Tiffani is a gem. One you might dream of finding but never do. Well, now you did.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed on my children’s STEM book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ed designed and led the illustration effort from start to finish, while always making sure my vision was front and center. The final illustrations are vibrant, engaging, and exactly what I envisioned for young readers. I’d highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an illustrator who can lead a project with professionalism and deliver exceptional work. In fact, I’m already working...

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

Zoe was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, understanding, and so fast with changes! Not only did she finish on time, she completed the work a month early once she learned of some time constraints on my end. I cannot say enough good things...and I hope to use her again soon. :)

Working with Simone R. was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. He was flexible throughout the process, accommodating my ideas while also offering helpful input where needed. Communication was clear, and he made adjustments without hesitation to ensure the final design matched exactly what I had in mind. Most importantly, he delivered a cover that aligned with my vision and felt true to the message of the book. That balance between listening and executing is not easy to...

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...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Evelina Garliauskiene — The Genius Behind OBSESSED Working with Eva was nothing short of extraordinary. She didn’t just design my book — she brought it to life. OBSESSED was never meant to be another leadership book. It’s a manifesto, a movement, a declaration of war against mediocrity — and Eva captured that energy perfectly. Every page, every font, every spacing choice felt intentional, bold, and alive. She pushed creative boundaries with me — from the right-edge pa...

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

I loved working with Victoria. Collaborating with her was a blast. She absolutely "got" my vision for the project, and everyone who has seen the cover has been blown away. I would absolutely hire her again.

Kelly Carter was absolutely amazing to work with on both the cover and interior design of my book. She was attentive, responsive, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Her artistic talent is exceptional, and she brought my vision to life beautifully. She was always easy to communicate with and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I am very thankful for her hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional des...

Louise was an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. She brought a sharp eye for detail, strong consistency across a complex fantasy–science fiction manuscript, and a clear respect for the author’s voice and world-building. She handled continuity, formatting questions, and stylistic consistency with care, and her communication was timely, thoughtful, and professional throughout the process. When she raised questions, they were always precise and helpful, and she never imposed cha...

Dominic was a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, he went above and beyond to ensure that our timeline was met and I would happily recommend him.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!

Working with Sarah on my YA novel was such a positive experience. Right from the start she was highly responsive and engaged in my story premise. This was my first experience with a professional editor and Sarah answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Most importantly, the developmental edits Sarah returned were invaluable! Sarah's edits were detailed, thorough and delivered so thoughtfully. Her attention to detail really stood out to me, as did her ability to deliver feedback in a c...
