My experience with Laura has been fantastic! She not only helped me improve my manuscript, but she also encouraged me when I felt overwhelmed or unsure. Laura helped me fix a boring backstory dump; she caught a POV problem in my climactic scene; and she offered guidance with my problematic dream sequences. In addition, Laura assisted me with the genre of my book. My manuscript was stuck solidly in a state of limbo between genres, but with Laura’s guidance and revision suggestions, I ...

An absolute awesome partner and worked diligently to turn this project around on a tight timeline.

I worked with Ben on my query package and opening pages, and it was the most valuable step in my querying process. His feedback was genuinely practical. He suggested some great edits and explained why they mattered, from the lens of a former writing agent. He also provides two guides, one on writing a query letter and one on finding an agent. Those guides alone are worth the price. They gave me a much stronger sense of how to approach the industry strategically. My materials are sharper and...

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...

Marta was absolutely amazing. Incredible editor, went above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

Working with Milica was great! I wanted her to be inspired by some of the writing to see what she could come up with. She provided various options for my cover art and interior design and I absolutely loved them. There was some back and forth to tweak some of the elements and Milica was always responsive and professional. I highly recommend her!

Dan has provided me excellent feedback! His recommendations were all thoughtful and highly useful in working towards a final edit. He was fully invested in the story and brought a level of enthusiasm that was highly motivating. He is an easy communicator with a very supportive and helpful manner. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good editor for a non-fiction work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Editor — Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way Working with Patricia has been one of the highlights of my publishing journey. She went truly above and beyond in every aspect of the editing process. Not only was she incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but she was deeply involved from beginning to end. She read my manuscript more times than I ever expected an editor would — and each pass brought new insights, clarity, and improvements that elevated the entire book. Pat...

Nyco was super easy to work with, very fast and responsive. He really brought my vision to life, and I'm so excited to use the artwork. Would definitely recommend and work with him again.

Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.

Kate goes above and beyond on all collaborations. I've worked with her twice now. The editorial review she gave me amazing insights into how I could improve not just my current manuscript but my overall writing. Suggestions are always helpful with reasons given. The line/copy edit collaboration has helped me to improve tone and style, stop repetition and fix everything from grammar to insights into character, making my progression fantasy seem more real. Kate sprinkles support and helpful ...

Edward is patient, kind and professional, and his phenomenal portfolio speaks for itself. If I clearly knew what I wanted, he took the idea and made it look incredible. If I wasn't sure, he came up with great solutions. I couldn't be happier with my book's cover and interior art, and can't wait to publish soon. Thank you!

Laurel's developmental edit was one of the most insightful and valuable pieces of feedback I've ever received on my writing. She didn't simply identify strengths and weaknesses. She understood the heart of the story I was trying to tell, and with greater clarity than I had myself. Her editorial report was thoughtful, perceptive, and remarkably precise. She pinpointed exactly where the manuscript could be strengthened while preserving everything that made it unique. Every recommendation felt ...

I was very grateful to find Pamela who provided efficient, quality translation for my fiction book from English to German. She understood the quirk of my writing and was able to provide parallel meanings that didn't interfere with the impact of the storyline. I look forward to working with her again for other short stories collections.
