I can't say enough good things about working with Collette. She took the vision for my very first book Be Good to Yourself — a 100-day guided journal rooted in the dahlia as a symbol of blooming and radical self-compassion — and brought it to life more beautifully than I imagined. The color palette, the delicate line-art florals, the way she color-coded each phase of the journal with its own subtle tab system... every detail feels intentional and elevated. She has a genuine gift for translati...

I hired Ciera to do a final proofread on my novel, after two other editors had their eyes on it. Well, she found the mistakes they missed, and she ensured my work was a professional product. She was responsive, delivered ahead of time, and gladly looked at two additional scenes I had rewritten. She's a pro and every author needs someone like Ciera to check their work.

Claire is treasure. Having a chance to collaborate with an author of this calibre has been incredibly helpful to me. She knows the industry inside out, but what I wasn’t expecting was how much she cares. Even with some unexpected issues on my side, she has been exceptionally professional and accommodating. She took my story apart, offered brilliant insights, and helped me step back from my own project to see it with more objectivity. Highly recommended!

Writing a query letter was 10x harder for me that writing a book. I'm sure I didn't feel that way when I was writing my book, but on the other side of it, nailing a terrific query letter seemed to take me forever. I finally got it to a place where I was confident it was good, but not great. Something was missing, Jesse helped me take it over the top. He listened to what I felt was missing, asked questions to get further context, offered suggestions based on his experienced and helped explain ...

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Lucy was an absolute delight to work with for a developmental edit of my novel! She was a true professional in every aspect of the project - from communication, edits, to quality of work delivered. I was nervous about my first time working with an editor but it could not have been easier. Lucy clearly communicated what was to be expected and when. The notes she provided through her edit were thoughtful, insightful, and presented in a way that prevented me from getting overwhelmed. Her feedbac...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

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 ...

Nina is an incredible editor. She goes above and beyond to make sure she knows exactly who you are as a writer and what goals you set out to achieve— to the extent that I can believe she is as invested in my story as I am. Feedback is clearly designed to help you achieve, and each critique well justified. Nina has a clear extensive knowledge of the literary industry, and will be honest about where your writing stands in the market. Her work is delivered in a timely manner. As a new writer, I ...

Kristen was phenomenal to work with. She helped guide me through the process and never complained when I would ask additional questions. I look forward to working with her again.

This was my first time working with someone to create a cover, and I am so happy I did. Ken was a fantastic collaborator. He immediately grasped the heart of the story and transformed it into a cover that beautifully reflected the hierarchy, secrets, and hidden layers within the narrative. His communication was consistently clear, timely, and professional, and he always made sure my questions were fully addressed. I look forward to working with him again on future projects. His creativity an...

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

I have sent Sam three children's stories to date. He makes each scene more lively and suggest ideas that I had never thought of. Sam makes editing a stress free process!

Jaime was extremely helpful, very professional and got the work done in the required time. I loved working with her, and it was really great experience to having my first editor ever look at something I wrote. She was very prompt, very nice and I seemed like we clicked from the start which was nice, it was like talking with a friend! She also has helped fine tune my manuscript and point out things I did not notice before which has helped my book become even better!

I honestly don’t even know where to start. Eric is the perfect collaborative partner. He adjusted his process to work with me, especially since I’m not an editor and my writing style is unconventional and deeply rooted in lived experience. Eric challenged me to think about things I hadn’t considered and served as a brilliant guide throughout the process. He showed genuine respect for my work while also being honest and thoughtful with his feedback. My advice, let him guide you. Trust his proc...
