Holly provided a developmental edit on my 68,000-word memoir. She delivered a thorough editorial letter plus over 100 inline comments, but what impressed me most was how deeply she engaged with the material. She didn't just fix things, she helped me understand what the book was actually about. Her structural feedback was specific and actionable: where to open, what to move, which characters needed more presence. She identified tense inconsistencies I'd been blind to and gave me grammar lesso...

Michael is the copilot you want for your book. He’s the Goose to your Maverick. What a wonderful companion to have in this incredibly vast space of editing. I believe him to be sincere and he took his time on the subject matter and heart of my story. There is a soul behind the words we write and Michael catches the essence with a grace and knowledge only few possess. Honestly time is the greatest gift you can give someone. Even if we pay for it, he didn’t hurry through my story. I really enjo...

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

Outstanding service from start to finish. Matthew took my requirements and came back to me with an incredible amount of detailed analysis and reasoning behind his recommendations. I took them all and haven't looked back. His expertise is obvious from the very first message and his attention to detail and methodical approach elevated my desire for a new website into something far greater. He genuinely made a huge difference to helping me prepare for the launch of my book, not to mention me...

Chiara was great and listened to what I wanted. She was responsive and finished work on time. I enjoyed working with her!

Working with Mark was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. From the first round of designs, it was clear that he not only understood the technical aspects of book design, but also had a unique ability to truly capture the tone and emotional depth of the work. *Welcome Home* is a deeply personal and reflective book, and Mark translated that into a cover and interior that feel calm, inviting, and beautifully aligned with the message. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and wi...

I absolutely loved working with Joanna, it is my first book and she was incredibly helpful guiding me through the process. Once I'm finished with the revisions I will be seeking her advice again as a Copyeditor. Highly recommend

Teri, not only did a superb indexing job for my 680 page nonfiction history, she also caught errors in the text. She finished the job way ahead of schedule. I could not be more pleased! She is a keeper and I will call upon her services again.

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.

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

I selected Sebastian after interviewing several designers and conducting thorough research. From the very beginning, his credentials, portfolio, and thoughtful communication stood out and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. Throughout the process, that confidence only deepened. Sebastian designed the full visual identity of my book, including six original illustrations, five symbolic illustrations plus an additional detailed illustration, each of which was beautifully a...

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.

Working with Svitlana was amazing!! She took my cover and elevated it just how I imagined it. She really cares about you and your vision.
