Working with Conrad was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He did far more than simply edit my manuscript—he helped me uncover more of the stories I was trying to tell. His feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and consistently pushed me to dig deeper into my characters, themes, and emotional moments without ever changing my voice as a writer. What I appreciated most was his encouragement throughout the process. Every round of edits left me feeling more motivated and more confide...

Melissa saw all the blind spots I couldn't see as a writer of my own material. She saw a lot of things I, as having done a first-time novel completion, would have naturally missed. Simply put, she has done this for a long time - and it SHOWS. SO much. In her words, her care. I have nothing but high praise for her efficacy, her knowledge and her skill.

Shaun was absolutely the right person to bring my cover to life. He was attentive, engaged, and quickly grasped the vision outlined in my brief, then took it even further, surpassing my expectations. His professionalism was impeccable throughout the project. He respected deadlines, communicated clearly at every stage, and handled each revision with real patience and flexibility. His artistic sensitivity and creativity consistently elevated the ideas I had in mind and he added touches that ma...

I can't wait to write another book so I can hire Jenny again. Professional, on-time, personable, a great communicator. And she catches mistakes that others have missed. I couldn't want a better proofreader. Plus, she loves dogs! I couldn't have asked for a better person to work on GOOD DOG with me. I know, Jenny — I should have put the title in italics and not all caps. You taught me well!

Dan was absolutely brilliant. I had a high-level piece of publishing consulting which he helped me on and gave me excellent advice and walked me through the steps I needed to take to get a non-fiction work into the hands of publishers. Dan was extremely friendly, supportive, knowledgable and gave me expert help in positioning my work. I highly recommend working with him.

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

Bryn was a joy to work with, professional, smart, insightful and very experienced. She helped push my project to the next level. And I look forward to working with her again. Five Stars!

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

Sean Strain is a consummate professional. He communicates extremely well throughout the process—and leading up to our window of work. I engaged Sean for proofreading and what I got back was very thorough. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I was impressed with the things he found and corrected—things I would have missed. The overall quality of what I got back was excellent. His updates within the manuscript and included style guide were easy to implement. He also reformatted 60+ footnot...

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

Much can be said about Rachel and her professionalism, collaborations, and insights. But two simple words best describe her: she cares. Cares about her craft, her writers and authors, and the people around her. That's it. Plain and simple. She simply cares. You can feel it in everything she does and says, from her tweaks and edits, to her conversational mentorship, encouragements, and kindnesses. Yes, she simply and genuinely just cares. Period end.

Not only did Chris make some recommendations and tweaks that helped me paint a better picture of my story, he answered some additional questions related to the writing process. Including the next steps to take if I want to turn my story into something more. Good energy, great feedback, and really great work all around!

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 ...
