Working with Kelly was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I had already run my manuscript through multiple editing programs and thought it was in pretty good shape, but Kelly still found countless errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement that I had completely missed. The book read and flowed so much better after her improvements. What impressed me most was how meticulous and thorough she was throughout the entire process. Not only did she carefully edit the manu...

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

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!

Working with Andy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first Zoom call, he took the time to truly understand the scope of my project while patiently answering all of my questions. His communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. It was always prompt, clear, and professional. I never felt unsure about where things stood, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Andy is not only highly skilled at what he does, but he also brings a level ...

Working with Sarah has been an absolute pleasure. She is an exceptionally skilled and thoughtful editor who combines professionalism with genuine care for the author’s work. Her edits on “Stigma in Dementia Care” were precise, insightful, and respectful of my voice and academic intent. She provided clear guidance on structure, tone, and flow while helping me tighten the text and meet journal requirements without losing depth or meaning. Sarah’s communication was always prompt, warm, and enco...

Auriane was outstanding!! She gave me great and timely feedback - both positive and constructive - and many new ideas to consider. I think my story is much stronger as a result of getting her edits. I definitely will work with her again on my next book.

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...

Taylor is a gem! She gave thoughtful and very well-detailed feedback. You can tell she is good at what she does. And she always replied to messages in a timely manner. I would definitely hire her again if I write another book!

Lucy was an absolute delight to work with for a developmental edit of my novel! She was a true professional in every aspect of the project - from communication, edits, to quality of work delivered. I was nervous about my first time working with an editor but it could not have been easier. Lucy clearly communicated what was to be expected and when. The notes she provided through her edit were thoughtful, insightful, and presented in a way that prevented me from getting overwhelmed. Her feedbac...

Giorgia is amazing and was such a pleasure to work with on my debut poetry book. I didn’t know what to expect working with a designer, but my expectations were far exceeded. Giorgia presented her ideas timely and professionally with great communication, and took my ideas and feedback into consideration for the project. I loved that Giorgia provided me with a timeline at the start of our collaboration of what to expect each week of the project, and we meet and discussed the project via zoom. M...

Joel is an excellent artist and consummate professional. His quote clearly outlined exactly what he would provide for the agreed upon price and he fully delivered. Even after the fact, Joel continues to provide support and is going to help with with the cover uploads to KDP and IngramSpark. I will be working with Joel again in the future. If you are looking for a cover artist, I highly recommend him!

I give Nina Roy the highest marks possible in all areas. She's simply amazing and I cannot say enough great things about her. Her work far exceeded my expectations- she praises what is good and takes the time and care to discuss what doesn't. Her suggestions about how to fix problem areas are of great help to me. Nina is so thorough and all her communqués just bubble with dedication to be of service too her client. I think she's a fabulous asset to my book and well worth the money that was re...

Working with Hannah has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, thorough, and deeply invested in both the story and my growth as a writer. Her editorial letter was incredibly insightful and pushed me in all the right ways. She has a rare ability to see the heart of a story, identify what’s already working, and then clearly articulate how to strengthen it without ever making you feel discouraged or overwhelmed. Her line edits were de...

This was my first novel, and I wanted an editor who could handle copy editing, line editing, and proofreading with efficiency, professionalism, and a sharp eye—someone who wouldn’t hesitate to mark up my manuscript. I found exactly that in Jenny. She was always available, clear in her communication, and incredibly generous with her knowledge. Throughout the process, she explained not only her editing choices but also broader writing principles, so I came away a better writer with every rou...
