Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...

I am totally delighted with Ed and how he has improved my entire project. Not only does he pay meticulous attention to every detail, every comma, every capital letter, but he also combines it with the higher-level view of the story style and construction. A wee side note from Ed saying "laughed at this" or similar comments makes the whole process so fun. I was excited to read each of his notes to find the ones that showed we were reading this together. I feel I was lucky to find Ed.

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

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 Emma was an absolutely phenomenal experience. She is kind, responsive, and wonderfully honest. What sets Emma apart is the time she spends upfront getting to know your vision. She tailored her feedback directly to our goals, and because she built such a strong foundation of trust, her critiques were easy to handle and immediately elevated our story. On top of her exceptional editorial eye, Emma has an elite understanding of the traditional publishing industry. Thanks to her, we a...

Absolutely Outstanding! Jonas Brought My Vision to Life and Then Some Working with Jonas on the cover design and typography for my debut book was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, he was easy to communicate with, incredibly patient, and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. As a first-time author, I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but no clue how to make it happen—Jonas not only translated my ideas into a stunning design, but elevated them beyond what I ever i...

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

Kristen's attention to detail and thorough understanding of how to improve a manuscript were nothing short of remarkable. I requested several editorial services, all of which were completed promptly and to an exceptionally high standard. Her feedback was insightful, constructive, and consistently explained not only what could be improved, but why those changes strengthened the manuscript. Throughout the process, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping my work re...

Mike was great to work with. He was able to take my kernel of an idea and create many different versions of book covers to choose from. He was always willing to bounce ideas and provided some interesting contrasts that I hadn't thought of, but loved. I am already receiving positive comments about his work. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

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!

Zuchal has been wonderful to work with throughout the process of creating my first book. From day one, he was very clear about his expectations and requirements and was very patient with the entire process. He was quick to make changes I had to my cover, and was sure to answer any questions I had with a clear explanation! Beautiful work all around, the drawing is clear and colourful, just what I was hoping for! I hope to work with him again for future projects. I would highly recommend using ...

I was very grateful to find Pamela who provided efficient, quality translation for my fiction book from English to German. She understood the quirk of my writing and was able to provide parallel meanings that didn't interfere with the impact of the storyline. I look forward to working with her again for other short stories collections.

Working with Corbin has truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm and reassuring, which was great as someone who never imagined I’d be writing a book at this stage of life. Her feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and deeply constructive. She helped elevate the structure while honoring the heart and voice of my work. I will be continuing with her beyond the first round of edits and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any wri...

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...

I enjoyed meeting Adam and working with him on my PB. He provided resources in his initial assessment, provided justification where he has questions and he didn't make assumptions on the characters. We had a virtual meeting and I was able to provide the answers and context regarding my characters and where my story could go. Adam left me with realistic hope that my story could be further explored to become an essential, relatable tale that would be enjoyed by many audiences.
