I loved working with Diletta! She delivered exactly what I asked for, and went above and beyond to provide options and opportunities for collaboration. I would definitely recommend her.

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.

Hannah was great!! She knows story and loves talking story. She went above and beyond to make sure my script was solid.

Steven was great! He completed revamped my author website in preparation for my new book release. He was very responsive and patient with all of my questions regarding the new format! I highly recommend his services!

Outstanding editor with a meticulous eye. She listened to my concerns (protecting my voice and tone). Emily was not afraid to voice her thoughts and suggestions, almost all of her suggestions were used during the edit. We lucked out when we chose Emily to edit the book and look forward to working with her again for all of the remaining edits and if there are any future books.

I’m a first time author and selected Andrea based on her profile details. She was amazing to work with. She paid attention to the finest detail. Her feedback was clear. She culminated very well, meeting all deadlines. She was patient with me as I navigated writing for the first time. I can’t wait to work with her again on future publications.

This is for first-time novelists. I consider myself very lucky to have found Emma. As a debut novelist with a wicked case of impostor syndrome, she turned out to be the perfect therapy: a brilliant editorial eye for what matters, sensitive to preserving your voice, always encouraging, but with an attention to detail you can count on. This review is something she hasn’t had a chance to edit, and I think we can all agree it has suffered as a result. People who write about impostor syndrome—or ...

I am delighted to share my experience working Eleanor as editor, whose professionalism, insight, and dedication made an extraordinary difference in bringing my manuscript to publication readiness. From the outset, their communication was clear, timely, and highly organized. Deadlines were consistently met, and I always felt confident that my work was in capable and committed hands. Their responsiveness and willingness to engage in thoughtful discussion ensured that every stage of the process ...

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...

Working with Lisa has been the most valuable step in bringing my book to a truly professional level. As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what made a book stand out and get to a professional level. Lisa guided me through that learning curve with clarity, expertise, and genuine care. Her feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and delivered with a perfect balance of honesty and encouragement. She didn’t just point out what could be improved; she helped me understand why it mattered, offering insi...

Working with Bo has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. He brought professionalism, care, patience, and deep editorial skill to my book, The Art of Cash Flow: Her Journey in Treasury, Resilience, and Financial Transformation. As a first-time author, I needed not only editorial support but also guidance, reassurance, and a steady hand through the final stages of preparing the manuscript for publication. Bo provided all of this with great dedication. He helped shape the manusc...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

This was my second book working with Mozelle. She is fantastic. I am never in the dark. I always know what to expect with her because of her great communication. I have learned so much with her. She doesn't just send back files and leave you to figure out anything. Her explanations are extremely thorough, and I really feel good with each interaction. I will hire her every time if I am able.

Great edit with high attention to detail. HIghly recommend!
