Working with Lia was such an incredible experience. My memoir manuscript has evolved from jumbled, stream-of-consciousness storytelling to more streamlined, vivid, and concise. Given that I'm a first-time author, I wanted to work with someone who would give honest feedback while also highlighting what I'd done well already. Lia went above and beyond to provide insight on how I could make my writing better and left positive commentary throughout, too. She always responded quickly to inquiries,...

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

Peter was exceptionally timely, artful in execution, and continually communicative. He treats your project with the care and intuition it deserves. Simply put, if you want high-caliber work crafted with excellence, you should hire Peter.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Charlie on the cover for my fantasy book. Not only is he a skilled professional, he's also a warm, friendly person to work with. As part of his process, he first read the full manuscript, allowing him to gain a thorough understanding of the characters, story, and world. As such, he was able to execute a masterful design that portrayed everything I had dreamed of and more. The result, ironically, put me at a loss of words. Furthermore, in the final phas...

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

Emily was a complete joy to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally organized throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made what could have been a complex formatting project feel seamless from start to finish. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that the book was in capable hands. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and reliable formatter.

Beau's feedback was exactly what I needed to polish my novel. I was mainly looking for help sharpening some of my themes, as well as validation for the way I handled a diverse cast. Beau understood exactly what was needed and provided comments that made the story better, with enough explanation to be clear without going overboard. They also have a great ear for dialogue and pointed out places that were a bit awkward or clunky. All while being a great cheerleader throughout. I 100% recommend...

Izabela Ciesinska is a true artist in every sense of the word. Her illustrations for Claire and the Chatty Daisy are not just beautiful; they are a masterclass in visual storytelling. As someone who has spent a lifetime in this industry, I can tell you that finding an illustrator who understands the heart of a manuscript so completely is a rare gift. From the very first page, Izabela's vibrant, hand-drawn style brings Claire's world to life in a way that is both warm and inviting. Her use of...

Agatha’s dev edit on Unbidden is the kind of work that makes you feel both seen as a writer and capable as a craftsperson. She read my manuscript like a reader and then diagnosed it like an editor, with total command of narrative mechanics (pacing, viewpoint discipline, structure), plus a sharp instinct for what my story is really about: the terrifying intimacy of being “used” by something bigger than you. Her notes are deeply specific, actionable, and cross-referenced in a way that makes rev...

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

Mike was great to work with. He was able to take my kernel of an idea and create many different versions of book covers to choose from. He was always willing to bounce ideas and provided some interesting contrasts that I hadn't thought of, but loved. I am already receiving positive comments about his work. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Once again, her structural edit was outstanding. I’ve worked with Rachel multiple times now, and that continuity makes such a difference—she knows my voice, my style, and the heart of my stories, and she edits in a way that enhances my voice rather than reshaping it. Her feedback is meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply insightful. Every suggestion strengthens the narrative, sharpens the emotional arc, and helps the story truly sing. Rachel has an incred...

I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

Working with Donna on *The Sands of Time* was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. From the beginning, she was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly insightful. Her feedback was detailed, encouraging, and always respectful of my voice as an author. Donna has a remarkable ability to strengthen a story without changing what makes it unique. She challenged me to dig deeper, improve my writing, and make the manuscript the strongest it could be, all while making the editing pr...
