Working with Clint was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book. From the first conversation, Clint understood exactly what I was trying to create, not just visually, but emotionally. He didn’t just design a cover; he translated the story's soul into something that feels powerful and cinematic. The level of detail, the composition, the typography, all of it was executed at a true publisher level. What impressed me most was his ability to listen and then elevate the vision ...

Richard is brilliant! I came to him with a project that I felt wasn't working, but I couldn't really articulate what I thought was problematic. Richard's editorial input was amazing -- he had great analytical insights and clarified for me what the underlying issues were. And he provided such helpful thoughts about how to go forward. I came to him feeling so disheartened about this book, not knowing what to do, and now I'm completely energized and have a very clear vision of where I need to go...

Working with Alena was a dream. She took my notes and guidance and turned them into my dream book cover. She’s easy to work with, responsive, and a truly talented artist. I’d work with Alena again in a heart beat.

Was so impressed by the speed in which Sara-Jade responded to my edit and the depth, professionalism and insight she provided. The feedback zoom meeting was equally impressive. Sara-Jade went above and beyond all of my expectations.

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

Taylor has been wonderful to work with. She's friendly, helpful and always responds quickly. Most importantly, Taylor understands how much a book means to the author and she always kept this in mind when discussing my manuscript and providing feedback.

This was my second time working with Reece-Alexander, and it was just as good an experience as working with him on Book 1. He worked quickly, listened to my feedback and made the changes I asked for. What I appreciated most was how much he brought to the cover himself. His experience showed in the way he gave Book 2 a look of its own while making it feel at home alongside Book 1. I left the back cover up to him, and his interpretation captured the mood of the story beautifully. I’m really ha...

I’m a new author, and I came to Jennifer with a 170,000-word manuscript. I knew it was too long, and honestly, I had written it more for myself than for anyone else. Before I went any further with it, I wanted an independent and honest perspective from someone who wasn’t just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. What I really wanted to know was: Is there actually a book here that someone else would want to read? Jennifer gave me exactly what I was looking for. Her developmental letter was...

Michelle did a fantastic job with my book in not only editing but teaching me a lot about citations and when and when not needed. She was very easy to communicate with and did a thorough job. I will definitely employ her again when I have the need for a sharp, and focused editor.

Working with Lia was such an incredible experience. My memoir manuscript has evolved from jumbled, stream-of-consciousness storytelling to more streamlined, vivid, and concise. Given that I'm a first-time author, I wanted to work with someone who would give honest feedback while also highlighting what I'd done well already. Lia went above and beyond to provide insight on how I could make my writing better and left positive commentary throughout, too. She always responded quickly to inquiries,...

Melissa was very prompt and professional throughout the process. She provided a clear outline of the type of work she'd be doing and made it clear she was available for questions throughout. Her work was detailed and thorough; she even made a few remarks on story issues that went above and beyond the scope of the project. Would highly recommend!

Leslie was amazing from start to finish. She was the exact reason I was looking for an editor. I knew I had a great idea and put together a strong product, but her eyes on the project made it even better. She was able to see things in my writing that I was blind to and her suggestions were spot on to fit my writing style and the picture I was trying to frame. It did not feel like she was trying to fit me into her box, but editing in a way that made it fit me. This is my second book and this e...

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...
