If I could give more stars, I would. Dakota's editorial assessment and copy editing was beyond helpful and encouraging. I'm excited to work more on my writing with the feedback she provided. The line by line suggestions were transformative! Hire Dakota and benefit from her keen eye and warm approach. Thank you!

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...

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

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.

Working with Andy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first Zoom call, he took the time to truly understand the scope of my project while patiently answering all of my questions. His communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. It was always prompt, clear, and professional. I never felt unsure about where things stood, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Andy is not only highly skilled at what he does, but he also brings a level ...

Nicola is a fantastic author's coach with a highly professional approach who helped me create an overall outline for my first historical novel idea. Her work with me transformed my static research and character pen-pictures into a dynamic and dramatic sequence of events, the beginnings of a great story based on real-life events! Lots of tips and techniques along the way, and a feeling that I have all I need now to write and bring the whole episode to life.

I worked with Helen on an editorial assessment for my adult fantasy manuscript The Burned Name, and it was an extremely positive experience from start to finish. Her feedback was thoughtful, practical, and clearly came from someone who really understands both story craft and the current publishing landscape. What I appreciated most was how targeted her notes were. She didn’t try to rewrite the book or swamp it with changes, but focused on the areas that would genuinely strengthen it and make...

I selected Sebastian after interviewing several designers and conducting thorough research. From the very beginning, his credentials, portfolio, and thoughtful communication stood out and gave me the confidence that I was making the right choice. Throughout the process, that confidence only deepened. Sebastian designed the full visual identity of my book, including six original illustrations, five symbolic illustrations plus an additional detailed illustration, each of which was beautifully a...

She is absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning, she approached my manuscript with incredible care and attention to detail, making sure that every single comment was clear, easy to understand, and directly relevant to my work. She didn’t just mark things for the sake of editing—she provided thoughtful, well-explained notes that reflected what she truly thought, showing that she took the time to engage deeply with my writing. Her feedback was concise yet thorough, never overwhelming, and...

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...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

I initially reached out to Julie because of her experience with military history and religion—both critical aspects of my book—but was soon struck by her attention to detail across the breadth of my story’s concerns. I felt at once as though a fellow traveler had happened across my dig-site, understood what I was up to, and pitched in to help. One moment I’m brushing away dirt and debris from some bewildering artifact, extracting those pieces that might otherwise comprise the whole, and the n...

This was the most incredible experience ever for me. Florin was extremely professional and also kind, his work exceeded my expectations while aligning perfectly with my vision. He went above and beyond with my many different requests, and created something truly special, unique and beautiful. I sent many different references and explanations, and his work was exactly what I wanted, but with creativity and skill I couldn’t have imagined myself. It was my first time commissioning an artist ...

This was my first time working with Lok Yee and I had a great experience with her! She has a fresh and enlightening view that helped me a lot with looking at my edits. I will definitely be working with her again very soon!

The proof of my admiration for and gratitude to Jaime is the “Special Acknowledgement” of him that will go in the Spanish edition of my book, which reads as follows: “It was essential to me to have a Spanish version of my book. I wanted this vital, amazing and diverse community to have an opportunity to read the story in their own language. That required a translation as fluent and sensitive to Spanish speakers as I tried to achieve in the original for English speakers. I am deeply indebted t...
