Shannon was such a joy to work with! She poured so much heart and creativity into my book, and her illustrations brought the story to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She was professional, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and fun. I especially appreciated how invested she was in the story itself—it truly felt like a collaboration. I’m so grateful for her talent and care, and I would absolutely work with her again!

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 ...

Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...

Philip was meticulous and masterful in his editing of my manuscript of my memoir. The grammar and spelling fixes were done uniformly, and I was provided with an extensive and exhaustive style sheet as a reference for myself, as well as whatever hands the manuscript might pass through in the future. In regards to the syntax, he pored over the entire thing and polished and streamlined the prose in a way that wasn't just economical and efficient, but artistic and lyrical. He also identified any ...

As a first-time author, handing my manuscript over to someone else was a little intimidating. Within the first few pages of Bryn's comments, I knew I had chosen the right editor. She has a wonderful ability to point out areas that can be strengthened while also celebrating what is already working. Her feedback was thoughtful, encouraging, and incredibly insightful. She never made me feel like I needed to rewrite my story or change my voice. Instead, she helped me see where I could dig a litt...

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

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...

Jennifer is a fantastic editor. She was super easy to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond when I needed extra support. She provided thoughtful feedback and was the first person to let me know when my character wouldn't behave a certain way! Sometimes, it felt like she knew my characters more than I did in the moment. I loved working with Jennifer and truly recommend her to anyone that is seeking out a book coach. This was one of the best experiences I've had working with a...

Lorna was extremely patient and helpful as she guided me through the process. She is a meticulous proofreader, did an amazing job.

I could not recommend Ellie enough!! She is an incredibly talented web designer, capable of bringing even your craziest visions to life, but more than that, she is just an absolute joy to work with!! She is professional, but has so much enthusiasm and passion for her craft. She is responsive, even whilst accommodating crazy time zone differences. Her work is incredibly high quality, and she even goes the extra mile to be sure that you have everything you could possibly need, including trainin...

I'm the queen of the typos, have a problem with ....s and ,s, and Jennifer had all the right answers in her red pen. She was easy to work with and responsive. I couldn't be happier with her work product and her work ethic. I enjoyed working with her from my nervously handing over my book to her handing it back with clear, focused edits.

My project is not finished but up til now all my interactions with Tom have been enormously useful. I chose Tom because he seemed to respond with some actual interest in my story and not with an 'Okay, I could do this." sort of comment. I feel that Tom took the time to get into the tone and spirit of my story. He gave me valuable feedback on what he understood as he read and what was confusing. I don't want to confuse my 8 year old reader! I hope to continue to work with Tom until this p...

Misha did a wonderful job with my manuscript. I know that details are the name of the game for a copy editor, but when working with something that's a high fantasy, Mysha did a wonderful job corralling my writing and catching the slips that I made. Going through her comments, it was reassuring to see everything that Mysha suggested tweaking and she often explained why she might keep something the same or change it, giving me a good learning experience as a writer for what I need to keep in mi...

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.
