Emily was awesome to work with. My manuscript came with very strict, non-negotiable guidelines—proofreading only, no editing—and she followed them perfectly. She delivered exactly what was asked for, ahead of schedule, with great attention to detail. She also flagged a few areas where clarity could be improved and asked for approval before making any changes. I plan to work with her again on my next manuscript without question.

We are first-time authors and have never worked with an illustrator before, so we honestly weren't sure what to expect or even what we were supposed to do throughout the process. From the very beginning, Kateryna was incredibly patient, professional and understanding. She took the time to answer all of our questions and worked with us until the test illustration was what we hoped for. Everything was completed in a very timely manner and we are excited to continue working with her on our fi...

Anna was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She transformed my vision into a polished, professional book that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the project was creative, patient, highly responsive, and always willing to incorporate feedback and refine details. She created a beautiful cover and interior layout and consistently delivered high-quality work on time. I would gladly work with Anna again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a talented, collaborative bo...

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

Working with Cynthia has been one of the most rewarding parts of my writing journey. She brought clarity, precision, and genuine insight to every stage of the edit. Her developmental feedback strengthened the structure and emotional core of my story, and her line edits elevated the prose in ways I could feel immediately. She has an incredible gift for seeing both the big-picture narrative and the fine-grained details that make a scene sing. What impressed me most was her ability to understan...

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...

Ty is incredible at identifying weak points in your manuscript and pinpointing what needs to be reworked. He is very responsive and friendly. The editorial letter for a developmental edit was 13 pages of insight and broken into next steps, which was helpful and reduced the feeling of being overwhelmed with information. The video call was immensely positive for clarifying points and troubleshooting possible changes, and the follow-up summary was priceless.

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

Working with Sarah-Beth was one of the best decisions I made in this publishing process. I came to her with a memoir that was deeply personal — years of life compressed into pages — and she handled it with care and professionalism from start to finish. What stood out most was her responsiveness. Every question I had, every file exchange, every revision — she turned things around quickly and kept the collaboration moving without me having to chase her down. That matters when you're self-publi...

Laura's editorial report was thoughtful, incredibly detailed and constructive. It was clear that she had taken the time to really understand what I was trying to achieve with the novel. I appreciated her ability to identify areas that could potentially cause problems when submitting to agents or publishers, including things I hadn't necessarily recognised myself. Her comments on characterisation in particular gave me a new perspective on my opening chapters and have helped me see how I can s...

Claire was a delight to work with. She was knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough. It was easy to gain confidence in her work very quickly because of her timely communication and the samples she sent early on. This was an investment for me, as a first time author and one-woman business, and it was well worth the money. My book is a much better product because of Claire's help. She also explained things to me and answered all of my questions. She saved me time by reorganizing my chapters after I ...

Fantastic translation of my book. Professional. Quick-working. Easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs Spanish translation work done.

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )
