Working with Becky Wallace has been one of the greatest privileges of my journey as an author. Becky has masterfully edited the last three books in my series, and her work has elevated every aspect of my writing. She possesses a rare combination of sharp editorial precision, deep storytelling insight, and genuine respect for an author’s voice. Becky expertise isn't limited to correcting grammar or restructuring sentences, she will strengthen the heart of your story. Her edits consistently sh...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

Patsy produced such a gorgeous design for my upper middle-grade historical novel! This is a challenging category to illustrate because covers need to show the book is for young people without looking too childish, and showcase the historical setting while still looking "cool" to tween readers. Patsy took the time to read my manuscript, research the culture and then produced a design that exactly captured the atmosphere of the book. Over the weeks that we worked together, she was consistently...

All I can say is wow! Mark went above and beyond and I am incredibly happy with my cover. He was a consummate professional from the outset. His response to my request for bids was another level compared to his competitors who also responded. He understood my book and what I was trying to convey. The cover design did an amazing job communicating that. I used to be a graphic designer and so I was pretty nitpicky about minor changes. Mark handled my requests with grace and speed. We had a seamle...

Agustin was extremely professional I was really impressed by the quality of his work and the completion of the translation within the time frame established even beating the date by a week. His work was extraordinary to say the least he did an excellent work overall. I can highly recommend his work.

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

I had a fantastic experience working with Trinity and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional editor. She was extremely timely, responsive, and polished throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish with my manuscript and was willing to make multiple edits and adjustments along the way to make sure everything came together exactly as I envisioned. Her attention to detail and professionalism really stood out, and the fin...

I'll always be grateful to Christina, a wonderful editor who truly cares. Once Upon a Boxer is my first book: the true story of our family, our Boxers and our beloved Mala, with each chapter closing on one value they taught us, from compassion to hope. Handing something that personal to a stranger was scary, but Christina made me feel safe from the start. She answered every question I had, however small, and never rushed me. She explained every change and never took my voice away. Her littl...

My first experience working with an editor. Emily was great. Everything suggested made sense. Very knowledgeable, detailed, and I was amazed that she was well ahead of schedule. Nothing but good things to say.

Reading through Rachel's changes, suggestions and comments was like receiving a masterclass in line editing. If/when I write another book, I will ask her to be on the team. Her edits brought clarity while retaining my voice. Her precision was such that when I accepted an edit in track changes mode, it came with perfect formatting. Her guidance on attributions and sources spared me from mistakes I otherwise would have made. Rachel's touch has elevated the book to a more polished--and easily re...

Fantastic translation of my book. Professional. Quick-working. Easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs Spanish translation work done.

Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

I was very impressed with the work Kristen did for me! Overall, my experience was great, as she delivered her edits quickly and efficiently while providing in-depth comments and suggestions. Since poetry is so subjective, I wanted an editor who would offer insight and edits without erasing my specific voice/style. And that she did! Kristen provided an editorial overview letter that pointed out my strengths and weaknesses and offered insight into the edits and suggestions she made throughout m...

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.
