I would like to leave a very positive review for Elena V. the copy editor for my project, A Tapestry Complete. This was my first book attempt. I chose Elena for two reasons: First, based on her profile and her experience. The second, out of 5 copy editors, Elena was the only one who came back with an offer and was able to complete the project in my time frame. Elena assisted me with all of my questions. I am not as experienced with technology, and she guided me through the steps to upload an...

I enjoyed working with Jamie so much the first time, I have retained for a second session. I found her feedback invaluable and very helpful for this first time author.

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

I've worked with several editors on previous books, and Kevin has proved to be the best ever. He did an exceptional job for me and I can't say enough about his editing skills, genre knowledge and insights. He is a talented editor who sees the big picture while being able to find the seemingly inconsequential details that can make or break a great book. With degrees in English Lit. and several years of writing experience, I still missed a mistake as basic as changing (by one letter), the last...

Lyndsey is amazing! I highly recommend her editorial assessment service and her line and copy edits. She is very happy to talk and answer questions if needed, and she will absolutely take your manuscript to the next level! She is also encouraging and complimentary when she gives her advice. I had a great time working with her on my fantasy manuscript.

Nina is FABULOUS. She is excels at communicating and gives thoughtful feedback. With her comprehensive edit of my novel, she never tried changing my voice or the structure of the story. She only made it stronger! I can't recommend working with Nina enough!

Matt was a pro throughout his editorial assessment of my sci-fi novel. His communication about what to expect, timeline, what he needed from me, etc. was all prompt and clear. He didn't sugarcoat his critical feedback, but he wasn't mean about my work's shortcomings, either. All in all, it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Working with Jackie Bates has been an absolute joy. She has guided us through two rounds of edits and has been nothing short of outstanding. She strikes the perfect balance between being supportive and knowing exactly when to push us further, helping us grow not only as authors but also in how we shaped and developed our characters. Beyond her keen editorial insight, she is approachable, funny, and easy to talk to—even about tough topics. She has been incredibly accommodating, patiently worki...

Working with Elise was a dream come true! Great advice, wonderful work ethic and extremely skilled. She was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with! I’m elated to work with her on my next project!

This was my first time doing a book cover. He was professional and incredibly patient. Best of all--he guided me on the cover design. Other artists I'd approached had just asked my idea for a cover and seemed willing to produce that, no questions asked. He was the only one who, before we even agreed to a contract, pushed me to think about the emotion I'm trying to convey. He politely pushed back on a couple of ideas that would have been mistakes, and explained why those weren't great ideas. T...

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...

Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Bo to anyone in need of an excellent proofreader. Bo's methodical proofreading of my manuscript before it went to publication, his careful and meticulous attention to detail, and his thoughtful review made him an invaluable second pair of eyes. His thoroughness in catching nuances and his prompt turn-around time were greatly appreciated and played a crucial role in ensuring the manuscript was polished and ready for publication. Much appreciat...

Working with Holly has been one of the most affirming and transformative parts of bringing my first book to life. She was incredibly patient and brought an unwavering sensitivity to language, form, and emotional nuance that honoured the spirit of the book with rare insight, and never for once did she divert from my voice. Her editorial approach is both intuitive and rigorous. She didn't just read the work - she felt it. She understood its lyrical undercurrents, its fragmentary rhythm, and th...

Allen was a delight to work with. He was thoughtful, creative, and entirely responsive to our needs and feedback. The quality of his work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier.

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...
