Working with Stefanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach, and brought so much creativity and originality to the project. What stood out most was her ability to take the vision and elevate it beyond what I had imagined, adding her own ideas in ways that made the story richer and more engaging. Every step of the process felt seamless, and her communication made it easy and enjoyable to work together. I’m genu...

Martha's editorial report exceeded my expectations in both depth and precision. I received nearly a thousand line-level comments, each one thoughtful and specific. Rather than dictating changes, she asks the right questions: where gaps exist, where the timeline needs anchoring, where repetition dulls the prose. She caught contradictions I had missed across chapters and flagged patterns I was too close to see. What impressed me most was her respect for the manuscript's voice. She pushed for cl...

I have been writing children’s books for going on six years now and have experienced a myriad of professionals who have helped me get my business off the ground. But working with Steve is the first time that I’ve experienced such a condensed world of talent and knowledge of the book industry in one person. In many ways, he provides one stop shopping for an author. Not only does he have enormous talent for creating whimsical illustrations that appeal to children, he is also a book designer...

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

This is my first time seeking professional editing and writing. Working with Dylan has been fantastic. His edits are comprehensive and have significantly increased my confidence in my writing and manuscript. He has unparalleled responsiveness, attention to detail, and care. I fully intend to work with him on my additional future manuscripts.

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.

My initial thoughts after receiving Miriam's feedback on my query package? Wow. The entire experience was so much more than I expected. She went above and beyond to make my query letter shine. I deeply appreciated her editorial suggestions and sharp storytelling instinct, which helped me sharpen my manuscript far beyond the first 50 pages. She's direct and honest, but also supportive and encouraging. I felt like she grasped the entire project and gave comprehensive feedback across all piece...

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Deborah did a wonderful job as the copy editor for my middle grade mystery. Her comments were thoughtful and I felt confident with her suggested changes. She fact-checked small details that I didn't realize were inaccurate. I also appreciated the quick turnaround time. It was a great experience working with Deborah!

Working with Kim has been an incredible experience. As a first-time author, I truly appreciated her patience and guidance every step of the way. She is not only highly skilled but also very easy to work with, friendly, approachable, and genuinely supportive. Despite her impressive credentials and accomplishments, she creates such a comfortable and relaxed working environment. I never felt intimidated, instead, I felt encouraged and understood. Her edits were excellent, clear, thoughtful, an...

Working with Siski on my third children’s book was another wonderful experience. Her hand-drawn watercolor illustrations are full of warmth and charm, and she has a special talent for bringing dogs to life with personality and heart. Siski is not only incredibly talented but also thoughtful, organized, and a joy to collaborate with. I would gladly work with her again and highly recommend her to other authors.

Rachel absolutely nailed everything! She was extremely communicative, very friendly, and overall just so fun to work with. The cover art she delivered was incredible and feels as if it were just plucked from my head. I literally could not be happier with it. I cannot wait to work with her again on the rest of this series! I highly recommend Rachel for her cover art, you'd be making a wonderful choice to add her to your book team.
