Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

Laurel's developmental edit was one of the most insightful and valuable pieces of feedback I've ever received on my writing. She didn't simply identify strengths and weaknesses. She understood the heart of the story I was trying to tell, and with greater clarity than I had myself. Her editorial report was thoughtful, perceptive, and remarkably precise. She pinpointed exactly where the manuscript could be strengthened while preserving everything that made it unique. Every recommendation felt ...

As a first-time author writing a quasi-memoir through my essays, I needed more than just technical editing—I needed someone who could understand my vision and help me bring these deeply personal stories to life. Mika exceeded every expectation. From our very first interaction, Mika took the time to truly understand what I was trying to accomplish with my book. Writing personal essays is an incredibly vulnerable process, and Mika created a supportive environment that made me feel empowered ra...

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work with such care that I quickly knew she was the right person to help preserve my voice while enhancing the manuscript. What initially felt like a daunting process became something I genuinely enjoyed than...

Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated the time she made for me and the thoughtfulness with which she approached my work. She made me consider many new directions to strengthen my manuscript, and that was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely look to work with her again on future projects.

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

Connor did an outstanding job. He brought clarity to my vision and ensured the flow stayed smooth and engaging. I’d gladly work with him again on future projects.

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with Nate throughout the entire process of bringing my first book into fruition. From the get go, it was 100% clear that Nate read my book thoroughly, and really understood the intention of my book. Nate then put what was essentially in my brain onto the pages without me having to be overly explanatory about what I was trying to depict through the illustrations, which was greatly appreciated. Through his beautiful illustrations and book design, he t...

T.S. is outstanding to work with. Not only did he give me excellent advice, but I feel that he cares about my project and is cheering me on. After working with T.S., I am so proud of the query letter, synopsis, and other materials I have developed, and I feel prepared and confident in approaching literary agents.

When we found ourselves in a pickle and needed a job turned around fast and well, Grainne saved the day! Her meticulous work—even while working with a tight timeline—was truly impressive. Great communication, a keen eye, and the utmost professionalism are why we look forward to working with Grainne again and again on future projects.

Working with Kelly was an excellent experience. Their feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and deeply constructive. I really appreciated how respectful and collaborative their approach was, including thoughtful responses to additional questions I had. Their report was comprehensive and full of ideas I could immediately apply, and I came away from the process feeling more confident and inspired about the next draft. I highly recommend Kelly to any writer looking for a perceptive, professional...

Finding the right editor makes all the difference, and this is she! This collaboration was the best investment I could have made in my manuscript. She completed a line edit that included a one-hour video editorial consultation, as well as a review of my query letter and synopsis. The takeaways were immensely helpful. The inline comments in the manuscript provided such valuable insight through the eyes of a reader and a critic. Her feedback was objective while being highly attuned to the s...

I hired Savannah to do a developmental edit on my manuscript. The thought of finding someone to edit my work was intimidating, but Savannah came highly recommended, and it took only one conversation to know she would be the right person to collaborate with. As I write this review, I wish nothing more than to amplify the praise that others have shared. She took exceptional care of my manuscript, and provided invaluable feedback. She was easy to communicate with and provided flexibility in se...

Patricia is a wonderful translator and individual; I truly enjoy collaborating with her, and for sure I will work with her again
