Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He approached my manuscript with balance of technical precision and genuine care for the story being told. What stood out most was his ability to engage deeply with the intent of the work, not just the mechanics. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and respectful. Michael’s communication was clear, encouraging and professional throughout the process. He didn’t just edit the book, he collaborated with it. As...

Shawna is amazing! As a first-time writer, I was really nervous about the process and wasn't sure how everything would play out, but Shawna made sure that I felt comfortable the entire time and helped me set clear goals for myself that were realistic for me within my framework. She listened to me and really helped enhance my creative process in a way that wasn't punitive in nature. 100/10 I look forward to working with her again!

Allison proofread my debut novel — a prose-poetry manuscript with unconventional formatting, intentional line breaks, and rhythm that mattered as much as grammar. That's a hard brief for any proofreader: correct the real errors without flattening the style. She got the distinction immediately. Her markup was meticulous (165 items, every one clearly anchored and explained), she separated mechanical fixes from judgment calls so I stayed in control of the voice, and she flagged patterns rather t...

Ellie designed and built the author site for my debut book, The Choice Is Yours, and then carried the work well past the design into launch marketing and handover. That range is rare, and it is the reason I would hire her again. What stood out first was how quickly she found the voice of the project. The site reads like me, not like a template with my name on it. When I told her every visual on the site had to be original, she did not argue the point or look for a workaround. She replaced wh...

I hired Bonnie for both copy editing and interior book design for my nonfiction book, Stop Stealing From Yourself, and I'm glad I found someone who does both well. Bonnie was timely, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. She answered my questions clearly and never made me feel like I was asking too much. What stood out most was her willingness to accommodate small changes even toward the end of our contract — that kind of flexibility matters when you're finalizing ...

Victoria was not only wonderful to deal with, friendly and accommodating, she also provided me with a thorough and detailed edit that has helped me produce a polished manuscript. Her communication was excellent and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

This is the third time I’ve worked with Kim and she’s brilliant – great and fast communication, excellent expert advice and the eyes of an eagle. It shows that she loves what she does. Can’t recommend her enough. Thanks again, Kim!

I am delighted to share my experience working Eleanor as editor, whose professionalism, insight, and dedication made an extraordinary difference in bringing my manuscript to publication readiness. From the outset, their communication was clear, timely, and highly organized. Deadlines were consistently met, and I always felt confident that my work was in capable and committed hands. Their responsiveness and willingness to engage in thoughtful discussion ensured that every stage of the process ...

Sharon was an absolute delight to work with. She kept me updated as she worked through my manuscript and was available for amendment feedback as well. Her comments were constructive and thoughtfully worded – something I really appreciated as a first-time author. As well as grammar, punctuation and word usage, she helped tighten up and improve the flow of my prose, and also pointed out where things got a little vague. I feel so much more confident in my writing thanks to her insight and I will...

Beth handled the copyediting and proofreading of my book, The Chemically Castrated Generation — a dense, science-heavy medical title with a large number of embedded data infographics. From our first exchange through the final pass, she was professional, responsive, and consistently on time. Communication was easy and reliable, which matters enormously when you're working against a publication deadline. What set Beth apart was her genuine engagement with the material. This is a technical medi...

Her effort stands out for its compassion and care in handling difficult material. She approached the subject with a genuine sense of empathy, taking the time to understand the emotional weight of the story and the people behind it. Her ability to grapple with the way the book connects with the audience was extremely valuable, nothing feels forced or exploitative, and the harder moments are treated with honesty and respect. Her ability to relate to complex, military jargonesse, and emotion...

Devon went above and beyond on the editing project for my historical fiction book. I really appreciated her superb attention to detail and consistency, as well as her professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process. She even completed the work a full week ahead of schedule. Highly recommended!

Working with Sarah on my YA novel was such a positive experience. Right from the start she was highly responsive and engaged in my story premise. This was my first experience with a professional editor and Sarah answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Most importantly, the developmental edits Sarah returned were invaluable! Sarah's edits were detailed, thorough and delivered so thoughtfully. Her attention to detail really stood out to me, as did her ability to deliver feedback in a c...
