Alice did a thorough job of proofreading my book. She answered all of my questions with clarity and in a timely manner. Her cost was reasonable, and I am satisfied with her professionalism. It was a pleasure working with her.

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

Edyta is a talented artist and created a whimsical and wonderful illustration for a project I'm working on. Excited to work with her again!

Michael is a brilliant editor, and a super-friendly, responsive, patient, supportive person to engage with. He was in constant touch with me throughout the process of editing my manuscript, answering all of my questions. He went beyond my expectations, for example verifying historical and cultural references and allusions in the manuscript, pointing out issues that seemed amiss. (I had mis-titled a fairly obscure painting, and he caught it.) I could not have found a better, more detail-or...

Working with Carol Trow was the single best decision I made for my book. As an inexperienced author, I needed more than just an editor; I needed a guide, and Carol was exceptional in every way. Her critiques were not only professional and objective but truly invaluable. She has a rare talent for seeing the heart of a project and knowing exactly how to make it stronger. Her patience was remarkable, but what stood out most was her genuine concern, not just for the success of my book, but for my...

Working with Dora has been an absolute pleasure! In addition to her brilliant work as an artist, Dora has consistently demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness. She took my feedback into careful consideration and created a beautiful piece that truly honored my vision. I am so grateful for collaborating with her on my book cover!

Rich was the most kind and understanding person ever! Having him as my illustrator for my very first children's book was such a blessing. He is so patient, generous, and supportive and is STILL helping me through the self publishing process even though the collaboration date is technically done. I am a college student working multiple jobs while trying to make ends meet and he met me where I needed to make my dreams come true. God truly blessed me with a talented illustrator that I will cer...

Working with Ameesha has been an absolute pleasure. From the very first conversation I knew she was "the one". It was clear straight away that she totally “got” the project - the tone, the ambition, the structure - and she’s been exactly the right person to undertake the editorial review. Her feedback was thoughtful, constructive and always rooted in what will make the book clearer, stronger and more effective for readers. She strikes the right balance of offering honest critique while makin...

Working with Louise on The Healing Home has been an absolutely wonderful experience from beginning to end. She brought such creativity, professionalism, and thoughtful attention to every detail of the project. From the very first sample pages, I could immediately feel that she truly understood the calm, elevated, and healing aesthetic I envisioned for the book. Louise has an incredible talent for transforming words into a visually beautiful experience. Her layouts, typography, image placemen...

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...

Erin delivered beyond what I expected out of our engagement on so many levels. Firstly, she instantly recognized what I was trying to achieve with a very complex story structure. Then, she offered me a call to really understand my goals with my project, and later guided me on the kind of engagement needed to achieve my goals. When she delivered the outcome of our engagement, it was clear that she'd really immersed herself into the work, arming herself by (re)reading the works of masters whose...

I cannot say enough good things about Yuliia and her team. The illustrations for my book were beyond anything I could have imagined. Yuliia is so kind, professional, and prompt with every response. The work was completed ahead of schedule on her end, and I truly will never go with anyone else again. I 100% recommend her!

I hired Staci for a developmental assessment of my memoir and was impressed by the thoughtfulness and depth of her feedback. She clearly took the time to engage with both the manuscript and the larger story I was trying to tell. The assessment was detailed, insightful, and at times difficult to read—which is exactly what I needed. Rather than offering vague encouragement, Staci identified weaknesses in structure, theme, and narrative focus while also highlighting the strengths of my writing....

Tom has been wonderful to work with. I will definitely hire him in the future and would recommend him again and again. He is a great communicator, kind, highly skilled.

Milica did an incredible job of interpreting what I wanted, and gently guiding me on good design. She was easy to work with, very responsive and met every deadline and delivered exactly what she said she would. I could not be happier with the outcome, a beautiful book cover that is already grabbing attention on social media, and a beautifully presented interior. I would not hesitate to work with Milica again, and highly recommend her.
