Zoe is a consummate professional. She has illustrated numerous books for me, and I can confidently say that Zoe has made my books better in ways that I never could have anticipated. I've learned through this process to simply let Zoe do Zoe. She gives each project a lot of thought and knows how to create a winning illustration to capture each moment. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strong design judgment, and clear communication throughout the entire process. Deliverables were completed on time, exceeded expectations, and were thoughtfully executed across both cover and interior files. Her responsiveness and professionalism made the collaboration smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Megan to any author looking for high-quality, reliable design ...

Working with Ms. Dosier was not just about fixing grammar or typos — it was a turning point in how I think as a writer. She made me see my own work from a reader’s perspective, and that changed everything. One of the things I’ll always be grateful for is how she truly saw my characters. To me, that meant she didn’t just read my book because she was paid to — she connected with it. On some level, whether I know it or not, she could have enjoyed my story, and that means more than I can put in...

Shawna is amazing! As a first-time writer, I was really nervous about the process and wasn't sure how everything would play out, but Shawna made sure that I felt comfortable the entire time and helped me set clear goals for myself that were realistic for me within my framework. She listened to me and really helped enhance my creative process in a way that wasn't punitive in nature. 100/10 I look forward to working with her again!

Working with Allison was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. From the beginning, she treated my manuscript with genuine care and respect. She didn't try to change my voice, she helped refine it. Her edits strengthened the writing while preserving the heart of the story, which was incredibly important for a memoir as personal as Brunch. Sobriety. Tea & Plants. Communication was prompt, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. She offered thoughtful su...

Exceptional design partner, world-class execution Sebastian Cudicio was an outstanding design partner throughout the full production journey of my book, Beyond Blame: A Human and Organizational Performance Approach to Incident Investigation, Learning, and Leadership. From the start, he demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and strong creative judgment, while remaining highly responsive to feedback and committed to achieving a premium final result. What stood out most: 1) Strong design thin...

What a wonderful experience. Jenna was really helpful in getting my query letter and elements of my Synopsis ready for prime time. I will work with her on any project in the future.

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

Dakota brings an editor’s precision and a poet’s ear to every line. What sets her apart is her relentless focus on line craft—enjambments, indentations, and rhythm aren’t just technical matters for her; they’re the pulse of the poem. She has a gift for spotting where a break loses torque, where a stanza can carry more weight, or where a single word could unlock the music of the whole piece. Her feedback is uncompromising in the best way: every line must stand alone as art, every stanza must ...

Working with Sarah was one of the most important decisions I made in bringing this book to life. She read my manuscript with honesty, precision, and genuine care — not just as an editor but as someone who understood what I was trying to say and helped me say it better. Her notes were direct, specific, and always in service of the story. She never tried to change my voice. She just helped me find where it was strongest and pushed me toward that. If you are serious about your book and want some...

I cannot express how fantastic, Samantha is! From the very beginning, I knew she was the right person from the job when she said she wanted to read my manuscript. Out of all of the cover designers I had talked to she was the ONLY one who offered to read the book for inspiration. All of our meetings were timely and she provided an abundant of information and resources to guide me through the process. Even when I messed up on my end she was very patient and made the necessary fixes. I cannot w...

Incredibly detailed, thorough and thoughtful. She has transformed my book and I am eternally grateful. The level of attention to every word is magnificent. I highly recommend Elisabeth for copy editing and developmental editing. Excellent communication and care at every level. Smart, perceptive and professional. Thank you Elisabeth!

Dominic was a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, he went above and beyond to ensure that our timeline was met and I would happily recommend him.

Lauren was excellent to work with throughout this project. She was highly responsive, thorough, and consistently delivered work of a very high standard. As well as providing a detailed proofread, she often went beyond what was asked by spotting issues, making thoughtful suggestions, and helping improve the overall quality of the manuscript. Communication was clear and professional throughout, deadlines were met, and I always felt the project was in safe hands. I would happily work with Lau...
