Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

I can't say enough good things about Helen. She was an absolute dream to work with and provided a thorough, insightful review of my manuscript, along with practical suggestions that genuinely improved the story. Helen understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and her feedback strengthened the manuscript while still preserving my voice. Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...

David is an incredibly talented and imaginative illustrator with a rare gift for bringing ideas to life. He took a concept that felt very difficult to visualize and transformed it into something truly special, far beyond what I had imagined. He immediately understood my vision and created illustrations full of energy, charm, and personality that elevated the entire story. His creativity helped turn the manuscript into a beautiful, engaging short chapter book. On top of his talent, David was ...

I hired Paul to copyedit a 76,000-word literary memoir. He returned about 7,000 tracked changes and a separate document of fifteen substantive queries, and the second document is what earned this review. The process alone is worth knowing about. He locks the file for version control so the author never has to accept or reject anything — he handles that on his end, which saved me days of tedium. He pulls the judgment calls out of the redlining into their own list, quoting each passage above t...

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.

Abbie was such a pleasure to work with: thorough, communicative, prompt, and so kind. Her feedback was incredibly clear with some really astute observations and recommendations that absolutely have improved the quality of my manuscript. Her kind works and clear passion for the work definitely gave me a boost in confidence and made me excited to get stuck back into making the necessary tweaks. Her experience in the industry was incredibly valuable also, giving me fantastic advice that I had no...

Sofie is absolutely incredible! For someone who just wrote an entire book, I know it’s hard to believe that I’m struggling to find the words to describe her talent, but I am. She took a very clunky vision I had and turned it into a cover and design package that was better than anything I could have imagined. I’ve had countless people comment on the cover, and that is all thanks to Sofie. She has an incredible ability to understand not just what will look beautiful, but what will communicate t...

Working with Jenny was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. She brought a rare combination of precision and warmth to my memoir — the kind of editor who clearly loves both language and the people behind it. She was meticulous without being heavy-handed, catching the kinds of details that are easy to overlook when you've been living inside your own story for years. Tense consistency was a particular area where she pushed me — gently but persistently — and honestly, I was a littl...

I cannot express how much of a pleasure it was to work with Luca! He is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. He completed the project ahead of schedule, communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process, and made the experience smooth from beginning to end. The cover design and interior layout exceeded my expectations. The finished manuscript looks absolutely amazing—better than I had originally envisioned. As someone new to publishing, I esp...

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

Working with Melissa B. was an absolute joy. She helped me with both the developmental edit and copy edit of my story, and the difference in the final result is incredible. My story is so much stronger, clearer, and more polished because of her thoughtful guidance and careful attention to detail. Melissa is quick, efficient, and so much fun to work with. She made the editing process feel encouraging and collaborative, and I always felt like my story was in excellent hands. I would recommend ...

Wendy's assessment of my novel was insightful and professional, providing critical and constructive feedback that allowed me to better examine not only the work itself but opportunities to build further storied from the material. Her notes were incredibly thorough, covering all aspects of the manuscript from character development to even the smallest inconsistencies in continuity, which she meticulously detailed right down to page numbers. Honest and encouraging, I highly recommend Wendy Lee ...

Erin delivered beyond what I expected out of our engagement on so many levels. Firstly, she instantly recognized what I was trying to achieve with a very complex story structure. Then, she offered me a call to really understand my goals with my project, and later guided me on the kind of engagement needed to achieve my goals. When she delivered the outcome of our engagement, it was clear that she'd really immersed herself into the work, arming herself by (re)reading the works of masters whose...

Amber is phenomenal at what she does! Her communication was timely and thorough from beginning to end. I went with her because of how much value/personalized feedback she offered to me on my chapter sample before we even began working together. She clearly got the heart and soul of my book. We got to have two calls together, and I can't imagine my book getting to the level of quality its now at without her development editing report and extensive feedback. I will work with her again in a hear...
