Working with Shannon has been one of the greatest blessings in my writing journey. She has edited five of my books, and with each one, she proves again why she is absolutely indispensable. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—nothing slips past her. She catches the smallest inconsistencies, tightens the narrative, and ensures every word earns its place. Her skill in reorganizing timelines—dates, times, and sequences—is nothing short of amazing. Whenever I drift, she gently but firmly ste...

I have sent Sam three children's stories to date. He makes each scene more lively and suggest ideas that I had never thought of. Sam makes editing a stress free process!

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...

I worked with V on a query package consultation. At the time, I had thirty rejections and one full request. The very first reply after I integrated V's feedback was a full request from a dream agent—someone I never thought I'd even have a chance with. The pricing was extremely reasonable (if anything, I expected to pay more) for everything I got out of it. If I don't get agented on this manuscript, I intend to hire V before I send out a single query on my next project. Cannot recommend them h...

I recommend India for her outstanding work and professionalism. She was thorough, detail-oriented, and always responded promptly to any of my questions. Her communication was clear, efficient, and reliable throughout the entire editing process. Her suggestions and corrections were invaluable in refining my manuscript. She not only improved the clarity and flow of the text but also enhanced the overall quality of the book. I would not hesitate to work with India again. She has a wonderful wa...

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

Working with Molly as my developmental editor was the BEST thing I could have possibly done for my book. Her feedback was a game-changer. She has a rare talent for seeing both the big picture AND providing surgical insights that, together, were the secret sauce to elevate my messy manuscript into the book it deserved to be. She was also lovely to work with: warm but honest. Even her harshest notes always felt infused with her genuine belief in the story. I am so grateful for Molly's partnersh...

Laura exceeded my expectations, and, if she'll have me, I hope to continue working with her over the next few months. Her industry experience and skills will definitely help me navigate the picture book landscape and enable me to write better structured books, and better stories. In addition, she has a wonderful way about her and is lovely to communicate with! 10/10

I can't say enough good things about Catherine. She took my messy first draft that was more stream of consciousness than a manuscript and transformed it into a book I am genuinely proud of. She has an exceptional ability to preserve an author's voice while bringing clarity, structure, and flow to the writing. Throughout the process, she was thoughtful, insightful, encouraging, and incredibly professional. I truly couldn't have asked for a better editor, and I wouldn't trust my work with anyon...

Very professional, excellent edits and supporting notes. Would definitely recommend Jessica and hope to work with her again.

I give Nina Roy the highest marks possible in all areas. She's simply amazing and I cannot say enough great things about her. Her work far exceeded my expectations- she praises what is good and takes the time and care to discuss what doesn't. Her suggestions about how to fix problem areas are of great help to me. Nina is so thorough and all her communqués just bubble with dedication to be of service too her client. I think she's a fabulous asset to my book and well worth the money that was re...

Travis was absolutely GOLDEN throughout this entire process! His intuitive touch brought a level of depth to my novel that I didn’t even know was possible. Every step of the way, he demonstrated incredible patience, integrity, and true professionalism. I can’t recommend him highly enough—if you’re ready to take your work to the next level, Travis is the man. 👏🏿👏🏿
