Louise was an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. She brought a sharp eye for detail, strong consistency across a complex fantasy–science fiction manuscript, and a clear respect for the author’s voice and world-building. She handled continuity, formatting questions, and stylistic consistency with care, and her communication was timely, thoughtful, and professional throughout the process. When she raised questions, they were always precise and helpful, and she never imposed cha...

So impressed with the whole experience working with Matthew. He was really outstanding throughout the process, went way above and beyond on everything from explaining every feature or use of the site to setting up or connecting to other related sites or services, and his extra work on the design. His communication was so clear and thorough, truly felt his care about the project. And the end result was tremendous and really fit my book and its world. Definitely looking forward to working with...

Leonora has done it again. This is my third time collaborating with her, and each experience has been better than the last. I can’t imagine working with anyone else as my copy editor. She’s meticulous and deeply knowledgeable - not just in her craft, but in a wide range of topics, which has been invaluable in catching moments where something doesn’t make logistical or period-appropriate sense. She’s also incredibly responsive, highly communicative, and unfailingly delivers on time. Having sp...

If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

It is such a pleasure to write a review for Jennifer Stimson—because oh my goodness, she is EXCEPTIONAL! I was initially drawn to Jennifer because of her excellent reviews. Then, when I saw samples of her work and started to communicate with her, I knew I was in great hands! First and foremost, I’m impressed with her talent – her artistic choices; the stylistic elements she added to my pages; her page layouts and font choices that fit the theme of my book; the polish she added to the formatt...

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.

Kevin is a wonderfully talented illustrator. His illustrations for our fifth collaboration, The Adventures of Ulixes: The Treasure in Jupiter's Chariot, perfectly complement my vision for the story. His creativity, attention to detail, and skill bring the characters and world to life. I can't wait to work with him again on the sixth book in the 7 Tokens of Rome series. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for an exceptional illustrator.

Wow. I highly recommend Lee. I've just finished working with him on my first book. He's top notch. Very creative, professional, highly skilled, talented, positive, helpful, and encouraging too. I really enjoyed the process of working with him. He went above and beyond giving me helpful tips since he's published some books himself, and he patiently worked with me as I try to fit publishing my first book; Capacity, Escape Your Invisible Limits, into my busy life. The cover that Lee designed is ...

Working with Rennie was one of the best decisions I made during the publishing process. As a first-time author, I quickly learned that editing is about much more than grammar, punctuation, and style. It requires someone who can strengthen a manuscript while protecting the author's voice. Rennie did exactly that. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and insightful. She challenged me where the manuscript needed strengthening, encouraged me where it was working, and always approach...

Okay.... I'm losing count of how many times Mark and I have worked together over the years and I'm running out of superlatives (bad admission for an author, I know). If you are looking for a strategic-minded book designer, do yourself a favor and see if he's available. He is the best.

Working with Milica was great! I wanted her to be inspired by some of the writing to see what she could come up with. She provided various options for my cover art and interior design and I absolutely loved them. There was some back and forth to tweak some of the elements and Milica was always responsive and professional. I highly recommend her!

Lauren is excellent to work with and timely in her responses. Her knowledge and insight are invaluable and well-appreciated. She provided me with clear and direct feedback that has helped me shape my story better. I look forward to continuing to work with Lauren in the future. Thank you!!

Laura's feedback and attention to detail have been invaluable in helping me progress my novel towards publication. She is thorough and meticulous in her editing, and always professional, encouraging and friendly in our interactions. I have appreciated her prompt and detailed responses and her very useful suggestions. I highly recommend Laura for her sensitivity, expertise and experience.

Jaime is THE BEST!!! I am a tad bit... neurotic: weird to work with overall, and Jaime was beyond tolerant! She was friendly and messaged me in a way that made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was funny and kind, while not sugar coating the truths of my writing. She was straightforward in her coaching and respected my decisions even when they went against popular writing convention. Now let's talk about her affect on my wallet: soooooo much better than the other options....

Kara provided thoughtful, high-quality feedback with real editorial insight. She was professional and clear throughout the project, and her notes were constructive and actionable—not just opinions, but guidance I could apply immediately. She elevated the manuscript while retaining my voice, which made the process both productive and reassuring.
