Alan has now completed a few projects for me, and he is the best. He is responsive, professional, and always does an incredible job.

Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

Working with Daniel was a pleasure. His design was beautiful and captured exactly what I was hoping for. Whenever I asked for an edit to be made, he was responsive and happy to do it. When I had questions and needed clarification because this was my first book, he was there with both reassurance and confidence. He went above and beyond at the end of the project when I was very anxious about getting the book to print and made himself super available for last minute adjustments. I worked with b...

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

It was fantastic. High quality work, on time. Nothing to add, Alexandra is the best!

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.

I worked with Lillian on a 109,000-word adult dystopian novel for a developmental edit. We started with a quote request. Before I hired her, we exchanged a few messages about my goals for the manuscript, and I reviewed a sample edit. She returned my manuscript with extensive in-manuscript comments, which I read through before scheduling our follow-up Zoom call. As I went through her comments, I started noticing patterns. Some flagged places where the logic or character motivation wasn’t qu...

I cannot express enough that working with Lisa was the best decision I could have made for my father’s book. She brought precision, compassion, and true editorial mastery to every page. Lisa didn’t just edit the manuscript — she elevated it. She understood the heart of the story, protected my dad’s voice, and shaped the book into something I am deeply proud to publish. Her instincts were excellent, and she was spot-on with every detail. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care ar...

Janan is a fantastic book coach. She demonstrates strong range to understand complicated projects and concepts. Her communication skills make the work efficient, and easier to understand.

Zennor provided a thoughtful, rigorous editorial assessment that engaged seriously with both the strengths and structural challenges of my manuscript. Her feedback was clear, specific and respectful of voice, with particularly helpful insights into pacing, repetition and narrative arc. I found the report both encouraging and demanding in the right ways, and it’s given me a strong framework for revision. I’d happily recommend her to authors looking for honest, professional feedback.

I worked with James for about six months on a developmental edit and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. I'll note the extended duration was based on my delayed turnaround time for various elements. I found James to be incredibly responsive, and the process was considerably more collaborative than anticipated since I'm based in the U.S. and he's in the U.K. Without question, he made the work stronger - both with the large-scale structural elements as well as with small-scale language...

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 Lisa has been the most valuable step in bringing my book to a truly professional level. As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what made a book stand out and get to a professional level. Lisa guided me through that learning curve with clarity, expertise, and genuine care. Her feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and delivered with a perfect balance of honesty and encouragement. She didn’t just point out what could be improved; she helped me understand why it mattered, offering insi...

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...
