Working with Leslie was one of the best decisions I made during the development of my first book, Signal Integrity. I hired Leslie to complete both the copy edit and the final proofread, and she exceeded my expectations at every stage. Leslie brought an extraordinary level of care and thoughtfulness to the manuscript. Her edits strengthened the writing, improved clarity and consistency, and helped me address several important structural and formatting issues. Just as importantly, she never t...

Victoria was not only wonderful to deal with, friendly and accommodating, she also provided me with a thorough and detailed edit that has helped me produce a polished manuscript. Her communication was excellent and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Working with Becky Wallace has been one of the greatest privileges of my journey as an author. Becky has masterfully edited the last three books in my series, and her work has elevated every aspect of my writing. She possesses a rare combination of sharp editorial precision, deep storytelling insight, and genuine respect for an author’s voice. Becky expertise isn't limited to correcting grammar or restructuring sentences, she will strengthen the heart of your story. Her edits consistently sh...

I have sent Sam three children's stories to date. He makes each scene more lively and suggest ideas that I had never thought of. Sam makes editing a stress free process!

Mamie has simplified the process of marketing and made the process a lot less intimidating. When I was first seeking out a professional to assist me, I was afraid I would have to do it in a way I wasn't comfortable with yet at that time, but I never once felt pushed into any avenue that I didn't want to do. She really has taken a load off my shoulders and I've come out of it knowing a lot more than I ever would on my own.

Tilda’s approach was exceptionally thorough and thoughtful. What particularly impressed me was that she didn’t look at the manuscript in isolation, instead she took the time to understand the wider arc of the series, asked for chapter summaries, and really engaged with what I was trying to achieve over several books. Her wider experience of children’s publishing and working with editors and authors clearly informs the way she approaches a project. The feedback was detailed and very well organ...

Abbie was such a pleasure to work with: thorough, communicative, prompt, and so kind. Her feedback was incredibly clear with some really astute observations and recommendations that absolutely have improved the quality of my manuscript. Her kind works and clear passion for the work definitely gave me a boost in confidence and made me excited to get stuck back into making the necessary tweaks. Her experience in the industry was incredibly valuable also, giving me fantastic advice that I had no...

I cannot say enough good things about Colleen. She worked closely with me to make my dream project come true and she was super responsive and attentive each step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure every page was exactly right, doing multiple rounds of edits to get it perfect. Colleen did an amazing job of bringing the story to life - the illustrations are beautiful and the final product couldn't have turned out better. I had never published a book before and she walked me thr...

Maxwell has a rare gift for seeing the 'big picture' without losing sight of the small, vital details. His developmental work helped me peel back the layers of my story and find its true heart. He is professional, insightful, and deeply committed to the integrity of the work. If you are looking to take your book to the next level, Maxwell is the editor you want in your corner.

Lia was an incredible editor and co-creator to work with to bring my first spiritual awakening book into form. Since I was very new to structuring a book, Lia guided me immensely through the developmental edit to make my manuscript more robust, impactful, succinct and flowing. She offered super helpful feedback on where to clarify parts, bring my storytelling more to life, add examples and link each chapter so it all weaves together seamlessly. Through implementing her feedback, I found mysel...

This is my first childrens book, and David was amazing to work with from start to finish, his experience really was so valuable to me and made the whole project so smooth and effortless. He really understood my vision and delivered the most beautiful and alive illustrations for my book. He has a great ability to create characters and give so much expression and personality to them. I plan on doing a series of these and will be for sure using him again. I highly recommend him!

I am a first-time author. I worked on a memoir project for 2.5 years before I felt the manuscript had reached an ending point. I'd never written a book before, and everywhere I turned, learning curves blossomed. That is, until I was fortunate enough to choose Elizabeth as my Developmental Editor. I'd hoped for professionalism matched by kind insight, understanding, and patience - I got all that and more. Elizabeth exceeded all expectations. She turned out to be just the right choice for...

Jude gave me a professional, insightful and useful report which has given me the confidence and resources to take my project to the next level.

Zoe was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, understanding, and so fast with changes! Not only did she finish on time, she completed the work a month early once she learned of some time constraints on my end. I cannot say enough good things...and I hope to use her again soon. :)
