Eva was wonderful to collaborate with. The finished cover is absolutely brilliant and when I’ve put out the mock ups on a social media ad I’ve had overwhelming positive response with people saying ‘awesome cover’ ‘beautiful cover’

The work I requested was completed satisfacotorily and done sooner than the assigned due date. I feel like I got my money's worth!

David was an excellent editor. He was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive. I could not have asked for a better editor. David took extra time to explain the suggested changes. Everything along the way was helpful. I am very thankful that I found him. His work was exceptional.

I have LOVED working with Cat. As a complete newbie to the book publishing world, she has patiently guided me through the marketing process and came up with a fantastic marketing plan at a very good price. Her experience in the industry clearly shows in her work. I would highly recommend Cat to anyone looking for a book marketing pro.

Really enjoyed working with Scott! About a month after we worked together on my query letter, I signed with a literary agent - can't give a better rec than that!

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

I cannot express how much of a pleasure it was to work with Luca! He is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. He completed the project ahead of schedule, communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire process, and made the experience smooth from beginning to end. The cover design and interior layout exceeded my expectations. The finished manuscript looks absolutely amazing—better than I had originally envisioned. As someone new to publishing, I esp...

Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

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...

Much can be said about Rachel and her professionalism, collaborations, and insights. But two simple words best describe her: she cares. Cares about her craft, her writers and authors, and the people around her. That's it. Plain and simple. She simply cares. You can feel it in everything she does and says, from her tweaks and edits, to her conversational mentorship, encouragements, and kindnesses. Yes, she simply and genuinely just cares. Period end.

Angela did a phenomenal job editing my novel. Her notes were sharp, thoughtful, and consistently elevated the manuscript in ways that felt both intuitive and expertly guided. She has an exceptional grasp of voice, pacing, and clarity, and her suggestions around narrative consistency were exactly what the book needed. Her line edits were precise, her developmental comments insightful, and the whole experience showed me why she’s so highly regarded. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she bro...

Hannah was great!! She knows story and loves talking story. She went above and beyond to make sure my script was solid.

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...

My experience with Matt exceeded every expectation I had! He didn’t just help improve my graphic novel; he taught me how to think like a graphic novelist. From scripting and layout to visualization and industry terminology, he generously shared his knowledge and caught issues I didn’t even know existed. The transformation from my original draft to where the project is now is honestly mind-blowing. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and empowering. If you’re serious about learning and levelin...

I have really enjoyed working with Laura. The feedback I received was extremely detailed, insightful and constructive, while also being kind and encouraging. Her critique gave me a far clearer understanding of picture book structure and the editing process, as well as valuable direction on how to strengthen my current manuscript. Laura was incredibly responsive throughout the process, with fast replies, regular updates and thoughtful communication which made me feel very reassured as someone...
