T.S. is outstanding to work with. Not only did he give me excellent advice, but I feel that he cares about my project and is cheering me on. After working with T.S., I am so proud of the query letter, synopsis, and other materials I have developed, and I feel prepared and confident in approaching literary agents.

From the outset, Lindsay showed interest in a project that fell within a realm unfamiliar to her previous projects. With that being said, she did a fantastic job jumping in, asking the right questions, and keeping my voice in the edits she wrote, while still providing thorough constructive criticism on key points in the book. Thank you, Lindsay!

As always working together with Josh has been a true pleasure. In addition to the absolutely breath-taking cover he designed for my book he made me a beautiful sprayed edges design. I can' recommend Josh enough. If you want a cover designer who makes covers that stand out while still nailing genre conventions and who is professional, friendly, there for every question he is your man! I would definitely work on all my cover with him in the future!

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Kristen. Not only has she championed my novel as if it were her own, she’s also gone above and beyond to ensure it’s in the best possible shape for publication. Her feedback has been super helpful, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again in the future :) I’d definitely recommend her to any author looking for someone who approaches their book with passion, care and professionalism.

So impressed with the whole experience working with Matthew. He was really outstanding throughout the process, went way above and beyond on everything from explaining every feature or use of the site to setting up or connecting to other related sites or services, and his extra work on the design. His communication was so clear and thorough, truly felt his care about the project. And the end result was tremendous and really fit my book and its world. Definitely looking forward to working with...

Megan was an absolute joy to work with! My project was a complicated one with lots of quotes, images, and even recipes. It needed to have the look of a vintage book, which she accomplished with embellished letters for the beginning of each chapter as well as antiquing for the page backgrounds. She was professional in every way, patient with corrections, and punctual with my deadline. I have another book in preparation and I look forward to working with her again. Great job all the way around!

Working with Rebecca was an absolute game-changer for me and I am so grateful for the time she spent tightening up my manuscript. I'd been stuck for a while and needed a professional set of eyes to make sure I was headed in the right direction. She was clear, positive, and incredibly insightful. She helped me identify plot holes, strengthen character arcs, and tighten emotional threads that made the story so much stronger. She told me exactly what was (and wasn't) working while still being in...

Working with Alex was phenomenal. He responded to my brief with an idea for the design that aligned perfectly with what I had in mind. He communicated clearly and encouraged feedback. Alex was very open to the adjustments I wanted. He was timely and even finished before schedule. In the end, he created a cover for my book that was better than I could've imagined or hoped.

Mary Ann is such a pleasure to work with. She's highly professional, always on time, and does such beautiful work. I'm so happy with all of the book covers that she's created for me, and I'll definitely be using her services again to complete my series. Thank you so much, Mary Ann! 😊

Outstanding editor with a meticulous eye. She listened to my concerns (protecting my voice and tone). Emily was not afraid to voice her thoughts and suggestions, almost all of her suggestions were used during the edit. We lucked out when we chose Emily to edit the book and look forward to working with her again for all of the remaining edits and if there are any future books.

Working with Jeremy on The DAF Revolution: Making a Difference in Our Modern World was an excellent experience. He brought professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise that ensured the book was produced to the highest standard. Jeremy was responsive throughout the process, offered thoughtful guidance, and elevated the final product. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any author and fully intend to hire Jeremy again for future projects without hesitation.

I really enjoyed working with James. He was incredibly responsive and guided me through each step, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out, especially as this was my first book! He really helped bring my vision to life and I would definitely work with him again.

Working with Izabela was one of the most rewarding creative collaborations I have ever experienced. When I first began this project, I had a manuscript and a vision for how I wanted the book to feel, but I quickly realized that creating a book is about much more than simply placing words on a page. It is about creating an experience for the reader. Izabela understood that from the very beginning. What impressed me most was that she never approached the project as someone simply executing in...

Jim just completed an editorial assessment of my first draft of my first book. He completed this ahead of schedule, and his feedback was positive, constructive, and invaluable. With our follow-up call, I now have a plan to take the manuscript to the next level, with his continued support. I look forward to further collaboration with Jim, and ultimately the successful completion of this book.
