Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. It was great to bounce ideas off her and she constantly made me reassess what I’d written with thought provoking questions and pertinent comments. I look forward to working with her again on my follow up novel. Thank you Michelle for everything!

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

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Collette was such a pleasure to work with and she translated my design ideas beautifully. She was very patient and accomodating with my revision requests and she made sure the final design was exactly to my liking. I’m so happy with the final design and would absolutely work with her again.

Working with Sean Strain was one of the most valuable decisions I made in bringing The Inner Advantage to life. His editorial instinct is precise without being prescriptive, his feedback comes with the kind of clarity that moves a manuscript forward rather than sideways, and his ability to adapt to the rhythm of a project that kept evolving showed a professionalism that is genuinely rare. Sean never imposed his voice on mine. He sharpened it. If you are a writer looking for an editor who resp...

Helen improved my initial Book Blurb with her experience and insight, understanding my intent and improving its voice. As a first-time author and writer, she gave an objectivity to my raw just-getting-my-thoughts-down-on-paper writing while suggesting a better style.

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

With Travis you're getting a true pro and - importantly - candor. His feedback is direct, honest, and fair and immensely helpful whether looking at minor copy edits, structural emphasis, or the big picture of storytelling. He's got a great eye for what can take the story to the next level and I'm confident that he significantly elevated not just my work but my understanding of the craft.

Working with Victoria on my cover was such a pleasure. From the very start, she did something I didn't expect she actually read and asked questions about the book, and came to our early conversations with deep, thoughtful suggestions to help the vision and what I was trying to do. That care set the tone for everything that followed; she's a wonderful listener and a truly collaborative partner. The brief was a tricky one; it needed to hold real tension between bold and warm, professional and ...

Erin was tremendously helpful. Her very constructive criticism is serious, and because she offers feedback from the POV of both a professional editor/writer, and 12 year old reader (not all editors can do this well), the edit is invaluable. She enabled me to see what wasn’t working, why, and what to do about it. Will be returning to Erin for more help soon.

It was a pleasure to work with Deborah. As a first time author she was very patient with me and walked me through the process in a way that I understood. I am looking forward to working with again as I have already requested that we work together when I finish my next book. I promised her it won't be so many commas the next time.

Veronica did an outstanding job bringing the vision for Social Media Melted My Brain (and I Still Pressed Post) to life. From the very beginning, she understood the tone and message behind the book and translated that vision into a bold, eye-catching design that perfectly captures its humor and commentary. Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to take abstract ideas and turn them into visually engaging artwork made the entire process feel seamless and collaborative. What impressed...

My uncle once said, "You never waste money when you hire an expert." Not only is Sarah an expert designer but she's also a true collaborator—flexible, egoless, and enthusiastic. She put her all into designing a cover that I'm really pleased with, she kept us on schedule, and she equipped me with the files I'll need to print and market my book.

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

Kathy was great--her thoughtfulness and feedback went above and beyond. I felt like she was truly invested in the project and saw its potential. her suggestions for rewrites were spot on and very constructive. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and will once the rewrites are complete.
