Eli is an outstanding editor and was an invaluable part of making my book stronger. He was thorough, honest, insightful, and delivered on time. He doesn’t pull punches—when something wasn’t working, he told me why and, more importantly, gave me practical ways to address the issue. He helped me address problems with plot holes, consistency, character development, pacing, emotional impact, and how to create stakes early and keep readers hooked. He also challenged me to develop an ending that w...

Charlie was wonderful to work with very responsiveness , did everything I needed made great suggestions right to the end. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for his skill and professionalism.

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...

I can't recommend Sam highly enough. His editorial assessment of my thriller was everything I needed - thorough, insightful, and delivered with the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. Sam treated me as a fellow writer rather than just a client. He gave me confidence in the strengths of my manuscript while fearlessly challenging the structural issues that needed addressing. His critique of the ending has definitely given me work to do, but he was absolutely right to pick up on it,...

John was great to work with.

Krista is hands-down the editor every author dreams of finding. She has an astonishing eye for micro-details, catching everything from factual accuracy and geographic nuances to intricate blocking mechanics and echoes that easily slip past the eye. Most importantly, she never tried to change who my characters were or touch the heart of my plot; she simply enhanced my voice and made the narrative shine. Her constant encouragement and clear, collaborative communication turned what could have be...

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

Sophie is amazing. She provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on all areas of my writing. She was extremely responsive and thorough in her review. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

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...

Val proofread my novel The Sovereign and caught way more than I expected. Not just typos and style sheet inconsistencies, but continuity and timeline issues I had stopped noticing. Her notes always gave me options instead of telling me what to do, so the book still sounds like me. Great experience, would hire her again.

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...

I had the pleasure of working with Saranne again for the final edit of Stanley Tails: A Rescue Dog’s Adventures – Book 1, and I could not be happier with the experience. Saranne did a beautiful job preparing the manuscript for the next stage of the publishing process and for my illustrator. Her editing is thoughtful, perceptive, and respectful of the author’s voice. She has a wonderful ability to recognize what a story needs while still allowing it to remain unmistakably the writer’s own. W...

I hired Kate to do an editorial assessment of my memoir. I chose her based on the excellent reviews she’s received and her experience with this genre. Working with Kate met—and exceeded—my already high expectations. The more I sit with her thorough and detailed assessment, the more my understanding of my story's strengths and how I can improve it deepens. Kate brought depth, sensitivity, and considerable skill to the process. She gave me invaluable high‑level direction along with practical, c...

Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

Ceileigh has been incredible to work with! She took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish with the story (and the books that will follow) to make sure they will tie together. Her developmental edit shed light on things I had missed touching on, suggestions on how to improve the impact in certain areas, what scenes felt unearned, and provided positive feedback on the things I did well. Since this is my first book I didn't know what to expect, but any expectation I did have she...
