Incredible, wonderful experience. Ann wrote up a twenty-four page editorial summary of her ideas about my Civil War novel, and gave me specific feedback on every single page of my 117,000 word document, analyzing my work line by line. And she finished right on time! Ann is smart, supportive, and offered me tremendous constructive criticism, especially with plot, pacing, and characterization. I am a history teacher, and TO LIVE A PATRIOT is my first novel. I needed a lot of help. When I hired...

Charlie was wonderful to work with very responsiveness , did everything I needed made great suggestions right to the end. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for his skill and professionalism.

It is such a pleasure to write a review for Jennifer Stimson—because oh my goodness, she is EXCEPTIONAL! I was initially drawn to Jennifer because of her excellent reviews. Then, when I saw samples of her work and started to communicate with her, I knew I was in great hands! First and foremost, I’m impressed with her talent – her artistic choices; the stylistic elements she added to my pages; her page layouts and font choices that fit the theme of my book; the polish she added to the formatt...

Katt is an extremely talented artist. I love the work he did for me and can't wait to see what he comes up with for the next book.

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

I can't say enough good things about Leila. She was insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. Her feedback helped clarify the story and strengthen its emotional core, especially through suggestions on the ending and the overall message. She was also very responsive, and her edits and notes were always constructive and easy to understand. Leila truly understood what I was trying to accomplish and helped elevate the story while still respecting my voice. I’m gr...

Working with Olga was a great experience from start to finish. She showed a high level of professionalism throughout the project. She understood the concept of the book very quickly and stayed aligned with it at every stage. This made the collaboration smooth and focused. Her attention to detail stood out. She challenged elements when needed, refined ideas with precision, and ensured the final output stayed consistent with the original vision. She was also very reliable and easy to work with...

Not only did Chris make some recommendations and tweaks that helped me paint a better picture of my story, he answered some additional questions related to the writing process. Including the next steps to take if I want to turn my story into something more. Good energy, great feedback, and really great work all around!

Claire is a writer's dream editor and proofreader. Her thorough attention to detail and responsiveness are reassuring for new authors like myself who value an expert's guidance and support. She also clearly read every word for meaning and clarity in addition to providing thoughtful comments and questions. I would work with her again without hesitation!

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...

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.

I had an excellent experience working with Cyra on my book project. She translated the manuscript from English into German with great accuracy, maintaining the tone and intent perfectly throughout. Her turnaround time was impressively fast, and her communication was clear and professional at every stage. The pricing was fair for the high quality of work delivered. I’m very happy with the final result and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable and skilled translation.

Beau is amazing! My story is only in the beginning phase and Beau has been able to provide me with so much feedback and insight. I’ve been able to talk through my plot and the story development and end up with more material to work with. My brain fog has been lifted thanks to Beau’s in-depth review and my excitement has been renewed just from hearing Beau’s interest and enthusiasm around the story. Can’t wait to collaborate with them again and I couldn’t recommend Beau enough.

I am very happy about the support from Bryony and would work with her again anytime.

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...
