Erin was the first professional editor I've worked with. Only started writing about 1 year ago, coming from a completely different long-term career, so had no experience and have had to crash course every angle of this whole writing thing. Erin met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional in every sense of the word, and I do work in another professional environment that isn't writing, so I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect when the word 'professional' is used. S...

Erin was tremendously helpful. Her very constructive criticism is serious, and because she offers feedback from the POV of both a professional editor/writer, and 12 year old reader (not all editors can do this well), the edit is invaluable. She enabled me to see what wasn’t working, why, and what to do about it. Will be returning to Erin for more help soon.

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 always, Natalia is a pleasure to work with! This is my second project with her and she did not disappoint. From the creative process to her understanding to what I was looking for was stellar. If you're looking for a designer who cares about your work and will know what you're looking for, you've found her! She is definitely my cover designer for the foreseeable future!

It was a pleasure to work with Deborah. As a first time author she was very patient with me and walked me through the process in a way that I understood. I am looking forward to working with again as I have already requested that we work together when I finish my next book. I promised her it won't be so many commas the next time.

Kat was fantastic, extremely professional and knowledgeable. Was able to provide structured feedback. Did what she said she was going to do. Qualty was great. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I look forward to our next project together

Sophie is amazing. She provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on all areas of my writing. She was extremely responsive and thorough in her review. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Working with Ellie has been an excellent experience. At the beginning, I thought I was simply hiring someone to build a website. As the project developed, I realized she was doing much more than that. She was helping transform my vision into reality. She took the time to understand what I was trying to build and brought professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care throughout the process. She helped shape the website and the digital presence surrounding my book, and I am extremely ...

Camille was such a delight to work with. From our very first interaction, I felt supported and understood. Camille’s feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and showed a genuine interest in both the material itself and my aspirations for the project. They struck a wonderful balance between encouragement and constructive critique, and I came away with clearer direction, stronger confidence in the project, and a much better sense of how to move forward. I would absolutely recommend Camille to any wr...

It was fantastic. High quality work, on time. Nothing to add, Alexandra is the best!

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

Working with Svitlana was one of the best decisions I made for my book launch. She didn't just design a beautiful cover — she built the entire visual identity of my brand. For my second book, Permission Granted: The Inner Work That Makes Everything Else Possible, Svitlana delivered: Front cover, back cover, and full wraparound layouts (paperback + hardcover) Kindle and ACX audiobook covers Complete A+ Content design for Amazon (all 5 modules — approved on first submission) 3D book mockups on...

Robert truly went above and beyond for my project. He fixed up my grammar and punctuation, but also gave tons of general feedback in terms of storyline, plot, my characters, etc, which he did not need to do, but I really, really appreciated it. He gave me insight to new perspectives not just from an editor, but from a reader, as well. If you choose him for your project, you will not regret it.
