Giorgia is amazing and was such a pleasure to work with on my debut poetry book. I didn’t know what to expect working with a designer, but my expectations were far exceeded. Giorgia presented her ideas timely and professionally with great communication, and took my ideas and feedback into consideration for the project. I loved that Giorgia provided me with a timeline at the start of our collaboration of what to expect each week of the project, and we meet and discussed the project via zoom. M...

Flawless work. Exceptional understanding. Grasped the message of my work and said it better than I could. Nothing but praise. This one is a keeper.

Working with Rannia was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brought both creative sensitivity and technical precision to the design of Unchosen, translating a concept-driven manuscript into a cohesive visual identity across cover and interior. Her communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. She handled revisions thoughtfully, incorporated feedback carefully, and navigated the technical complexities of KDP formatting with confidence and expertise....

Working with John was a fantastic experience. He brought a sharp editorial eye, offered thoughtful suggestions without changing my voice, and truly helped elevate my manuscript. His attention to detail, professionalism, and understanding of story structure made this a smooth and rewarding collaboration. Highly recommend.

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.

Hy is a genius at transforming large amounts of complex information into a book form that anyone can understand and enjoy. He's also probably the best book proposal writer for hire in the country. I'm delighted to have found Hy, and I look forward to working with him on multiple projects.

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

Where can I start, Eleanor is great and she really knows her stuff. She's friendly professional and full of helpful ideas. Our sessions were on zoom but she also provides workbooks and other materials ahead of each meeting, so that you can work through them at your own pace. I learned a huge amount that I will be able to take with me into my next project. Marketing is a maze and Eleanor gives you the skills to navigate around it. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone

My experience with RuthAnne was productive and enjoyable. She was prompt, professional, and personable with her assessment. Her evaluation of my manuscript was detailed and provided both positive feedback as well as areas for improvement with examples. She was more than happy to discuss any of her comments and answer questions. I appreciate her time and professionalism. I would definitely recommend her to other authors.

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.

Working with Diletta has been an absolute dream. From the very beginning, her enthusiasm for creating was infectious. You can feel how much she genuinely cares about every project she takes on. Communication was consistent and easy, and she always made sure my ideas were understood and thoughtfully executed. What stood out most to me was her passion and attention to detail. She approaches her work with both artistry and professionalism, and it shows in the quality of the final design. You ca...

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

Edward was a lovely person to work with! I felt that he was truly interested in my writing, and his helpful feedback, as well as passion for stories in general, really elevated my story. If anyone is looking for a dedicated and personable editor to work with, I'd highly recommend him!

Ashley was fantastic to work with for my developmental edit! He was extremely helpful and professional, was prompt with returning messages and with completing his work. He provided great advice, clarification and outside-the-box ideas to help make my manuscript MUCH tighter and cleaner in the end. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...
