggestions, which was invaluable as a first-time author. What I appreciated most was that Tay...

My choice of Melissa for my Developmental Editor could not have been more perfect for my debut novel! I am so impressed by her ability to understand the concept of the story but to also "hear" my voice and then apply what she understands to the editing. I am totally in line with her suggestions and am having a good time expanding the story to include them. I think it will be a much better "read" with these revisions. She has been a tremendous asset to my project and I look forward to the poss...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Editor — Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way Working with Patricia has been one of the highlights of my publishing journey. She went truly above and beyond in every aspect of the editing process. Not only was she incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but she was deeply involved from beginning to end. She read my manuscript more times than I ever expected an editor would — and each pass brought new insights, clarity, and improvements that elevated the entire book. Pat...

Elaini was wonderful to work with and very professional. She was sure to answer all of my questions in a timely fashion and her attention to detail made my project the best version it could be. I am very grateful. She finished early as well.

Ranna did an outstanding job on my book cover and all of my interior design. I loved getting to work with her and see my ideas come to life through her skills and art. Not only is she super talented she is very kind and helps integrate your feedback seamlessly and ensures you love your final product. I would 100% go with Rannia for all cover needs, interior design etc. She is actually doing my second book as well because I loved the experience so much. Thankful is an understatement!

I had the pleasure of working with Saranne again for the final edit of Stanley Tails: A Rescue Dog’s Adventures – Book 1, and I could not be happier with the experience. Saranne did a beautiful job preparing the manuscript for the next stage of the publishing process and for my illustrator. Her editing is thoughtful, perceptive, and respectful of the author’s voice. She has a wonderful ability to recognize what a story needs while still allowing it to remain unmistakably the writer’s own. W...

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...

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

Phil was great to work with, understood my vision right out of the gate, and brought the artwork to a form where my cover tells a story itself. Very polite, professional and willing to go in any direction I needed, with guidance from his experience in this industry, which was perfect for a first time self-publisher. This is the first in a trilogy and look forward to working with Phil on the other two!

Daniel is thoughtful, wise, and matter of fact. I partnered with him to bring his literary instincts to my story. So glad I did. While reading his development memo—his reflections on my work—I get a humbling sense that he knows more then me about what I'm trying to say. Some of Daniel’s input parallels my quiet subconscious voice. "Yep, I knew I cheated there." One might classify this as coaching. Some of his input lightning-strike fresh…a totally new point of view that will take you're tale ...

Working with Kate was a fantastic experience. She provided clear, actionable, and immensely helpful developmental feedback. Her insights were indispensable in taking my project to the next level. I highly recommend her and would absolutely work with her again.

Allen is a pleasure to work with: he is thoughtful, imaginative, punctual and experienced (in web design and as a writer). He was very reasonable with his budget request and had always been very clear on what to expect. He was attentive to my wishes (as they evolved throughout the life of the project). He delivered what he promised, and he did it on time and stayed within budget. I will not hesitate to hire him for my new project, and I strongly recommend you do so as well. YR.

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

It was an absolute dream to work with Daniel. He was very professional and he does top notch work. We had several meetings via zoom and he has stayed in touch even after to make sure there have been no problems.
