Where beautiful
books
are made

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

SEES THE WHOLE STORY: Angela tracked characters, chronology, injuries, objects, and overall cause and effect across my entire manuscript. For example, a named character seemed to suddenly appear midway through my story. Angela conducted what I can only describe as an FBI-grade manuscript investigation, tracing him backward through simple, brief descriptions separated by dozens of pages and multiple chapters until she found his first unnamed appearance. EXPLAINS THE WHY: Angela doesn't just id...

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.

Izabela is amazing! She quickly understood my vision and delivered a beautiful, professional design that elevated the entire book. The cover is beautiful, the interior layout is clean and polished, and communication throughout the project was smooth and timely. I’m thrilled with the results and I would go to her for anything I need on future projects. Highly recommend working with her!

Vincent was brilliant. He was meticulous and thorough. He eye for detail was extraordinary. He was also responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. He completed everything early. My book was much better for having Vincent involved. I cannot imagine his not being involved on my next book. Really a great experience. Thanks!

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Working with Mary Ann was a wonderful experience! She was quick to respond to feedback and did an incredible job of capturing the vibes of my story. I couldn't be happier with how the cover turned out!

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...

I would like to say that Janet went above and beyond. She not only got the the project done on time but was ahead of time. She was 100 percent professional and communicated thoroughly every step of the way. Also I want to add that she didn't make me feel like a project but a person and kept the communication light and fresh. I will be working with her in the future hopefully.

I am new to writing and the whole editorial process. Kellyn was very helpful and understanding. She was happy to do a basic read through of the manuscript and then work with me honestly on where the manuscript sits in terms of publishing and what I'll need to do in order to get it to that stage. I would highly recommend her for any part of the editing process.

Shanika is an amazing editor!! She's bright and kind. Her editorial letter was incredibly helpful and paired with her comments on the manuscript itself helped me take my novel to the next level. I highly recommend her!

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

James is a fantastic editor. He did a developmental edit of my first novel, helping me develop and build confidence in my writing skills. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and meticulous in his attention to the logic and resonance of every sentence, while also keeping me focused on the overarching structure and tone of the story. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to work with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Lisa is amazing and it was the easiest decision to have her do the cover for my second book after she did the first. Highly recommend!

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...
