Okay.... I'm losing count of how many times Mark and I have worked together over the years and I'm running out of superlatives (bad admission for an author, I know). If you are looking for a strategic-minded book designer, do yourself a favor and see if he's available. He is the best.

Working with Carol Trow was the single best decision I made for my book. As an inexperienced author, I needed more than just an editor; I needed a guide, and Carol was exceptional in every way. Her critiques were not only professional and objective but truly invaluable. She has a rare talent for seeing the heart of a project and knowing exactly how to make it stronger. Her patience was remarkable, but what stood out most was her genuine concern, not just for the success of my book, but for my...

Working with Mary Ann was a wonderful experience! She was quick to respond to feedback and did an incredible job of capturing the vibes of my story. I couldn't be happier with how the cover turned out!

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

This is my third book cover now from Baris, and I continue to be amazed. I told Baris I wanted this cover to be the most bizarre of the series, and he came back with incredible concept art just days later. We even added on an interior illustration again, and it was painless. Always professional, always on time, fantastic to work with. My book covers get non-stop compliments, and for me they're a joy to look at too. Thanks again for all the work Baris. Hire him, trust me. It's worth it.

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

Working with Cynthia has been an exceptional experience. She combined a sharp editorial eye with genuine care for my project. Her revisions made my manuscript feel more robust, polished, and true to my vision. She not only strengthened the structure and flow of the work but also provided clear, thoughtful guidance on formatting and consistency, which will make the final book much stronger. Cynthia is professional, detail-oriented, and supportive throughout the process. She balanced encourage...

Ian is a meticulous editor, worth every penny you’d spend on editorial. Even though I hired Ian only to do copy edits, he put in the extra effort to proofread and also give some inputs on developmental level. Every comment he makes goes a long way in making my manuscript better. His impeccable work shows how much he cares for the manuscript and your story. His work not only improves my manuscript but also teaches me to be a better writer. My only regret is not involving Ian sooner in my work....

Lee was a pleasure to work with and did an incredible job on my book. This wasn’t a straightforward project… it’s a book-style journal with a lot of moving parts, interactive elements, and a very specific vision I wanted to bring to life. Somehow, he managed to pull it all together seamlessly. The formatting, layout, and illustrations are spot on, and he made the whole thing flow in a way that looks effortless. On top of that, the cover design nailed the vision I had in my head. I came into...

Louise was an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. She brought a sharp eye for detail, strong consistency across a complex fantasy–science fiction manuscript, and a clear respect for the author’s voice and world-building. She handled continuity, formatting questions, and stylistic consistency with care, and her communication was timely, thoughtful, and professional throughout the process. When she raised questions, they were always precise and helpful, and she never imposed cha...

Maria was quick and responsive, and her notes, not just on BISACs but general formatting of copy on promotional material, was great! I'll definitely be working with her on future installments of my series.

Lynne Walker is an exceptionally talented editor whose precision and insight elevated every page of my manuscript while preserving my voice. She completed an inline edit for me, and her comments were sharp, constructive, and always grounded in a deep understanding of tone and rhythm. Working with her was seamless. She’s professional, punctual, and consistently responsive. Every exchange reflected her care and commitment to excellence. Lynne brought not only skill but genuine respect f...

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...

Jessica gave detailed insight that will greatly enhance my book. Her insights were thoughtful and actionable, with great tips and great places to reach for inspiration. She was great to work with and I'm excited to see the improvements her advice will bring to my book once I include them in my rewrite.

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,...
