Olivier formatted and designed the covers for the print, digital, and audio editions of my book, a long, structurally complex nonfiction work, with real care and precision. Clean interior across every format, framework diagrams rendered exactly right, and print-ready files throughout. The cover work stood out, exactly as I envisioned it, beautifully balanced and giving the book a finished, professional feel. Responsive to every revision and a pleasure to work with. I recommend Olivier without...

If it were possible to give you six stars, we would. Robin was incredibly professional and helpful through the entire process. She went above and beyond in every sense, taking the time to clearly explain what services she offered in clear, plain language, and offered incredibly helpful advice even before we began the collaboration. The report she produced is a fantastic resource that we're going to be referenced constantly. Robin answered our questions quickly, and was always happy to provide...

This is my second time working with Miriam, and as usual, her insight and edits are worth every penny. She's professional, thorough, and has an incredible eye for detail. If you're still on the fence after reading that, then let me just say this: My manuscript has received multiple full requests. If that's why you're here, then hire Miriam. (You're welcome.)

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated the time she made for me and the thoughtfulness with which she approached my work. She made me consider many new directions to strengthen my manuscript, and that was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely look to work with her again on future projects.

It's hard to imagine a better editor or a better editorial experience than I've had with Lisa. Her attention to every detail is phenomenal, and her thoughtful suggestions made for a better book in every way. Highly recommended!

Working with Michael has been an incredible experience from start to finish. His editorial insight is sharp, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to both the heart of the story and the clarity of the writing. He has a rare ability to elevate ideas without ever overshadowing the author’s voice, and his feedback consistently brings out the strongest, most polished version of the work. What I appreciate most is his balance of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. He celebrates the wins, guides the ...

Claire was a delight to work with. She was knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough. It was easy to gain confidence in her work very quickly because of her timely communication and the samples she sent early on. This was an investment for me, as a first time author and one-woman business, and it was well worth the money. My book is a much better product because of Claire's help. She also explained things to me and answered all of my questions. She saved me time by reorganizing my chapters after I ...

Amber is phenomenal at what she does! Her communication was timely and thorough from beginning to end. I went with her because of how much value/personalized feedback she offered to me on my chapter sample before we even began working together. She clearly got the heart and soul of my book. We got to have two calls together, and I can't imagine my book getting to the level of quality its now at without her development editing report and extensive feedback. I will work with her again in a hear...

I had an amazing experience working with Jonathan. He went far beyond what I expected, not only delivering a thorough, high‑quality proofread, but also offering insightful notes throughout my entire manuscript. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and genuinely helpful. He was incredibly responsive, kept me updated during the process, and even finished ahead of schedule. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and I can’t wait to work with him again. Highly recommended.

Incredible, wonderful experience. Ann wrote up a twenty-four page editorial summary of her ideas about my Civil War novel, and gave me specific feedback on every single page of my 117,000 word document, analyzing my work line by line. And she finished right on time! Ann is smart, supportive, and offered me tremendous constructive criticism, especially with plot, pacing, and characterization. I am a history teacher, and TO LIVE A PATRIOT is my first novel. I needed a lot of help. When I hired...

Shanika did a wonderful job! She was fast, affordable, and very detailed. She gave me great feedback on my submission package. She answered all my questions, and I really trust her guidance given all her experience in the industry. I would definitely hire her again. I highly recommend working with her.

Thanks to Bo Roginsky, for once again providing a careful and meticulous proofreading of the manuscript. His attention to detail and thoughtful review helped ensure that the book was polished and ready for publication. This was my second time working with Bo, and once again I found him to be thorough, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without hesitation to any author looking for a careful and highly professional proofreader.

My experience with RuthAnne was productive and enjoyable. She was prompt, professional, and personable with her assessment. Her evaluation of my manuscript was detailed and provided both positive feedback as well as areas for improvement with examples. She was more than happy to discuss any of her comments and answer questions. I appreciate her time and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to other authors.

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...

A pleasure to work with, very professional and all her edits were on point. Thank you!
