Working with Allison was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. From the beginning, she treated my manuscript with genuine care and respect. She didn't try to change my voice, she helped refine it. Her edits strengthened the writing while preserving the heart of the story, which was incredibly important for a memoir as personal as Brunch. Sobriety. Tea & Plants. Communication was prompt, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. She offered thoughtful su...

Working with Zennor has been one of the most important parts of my memoir journey so far. I came to her with a very personal manuscript containing themes of adoption, grief, addiction, motherhood, and belonging, and she held both me and the work with exceptional care. Her feedback was insightful, encouraging, and incredibly perceptive. She helped me see where the story needed to slow down, where important moments deserved more space, and where the deeper threads of the book were waiting to b...

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...

Daniel was collaborative, professional and communicated wonderfully during the entire process. His illustration work went well above my expectations as I wasn't sure what to expect being this was my first time. I highly recommend his work and was beautiful to see how your characters come to life. I would work with Daniel again, no questions asked. I will definitely be back.

With Jennifer, I was given insights from a professional point of view and from a reader's point of view, which allows me to understand, from a 360-degree view, what the book feels like for those who discover it. On the editing side, Jennifer was thorough and improved the flow of the text, in perfect compliance to English rules. An explanatory comment, which made it easy to choose to keep it or not always met any significant change. Reading Blue Butterfly after her work felt harmonious, an...

I loved working with Penelope; she was kind and easy to work with. She respected my writing style while making my manuscript as polished as it could be. She had insightful suggestions that many other readers had not picked up. Grateful to have worked with her and would definitely work with her again!

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...

Oksana gave wonderfully detailed notes and constructive feedback, treating my story with personalized attention, sensitivity, and care. She is warm and collaborative, with strong storytelling instincts and years of professional experience that inform her brilliant work. She delivered her notes promptly and was very communicative and understanding throughout our collaboration. I would highly recommend working with Oksana and hope to have the privilege to do so again soon!

Working with Adrienne was an absolutely transformative experience for my manuscript. She was amazing and far more than just helpful; she possesses a unique talent for seeing the bigger picture of a story. When I came to her, my plot was a collection of disconnected ideas and scenes. Adrienne skillfully helped me weave those threads together into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Her insights into structuring the story were invaluable. She identified where the pacing lagged, suggested turn...

Jamie provided me with valuable feedback on my first draft, I hired her again to review my second draft. With Jamie’s guidance my memoir has more depth to it than I had originally planned for. She identified my blind spots which took my writing in another direction, in a good way.

Zoe is a consummate professional. She has illustrated numerous books for me, and I can confidently say that Zoe has made my books better in ways that I never could have anticipated. I've learned through this process to simply let Zoe do Zoe. She gives each project a lot of thought and knows how to create a winning illustration to capture each moment. Highly recommend!

Reece-Alexander Norris-Paterson or The Commander of the Northern Armies, as I call him, is a man of many names and phenomenal talent. He designed the cover of my debut novel and the result was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I don’t know what kind of magic he used, but bless him, for he reached into my mind, took out my dream cover and brought it to life, while also somehow making it a million times better. The commander completed the project on time and was willing to revise...

Louise is pure gold. She found things I never would have seen—backwards apostrophes, others that lost their curl (how does that even happen?), missing commas, even a graphic or two. When you've read your own book so many times your eyes are starting to cross, and you're weighing whether you even need a proofreader—because surely, it must be perfect by now—call Louise. She really is the last set of eyes needed in the publishing process.

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on my...

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.
