Flannery is, by far, the most thorough, sensitive, insightful editor I've ever worked with. She is a true gem, and I hope to work with her on future projects!

Gary was an excellent copy editor and easy to work with. He was patient, helpful, and kind, and managed to turn my manuscript into a polished book. I've already booked him again for my next project!

After an excellent coaching session with Kim, I then had her edit my first book. I learned a great deal from Kim, and she did an amazing job with my book. Kim is both friendly and professional, and I would recommend her.

Absolutely Outstanding! Jonas Brought My Vision to Life and Then Some Working with Jonas on the cover design and typography for my debut book was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with, incredibly patient, and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. As a first-time author, I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but no clue how to make it happen—Jonas not only translated my ideas into a stunning design, but elevated them beyond what I ever i...

Elizabeth was Incredibly efficient and diligent in her work. Not only this, but she also responded whenever I had a request. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough and will be using her again for my next book.

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 ...

I have really enjoyed working with Laura. The feedback I received was extremely detailed, insightful and constructive, while also being kind and encouraging. Her critique gave me a far clearer understanding of picture book structure and the editing process, as well as valuable direction on how to strengthen my current manuscript. Laura was incredibly responsive throughout the process, with fast replies, regular updates and thoughtful communication which made me feel very reassured as someone...

I had a wonderful experience working with Edyta on my children's picture book. She was professional, responsive, and a joy to collaborate with throughout the entire project. Edyta carefully considered my feedback, made revisions promptly, and brought the story to life with beautiful, warm, and engaging illustrations. She also created a polished and professional book design that exceeded my expectations. The cover is especially eye-catching and perfectly captures the spirit of the story. I...

Chad is: Smart. Creative. Clever. Efficient and practical. A clear communicator. An ideal all-around partner. I had a long career as the creative and strategic lead on many global brands. I ran a NY agency. I've worked with hundreds of talented people at all levels. If I could go back in time, I would immediately hire Chad, knowing that the teams and the clients would love his work and love working with him. This guy is great. I'm so happy I hired him. He's the real deal.

This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of indie publishing for an originally trad-published book that is very special to my heart. From Finn's enthusiastic reaction to the original cover brief and his initial creative response to his flexibility and openness to suggestions and the speed of his replies, he has made things feel easy and fun. I'm delighted with the final result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone looking for a very positive and collaborative ...

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

I can’t say enough how amazing Victoria is. The quality of her edits and comments—chef’s kiss! It’s always a little nerve-racking to have someone read and dissect your words, but with Vicky, it feels like you’re handing your baby to a best friend who’s been your hype girl for decades. Her feedback is thoughtful, supportive, and spot-on. And her turnaround is incredibly fast! 1,000,000/10 would recommend!

Jain provided me with guidance that I consider incredible. The notes and comments made throughout the text were clear and concise, enabling me to interpret and implement the suggested changes. She helped me rearrange my manuscript to read in a smooth, orderly manner. It is now a pleasure to read. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an editor. If I write another book, I will look for Jain.

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

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...
