Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

I enjoyed my collaboration with Kourtney so much! She was responsive, kind, and willing to work with me and my ever-changing design ideas. Her art speaks for itself and I'm so grateful that my novel gets to live alongside it. If you get the chance to work with Kourtney, you won't regret it!

Working with Olga was an excellent experience. She went above and beyond, showing remarkable patience to ensure the cover was absolutely perfect - and the result exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, she was friendly, communicative, and receptive to every request for revision. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her.

I am so thankful for George! He is patient, understanding, a great communicator, and above all else a true professional. His enviable artistic skills brought my characters to life in a way I couldn't ever have imagined. I was so pleased that I literally opened up his drafts on my laptop and kept them open all day every day just so I could glance at them when I got a break. I cannot recommend George enough; he is the real deal. You will not be sorry.

Elena is a PR genius! She completely transformed our outreach and put together a stunning PR kit that captured our brand perfectly. Working with her was seamless, effective, and honestly, amazing. She is the absolute best at what she does. Her outreach strategy was precise, thoughtful, and yielded fantastic results. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her work are unparalleled. If you have the chance to hire Elena, take it—she is simply the best!

I loved working with Megan; she was very quick and responsive, and I'm thrilled with the final cover. She was very clear from the start on what was included, with no hidden extras for me to worry about. The selection of initial concepts was based on what I'd requested, but also with some new ideas, all of which were a great fit for my book. As a first-time author, I had lots of questions, including questions about her questions! But she was very patient with her answers, which really helped t...

Working with Brianna was an absolute gift. When I first came to her, I had pages and pages of content—thoughts, reflections, stories—all meaningful, but scattered and disorganized. Brianna stepped in with clarity, insight, and deep editorial expertise to help shape my ideas into a cohesive, logical, and impactful manuscript. She didn’t just edit my work—she helped me find the book within it. Her developmental feedback was sharp, thoughtful, and always encouraging. She understood the heart of...

Working with Frances was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. From the beginning, she gave me honest, constructive feedback that really pushed me as a writer, which was exactly what I needed. Her notes were thoughtful and clear, and she never just pointed out what wasn’t working without explaining why, in a way that clicked for me. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I felt very supported and could tell she genuinely loves what...

Travis was a pleasure to work with. Not only did he provide two separate annotated manuscripts and thoughtful analysis of my work, he also met me with me one-on-one over video to help me develop my story into a much stronger version. Additionally, there was an option for a second meeting that I was unable to make happen by our deadline. Instead, Travis offered for me to send any questions I had for him in a doc where he could provide feedback. Not only did he answer my questions, but he provi...

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...

Working with Nicola has been an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Her creativity, talent, and attention to detail brought my story to life in a way I could only have dreamed of. Every illustration perfectly captured the characters, emotions, and magical moments within the book, adding so much charm and personality to each page. Nicola was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about creating something special. As a first-time author, seeing my words transfor...

Working with Steve K. at KUHN Design Group was one of the best decisions I made in publishing my debut book, Healing Without Shame: Faith, Mental Health, and the Courage to Be Honest. From the very first conversation, Steve brought professionalism, clarity, and genuine craftsmanship to every aspect of the project. Steve designed both the cover and the interior of my book, and the results exceeded every expectation. The cover is stunning! The imagery, the color palette, and the typography all...

This is my first time writing a book and I am SO glad I chose Wayne to illustrate the picture book. He is AMAZING! #1 - I love his art. He really brings the story to life in ways I wouldn't have ever thought of. Also, I noticed that while a lot of the other illustrators had lovely drawings, but a bunch of them felt the same. Wayne's really just called to me and felt unique and one off for the books. #2 - Wayne is great to work with. He had some great suggestions on the book that real...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy. Her developmental feedback was very detailed, thoughtful, and constructive. She has a real talent for identifying both what’s working in a story and where it can be strengthened, and she communicates her insights in a clear and encouraging way. She helped me see my work from a completely fresh perspective. Her suggestions felt both practical and inspiring, giving me a clear path forward while still respecting my voice as a writer. I’d highly r...
