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 Becky on my first book was a truly valuable experience. Her feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and always focused on strengthening the story while respecting my creative vision. Beyond editing the manuscript, she provided insightful suggestions and a comprehensive style guide that will continue to help me grow as a writer. Her professionalism, clarity, and genuine care for the project made the entire process smooth and inspiring. I’m very grateful for her work and ...

Sharon was an absolute delight to work with. She kept me updated as she worked through my manuscript and was available for amendment feedback as well. Her comments were constructive and thoughtfully worded – something I really appreciated as a first-time author. As well as grammar, punctuation and word usage, she helped tighten up and improve the flow of my prose, and also pointed out where things got a little vague. I feel so much more confident in my writing thanks to her insight and I will...

Mine was a difficult project - review the sequel of an unpublished first novel. One other person described the project as 'the literary equivalent of surgical separation of Siamese twins'. That said, I was blown away by the quality of the output I got from Elayne. Her comments were accurate, insightful, helpgul and nuanced. I have worked with a number of editors, and while all have been good, this was a different level. It was extremely helpful to get the perspective of a multiply-published...

Working with Eva on the cover of Every Step of the Way was an amazing experience. She is incredibly creative and gave a face to my book, taking all of my ideas into account so that together we created something truly beautiful. She was kind, communicative, and incredibly patient throughout the process. I am so thankful we crossed paths—she treated my novel with the same care and respect that I hold for it, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. THANK YOU EVA <3

Working with Cathy was an absolute pleasure. She brought sharp editorial instincts to every manuscript, catching inconsistencies we had overlooked while preserving the author's voice throughout. Her turnaround time impressed me, efficient without ever feeling rushed or superficial. What stood out most was her communication style: clear, constructive, and always solution-oriented. When she flagged an issue, she came with suggestions rather than just problems. I would recommend her without hesi...

Amanda was great to work with! She was very communicative (even when I wasn't) and was able to work with my restraints and budget. At the end she gave a great assessment and response to my work which just makes me feel like this whole thing is worth it. But she was great overall and I would definitely recommend her to my writing friends.

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Fast. Thorough. Easy to work with. Great work.

Lisa is amazing and it was the easiest decision to have her do the cover for my second book after she did the first. Highly recommend!

Working with Kristin has been one of the most transformative experiences of my writing life. She approaches editing with both surgical precision and deep empathy for the work, balancing line-level craft with an extraordinary birds-eye view of the manuscript as a whole. Her editorial assessment didn’t just mark places to tighten or expand—it revealed the architecture of my collection in a way I hadn’t fully seen myself. She highlighted thematic arcs, tonal consistencies, and structural streng...

Jaime was extremely helpful, very professional and got the work done in the required time. I loved working with her, and it was really great experience to having my first editor ever look at something I wrote. She was very prompt, very nice and I seemed like we clicked from the start which was nice, it was like talking with a friend! She also has helped fine tune my manuscript and point out things I did not notice before which has helped my book become even better!

I can't say enough good things about Helen. She was an absolute dream to work with and provided a thorough, insightful review of my manuscript, along with practical suggestions that genuinely improved the story. Helen understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and her feedback strengthened the manuscript while still preserving my voice. Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...

Laurie Bernstein is an outstanding editor and professional in the publishing industry. Her credentials are beyond excellent, and she brings her authentic expertise to the work. She is meticulous, patient, and gracious. I handed her a manuscript that was riddled with errors and duplications. She sent me back a manuscript that provided clear directions for possible improvements, encouraged me to think deeply about my message and story, and to keep working toward excellence. Thanks to Laurie. I ...

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...
