This was my third time working with Eleanor, and it was the third book in a series. She remembered details from books one and two, and did an amazing job of making sure that the third book aligned with each. Her suggestions are always spot-on, and I appreciate her attention to detail. I would definitely work with her again!

Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

Working with Nuno and Rui has been such a gift. Nuno has this rare ability to instantly “get it” — my vision, my tone, even the things I couldn’t always articulate — and turn it into design that feels exactly right. His creative eye is unmatched, but what made the process even better was his patience, professionalism, and care at every step. Rui’s typesetting work was equally thoughtful and precise, bringing the words to life on the page in a way that feels seamless and intentional. Together...

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 ...

I couldn't have asked for a better creative partner than Wayne Oram. Realizing this was my first children's book, Wayne was exceptionally patient with me throughout this journey. What's more, he shared valuable insights along the way that brought out the best in my writing. When it comes to illustrators, few can do what Wayne does. His ability to bring characters to life is truly impressive. His whimsical drawings create a special kind of magic you can almost feel as your eyes explore each...

Alex was wonderful to work with. As a first-time author, I didn't know what I didn't know. Alex is an experienced book cover designer who delivered beautiful work and communicated promptly, expertly, and calmly at all times! His ability to talk me through the process was a value add, since he was knowledgeable about certain aspects of book creation that I didn't know about. I appreciate very much getting the chance to work with Alex and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Nicola was SO wonderful to work with! She very quickly responded to me, set a finish date, and finished *before* said date, which was wonderful. But most importantly, she sent me the most thoughtful notes that dove into plot, structure, character development, age range, marketability, and more. Everything I needed to know to help me make it the best it can possibly be! She even shared which house she thought it could be the best fit for, which I so appreciated. And she was just so lovely with...

David is an incredibly talented and imaginative illustrator with a rare gift for bringing ideas to life. He took a concept that felt very difficult to visualize and transformed it into something truly special, far beyond what I had imagined. He immediately understood my vision and created illustrations full of energy, charm, and personality that elevated the entire story. His creativity helped turn the manuscript into a beautiful, engaging short chapter book. On top of his talent, David was ...

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

John was timely, collaborative, and professional throughout the editing process. He gave thoughtful feedback that strengthened the manuscript while preserving my voice. Most importantly, it always felt like he genuinely cared about the book. I’d recommend him to any author looking for not just an editor, but a true partner in the process.

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

As a first-time indie author, working with Tee was an absolute game-changer. Her feedback was instrumental in not only getting my manuscript on the right track but also in equipping me with guidance I can carry forward into future projects. She didn’t just provide editing notes, but she offered insights, tools, and explanations that deepened my understanding of the craft and the publishing process. Tee's keen eye for detail, supportive approach, and thorough understanding of industry standar...

Sarah did an amazing job on my manuscript. Not only did she spot typos, she identified phrases that were mismatched for a particular generation or geographical location. She's thorough, attentive, and professional. Without a doubt, I'll ask her to edit my next work. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and talent. My novel is much improved because of her input. Thank you, Sarah. D. M. Reed

Chris is excellent to work with. He does great editing work, gave my book the direction it needed, and handed me a way forward with how to proceed from where we left off. With his insights into navigating literary and screen agents, publishing, screen rights, and anything else that might come up, we created a strong and exciting proposal document. Thanks again, Chris! I'm looking forward to working together in the future!

I can't say enough good things about Catherine. She took my messy first draft that was more stream of consciousness than a manuscript and transformed it into a book I am genuinely proud of. She has an exceptional ability to preserve an author's voice while bringing clarity, structure, and flow to the writing. Throughout the process, she was thoughtful, insightful, encouraging, and incredibly professional. I truly couldn't have asked for a better editor, and I wouldn't trust my work with anyon...
