What a great experience this was! As a first-time author, it far exceeded my expectations. I didn’t know what to expect, or just how much her guidance would elevate my manuscript. She led me through the process with kindness and skill—not only helping improve the book itself, but helping me grow as a writer. She genuinely cared about both my story and my success as an author. Highly recommended.

Lucy was an absolute delight to work with for a developmental edit of my novel! She was a true professional in every aspect of the project - from communication, edits, to quality of work delivered. I was nervous about my first time working with an editor but it could not have been easier. Lucy clearly communicated what was to be expected and when. The notes she provided through her edit were thoughtful, insightful, and presented in a way that prevented me from getting overwhelmed. Her feedbac...

If what you're looking for is a professional, experienced, smart, articulate, sincere editor to join you on the journey of your work, then Jackson is your guy. Excellent across the board. Exceeded my expectations in ways I wasn't expecting. And that, dear writer friends, was the kind of author fuel I was hoping for. Terrific editor and person. Just do it.

Working with Hannah was incredible. She delivered the developmental edit ahead of schedule, was always available for my questions and brought out the best in my manuscript. Her suggestions sparked my curiosity, leading me to see my charcters and scenes in a new light-even the few I needed to discard. I've worked with an editor before, but Hannah's guidance was and is invaluable. I would recommend her one thousand percent!

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work with such care that I quickly knew she was the right person to help preserve my voice while enhancing the manuscript. What initially felt like a daunting process became something I genuinely enjoyed than...

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Kristen. Not only has she championed my novel as if it were her own, she’s also gone above and beyond to ensure it’s in the best possible shape for publication. Her feedback has been super helpful, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again in the future :) I’d definitely recommend her to any author looking for someone who approaches their book with passion, care and professionalism.

Stephanie took my ideas and turned them into something magical for my book cover! She was very professional and outlined her process and milestones in her offer. She kept me updated on her progress, and she was very open to any suggestions or questions I had. I would definitely recommend her for your projects!

Working with Taylor was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire process of writing my first book. From our very first interaction, it was clear that he genuinely cared about helping me create the best book possible—not just correcting grammar or making edits. He provided thoughtful guidance, challenged me when something could be stronger, and helped me understand the "why" behind his suggestions, which was invaluable as a first-time author. What I appreciated most was that Tay...

Shenny responds quickly, communicates clearly, and kept me up to date on what was going on even when my input wasn't needed. I was originally just looking for a web page setup but opted for a full branding package as well, pretty much on a whim since it was within my budget, and I'm glad I did! The palette and look/vibe she came up with were exactly what I didn't know I was looking for (if you've ever spent hours on Pinterest looking for ideas without being able to actually pinpoint anything,...

This is the fifth project I've worked with Victoria on and she's just wonderful. I really enjoy working with her. She's professional, helpful, timely, and fun to work with. Her feedback is valuable and well thought out. I highly recommend her!

I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough. As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to a developmental editor felt incredibly daunting, but Lucy made the whole experience enjoyable, supportive and inspiring. From the very beginning, she understood exactly where I wanted to take my book and helped me get there. She never tried to change my voice or make the book sound like someone else. Instead, she enhanced it, helping me express my ideas more clearly while keeping it authentically me....

Title: Exceptional designer and collaborator Working with Andy was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a first-time author navigating the design process, I had plenty of ideas but very little experience translating those ideas into an actual book cover. Andy was incredibly patient throughout the process. He took the time to listen, interpret my thinking, and guide me through the creative decisions without ever making the process feel overwhelming. What impressed me most was ...

Megan was a delight to work with, making the entire design process simple and painless. My book looks fantastic, and I'm very pleased with the results! Megan provided excellent communication, and her turnaround time on everything, including changes, was speedy. Highly recommend her!!

I collaborated with Jo on a full manuscript edit, and I was very pleased with her approach and the result. The process was professional, well-organised, and collaborative, with a shared digital workspace that made tracking changes, discussing decisions, and giving feedback easy, fostering true partnership. As a first-time author, I appreciated her supportive experience. Her editorial judgment was consistently strong. She confidently identified sections that needed reworking for clarity, paci...
