Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

Grace is amazing. I feel like anything else I follow up with will lessen this fact. She is quick. She is dependable. She's encouraging but also critical (in a fair way) and is easy to get a hold of. I will definitely be knocking on her door when my next project is ready.

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

Jonathan Starke is an awesome find: very professional, experienced and encouraging the entire time. I feel like I'm in a giant learning curve and Jonathan was patient with me all the way through, even sharing in my humor over everything. His review and edits to my query letter were spot on, he condensed my draft while keeping my voice intact. This is a very talented, personable fellow who will not let you down, he will be my go-to contact as I continue my writing endeavors. This has been a st...

Simona’s artwork exceeded my expectations by a significant margin. I genuinely did not anticipate the cover turning out as polished, thoughtful, and visually striking as it did. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an impressive ability to interpret the essence of the book with minimal guidance. I only provided a brief description, yet she was able to immediately grasp the tone, themes, and overall feeling I was aiming for. What stood out most was how little direction she actually neede...

Svitlana is an extraordinary cover artist and designer. She understood the heart of my book from the very beginning and translated it into visuals that felt powerful, intentional, and deeply aligned with my story. Her communication was clear, her process was thoughtful, and her talent is undeniable. I felt supported, seen, and creatively understood every step of the way. I’m genuinely grateful for her work and would trust her with any future project.

Megan provided excellent developmental and copy editing for my 26,000-word memoir. Her key strength was identifying structural gaps in the narrative - she noted something felt "missing," which led me to add crucial backstory that significantly improved the story's emotional logic. She delivered on time, accommodated substantial revisions professionally, and preserved my voice while improving clarity. Clear communication throughout. I would not hesitate to work with Megan again.

Misha is a true professional and wonderful to work with. Her copyedits are extremely thorough, catching not only grammar and spelling errors but also inconsistencies, logical errors, and confusing prose. Her edits strengthened my work and inspired me to make adjustments and clarifications I otherwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend working with her and will do so again if I have the opportunity.

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

Auriane was outstanding!! She gave me great and timely feedback - both positive and constructive - and many new ideas to consider. I think my story is much stronger as a result of getting her edits. I definitely will work with her again on my next book.

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

Mine was a difficult project - review the sequel of an unpublished first novel. One other person described the project as 'the literary equivalent of surgical separation of Siamese twins'. That said, I was blown away by the quality of the output I got from Elayne. Her comments were accurate, insightful, helpgul and nuanced. I have worked with a number of editors, and while all have been good, this was a different level. It was extremely helpful to get the perspective of a multiply-published...

Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

Working with Rebecca Allen on my manuscript, The Case of Lord Simon, was an absolute game-changer. This was my first novel and my first time working with an editor, and Rebecca made the entire process feel both professional and approachable—from her clear communication to her thoughtful, meticulous edit. Her copy edit was thorough without being heavy-handed. She strengthened clarity, consistency, and flow while preserving my voice and the historical tone of the book. Her comments were specif...
