It is such a pleasure to write a review for Jennifer Stimson—because oh my goodness, she is EXCEPTIONAL! I was initially drawn to Jennifer because of her excellent reviews. Then, when I saw samples of her work and started to communicate with her, I knew I was in great hands! First and foremost, I’m impressed with her talent – her artistic choices; the stylistic elements she added to my pages; her page layouts and font choices that fit the theme of my book; the polish she added to the formatt...

Working with Siski on my third children’s book was another wonderful experience. Her hand-drawn watercolor illustrations are full of warmth and charm, and she has a special talent for bringing dogs to life with personality and heart. Siski is not only incredibly talented but also thoughtful, organized, and a joy to collaborate with. I would gladly work with her again and highly recommend her to other authors.

Christie's feedback was concise, clear, and invaluable. I'm working on a rhyming book, and I couldn't have completed this to a high standard without her advice on metre and rhythm. She also advised on vocabulary, and while she made some suggestions for rewording, she helped me keep my own voice and style throughout. I can't thank Christie enough and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

Working with Olga was a great experience from start to finish. She showed a high level of professionalism throughout the project. She understood the concept of the book very quickly and stayed aligned with it at every stage. This made the collaboration smooth and focused. Her attention to detail stood out. She challenged elements when needed, refined ideas with precision, and ensured the final output stayed consistent with the original vision. She was also very reliable and easy to work with...

Flavia is an excellent cover illustrator. Not only was her work beautiful, she was also professional and caring throughout the entire design process. I am so grateful to her for designing such a beautiful cover for my book, and I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to work with her again, especially since she gave such a fair price. A big thank you!

Working with Daniel was a pleasure. His design was beautiful and captured exactly what I was hoping for. Whenever I asked for an edit to be made, he was responsive and happy to do it. When I had questions and needed clarification because this was my first book, he was there with both reassurance and confidence. He went above and beyond at the end of the project when I was very anxious about getting the book to print and made himself super available for last minute adjustments. I worked with b...

I had a great experience working with Daniel on The One-Star Guest. From the beginning, he understood exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the book and, just as importantly, understood my voice and sense of humor. His feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely improved the manuscript without trying to turn it into something it wasn’t. He pointed out areas that needed work, offered smart suggestions, and gave me the freedom to decide what ultimately belonged in the book. I used ...

Such a positive experience working with Jonathan - highly recommend. Very easy to chat with and he had such thoughtful insights and suggestions. Would definitely work with again - thanks so much!

This is my fourth time working with Jen and I've already booked her for my next project. Jen is a dream to work with. She provides, open, honest feedback in a timely manner, all while making you feel empowered. I love writing and I love it even more with an editor like Jen.

Josiah was my first hire for my first book, and though I was skeptical about hiring an editor at first, he has shown me that the price is well worth it. From the moment he gave me an example of his work, I knew this was the correct choice, and after receiving the final draft and his input on how to improve, I can honestly say that I hope to hire him again in the future.

Mike did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. I had written a children's book for my son's first birthday and Mike truly captured everything I wanted in each illustration. He was very open to talking through illustrations and taking the time to understand exactly what I envisioned. I would 100% recommend Mike if you are looking for an illustrator.

Working with Travis was an outstanding experience and ultimately changed the direction of my book for the better. I originally approached The Big Comeback as narrative nonfiction, and Travis helped me recognize that the story had the potential to become something much stronger as a fictional novel based on true events. What impressed me most was that he didn't simply tell me to make the change—he helped me understand how and why to make it. He showed me how fiction could give me greater free...

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.
