Laura's feedback definitely exceeded my expectations; it was a good critical mix that I can really see and understand what I need to do to make my story better. I would work with her again :)

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...

Sarah was wonderful to work with throughout the publishing process of my memoir. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. As a first-time independent author using IngramSpark, I greatly appreciated her guidance, attention to detail, and calm professionalism during what could have been a very overwhelming process. She helped bring my book to life and made me feel confident moving forward with publication. I truly value her dedication and highly recomme...

My uncle once said, "You never waste money when you hire an expert." Not only is Sarah an expert designer but she's also a true collaborator—flexible, egoless, and enthusiastic. She put her all into designing a cover that I'm really pleased with, she kept us on schedule, and she equipped me with the files I'll need to print and market my book.

Working with John has been an outstanding experience. He brings a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to the process. His insights strengthened my manuscript, and his communication made every step smooth and enjoyable. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services.

Sarah is an exceptional editor with a thorough understanding of how to take a manuscript to the next level. I knew from our first interaction that she was a consummate professional as she set the tone for our working relationship with kindness and efficiency. She delivered her suggestions and advice promptly with an obvious eye for detail and care . She just gets it! I am so pleased to have found an editor that is reliable and insightful. I highly recommend Sarah.

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

Tom has created a beautiful author's website for me that captures the setting of my novel while maintaining professionalism. He has been helpful with any problems and his communication and availability is great. I can't recommend Tom highly enough. Thanks for bringing my vision into reality!

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

I expected a professional assessment of my memoir, Border Haze: A Cold War Illusion, and thoughtful recommendations for improving it. Mikayla gave me much more than that. Her work included detailed comments throughout the manuscript and a comprehensive editorial letter addressing the book as a whole. What impressed me most was how completely the two worked together. The letter identified themes, character arcs, structural patterns, and connections running throughout the manuscript. Her indiv...

Andreea was exceptional from the very beginning. From my first request, she asked specific questions about the work I wanted done, including source files, page count, and KDP requirements, and she was clear about her timelines and workload throughout. She sketched lettering options before building anything, then delivered custom title lettering that perfectly matched the artwork (the playful eye in the O is a nice touch). She also spotted a composition issue on my third cover that I would hav...

It was a pleasure working with Raúl. His design way exceeded my expectations, and his commitment to the project was truly admirable. I appreciate that he adapted very well to my suggestions and took into consideration my book's contents to deliver the best cover. His timeliness and the value of his work are worth noting. I will definitely work with him in the future. Thank you for everything!

I can not recommend Andreea Zabulic highly enough. Not only is her work of the highest quality, but her dedication to the project is phenomenal. She was VERY prompt in responding to every question or request I had, and she was extraordinarily patient, helpful, and professional. The project we worked on was very complex but her work exceeded all the expectations I had for it. She will be my first choice for any future projects that I have. Hire her! She’s absolutely at the top of her profess...

Where do I even begin with Sean? As a first-time author, I walked into this process nervous and honestly a little lost — and I walked out with a finished book I'm beyond proud of, and what feels like a lifelong friend. Sean is AMAZING. And I don't throw that word around. From day one, he treated my book like it was his own. This wasn't just editing — he helped me restructure, rewrite, and rethink pieces of my memoir in ways that made it so much stronger, and he did it all while protecting my...
