Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Working with Eli on the developmental edit of People Positive was one of the best decisions I made during the process By the time the manuscript reached him, I’d been living inside it for so long that I had lost perspective- Eli had an uncanny ability to spot issues without ever trying to rewrite the book into something it wasn’t. What really impressed me about Eli's work is his honesty- he gave direct, unfiltered feedback that prioritized the book and the reader’s experience. He didn't pla...

Robin's written advice about marketing my upcoming trilogy is proving very helpful, providing at the lowest level an exhaustive (potentially exhausting!) set of actions and resources that I can use to help my books gain traction. I am finding her advice about my web page and blog to be particularly on point for the current phase of my pre-publication activities. Robin's tips and pointers about advertising will repay close study later, I think, once the books are launched. In all, I think our...

Jonathan Starke is an awesome find: very professional, experienced and encouraging the entire time. I feel like I'm in a giant learning curve and Jonathan was patient with me all the way through, even sharing in my humor over everything. His review and edits to my query letter were spot on, he condensed my draft while keeping my voice intact. This is a very talented, personable fellow who will not let you down, he will be my go-to contact as I continue my writing endeavors. This has been a st...

Jain provided me with guidance that I consider incredible. The notes and comments made throughout the text were clear and concise, enabling me to interpret and implement the suggested changes. She helped me rearrange my manuscript to read in a smooth, orderly manner. It is now a pleasure to read. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. If I write another book, I will look for Jain.

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

This is my first novel and Patricia was amazing. Love her work and she is such a pleasure to work with! We completed our initial contract. However, we are collaborating on creating a back cover for this book. The work has been brought to life and I'm so excited. Highly reccommend!

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

Stephanie genuinely knows her stuff. Her work is immaculate and I could not recommend her enough. She worked to bring to life the vision I had and created the most gorgeous book cover I could ask for. I look forward to working with her on future projects!

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

Laura's feedback definitely exceeded my expectations; it was a good critical mix that I can really see and understand what I need to do to make my story better. I would work with her again :)

Oksana gave wonderfully detailed notes and constructive feedback, treating my story with personalized attention, sensitivity, and care. She is warm and collaborative, with strong storytelling instincts and years of professional experience that inform her brilliant work. She delivered her notes promptly and was very communicative and understanding throughout our collaboration. I would highly recommend working with Oksana and hope to have the privilege to do so again soon!

Aimee is an editing rockstar! She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. Her edits are clear, easy to incorporate, and provide useful explanation when helpful. She's my dream editor. Highly recommend!

This is my second collaboration with Clint, and it was just as easy and seamless as the first time. He again surpassed my expectations and created something that far exceeded what I had imagined for the project. I look forward to working with him again in the spring, and hopefully for many additional projects to come.
