Was very helpful in bringing my story to life even though it was a mess she did a really good job in helping me to sort it out. Will be working with her again to further develop my story c:

Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on my...

Working with Lisa Edwards on my first book was nothing short of transformative. She guided me through the entire process with respect, clarity, and a level of thoroughness that made me feel supported at every step. I deeply appreciated her time, her patience, and her genuine passion for the creative process. Lisa brings a rare combination of strengths: she understands both the creative side of storytelling and the technical side of publishing. That dual perspective shaped the kind of deep, in...

Amber is phenomenal at what she does! Her communication was timely and thorough from beginning to end. I went with her because of how much value/personalized feedback she offered to me on my chapter sample before we even began working together. She clearly got the heart and soul of my book. We got to have two calls together, and I can't imagine my book getting to the level of quality its now at without her development editing report and extensive feedback. I will work with her again in a hear...

This is the second time I have worked with Steve. My appreciation for his work is a 10. Thank you, Steve!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working with Eva Maria Dietrich Carreño has been one of the most impactful decisions I’ve made—not just for my manuscript, but for my life. As an editor, Eva brings an extraordinary level of insight, care, and precision to the work. She doesn’t just review your writing—she truly sees it. She understands the heart of what you’re trying to create and helps you elevate it without ever compromising your voice. If anything, she encourages you to go bigger, bolder, and deeper into your trut...

Working with Ken was such a great experience! As a first-time author, I had plenty of questions, ideas, and moments where I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, but he was patient, supportive, and professional throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was how open he was to feedback. We went through several iterations of the chapter design, and he never once made me feel bad about asking for changes. Instead, he worked with me until the design felt like the perfect fit for the book....

My experience with Matt exceeded every expectation I had! He didn’t just help improve my graphic novel; he taught me how to think like a graphic novelist. From scripting and layout to visualization and industry terminology, he generously shared his knowledge and caught issues I didn’t even know existed. The transformation from my original draft to where the project is now is honestly mind-blowing. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and empowering. If you’re serious about learning and levelin...

Tom has helped me immensely with writing my fantasy novel. Were it not for him, I'd have taken much more time to get where I am today in the process, and with a lot more difficulty. He's a great guy and very professional, couldn't recommend him enough.

It was fantastic working with Nicola. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of the editing work. She demonstrated a strong understanding of the content and offered thoughtful suggestions. This genuinely enhanced the clarity and flow. Communication throughout was timely and smooth. Nicola provided clear explanations and changes. I would highly recommend Nicola's services and would definitely use her services again if needed. Nicola is skilled, reliable and very frie...

David was an excellent editor. He was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive. I could not have asked for a better editor. David took extra time to explain the suggested changes. Everything along the way was helpful. I am very thankful that I found him. His work was exceptional.

Fantastic translation of my book. Professional. Quick-working. Easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs Spanish translation work done.

Barbara was amazing to work with! She made the process easy, her edits were extremely helpful and detailed, and she even completed the project ahead of schedule. Looking forward to the next project together!
