Working with Ana was absolutely amazing. She is extremely collaborative, brings a wonderful energy to her work, and provides a thoughtful perspective to the entire design. She did an incredible job interpreting my manuscript and creating new ways to showcase the content. She was very responsive and transparent, and provided a lot of project updates. Definitely recommend and can't wait to work with her again.

Jane was a valuable resource for the developmental and copy edit of my nonfiction manuscript. Her suggestions clarified and improved the impact of my message. She communicated well and completed all assignments on time. I highly recommend!

Working with Elisabeth was an absolute joy. Her communication was excellent and proactive from start to finish—I always felt supported and never left guessing about next steps. As a first-time author, I especially valued her thoughtful suggestions and helpful guidance, which made the entire process smooth and confidence-building. The bespoke design elements Elisabeth created were gorgeous—unique, personal, and perfectly reflective of both my taste and the overall aesthetic I envisioned for t...

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

Working with Raquel on the layout and design of my book, Unfinished Business, was an absolute pleasure! As a new author navigating the self-publishing process for the first time, I was looking for a designer who could offer both technical structure and high-level creativity. Raquel exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly organized and professional, making what could have been a daunting process feel seamless. My vision for the book included fun design elements and specific places for ...

Heather is truly a manuscript Goddess. She's been elevating novels for a long time and it shows in her work. Her natural insight for character development and story trajectory is on point. She provides a chapter by chapter analysis that you can use as a guide to your manuscript. It was extremely helpful to know exactly which chapters heighten the novel and what's missing/needed from other chapters. My manuscript will take a huge leap forward because of her talent and grace. Thank you to Reeds...

With Travis you're getting a true pro and - importantly - candor. His feedback is direct, honest, and fair and immensely helpful whether looking at minor copy edits, structural emphasis, or the big picture of storytelling. He's got a great eye for what can take the story to the next level and I'm confident that he significantly elevated not just my work but my understanding of the craft.

She was amazing and I recommend her to anyone

I have this story that I am sentimentally glued to and cannot let go of. It was reviewed, analyzed, changed formats, pacing, words, and then back again. And... was still not landing. So, in the "let's try this again" attempt, I reached out to Frances. Her approach was different. She went to the scaffolding, where she proposed the changes. It made sense. I sat with the story until I changed it based on Frances's suggestions. And now it flows. So I recognize in Frances a deeper kind of vision a...

Phil was great to work with, understood my vision right out of the gate, and brought the artwork to a form where my cover tells a story itself. Very polite, professional and willing to go in any direction I needed, with guidance from his experience in this industry, which was perfect for a first time self-publisher. This is the first in a trilogy and look forward to working with Phil on the other two!

Cindy copyedited the first book in my cozy mystery series, and I am hiring her for the rest of it. What sets her apart is her ability to distinguish between an error and a choice. Where my phrasing was simply wrong, she fixed it. Where it was voice, she asked — and she asked in a way that made clear she understood what the voice was doing. Every query came with the reasoning attached, so I could rule on it in a sentence instead of looking it up myself. And when she flagged something I could ...

Michelle did a fantastic job with my book in not only editing but teaching me a lot about citations and when and when not needed. She was very easy to communicate with and did a thorough job. I will definitely employ her again when I have the need for a sharp, and focused editor.

Outstanding service from start to finish. Matthew took my requirements and came back to me with an incredible amount of detailed analysis and reasoning behind his recommendations. I took them all and haven't looked back. His expertise is obvious from the very first message and his attention to detail and methodical approach elevated my desire for a new website into something far greater. He genuinely made a huge difference to helping me prepare for the launch of my book, not to mention me...

Anne took the rough draft of my first scholarly book manuscript and helped me ready it for submission. Because it is my first book and I am not an academic, I needed a lot of help with the references. Anne's knowledge and experience was invaluable. She helped me clarify technical points that required fine tuning and was exceptionally thorough with her editing. I accepted her proposed changes largely across the board because she had put much effort into trying to understand my novel posits an...

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Candace. Her artwork is beautiful, she was super-responsive, and she was innovative in creating the best path to the artwork I required. I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.
