Mike did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. I had written a children's book for my son's first birthday and Mike truly captured everything I wanted in each illustration. He was very open to talking through illustrations and taking the time to understand exactly what I envisioned. I would 100% recommend Mike if you are looking for an illustrator.

As a first-time author writing a quasi-memoir through my essays, I needed more than just technical editing—I needed someone who could understand my vision and help me bring these deeply personal stories to life. Mika exceeded every expectation. From our very first interaction, Mika took the time to truly understand what I was trying to accomplish with my book. Writing personal essays is an incredibly vulnerable process, and Mika created a supportive environment that made me feel empowered ra...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

I wanted a cover that depicted a specific scene from my science fiction novel, like an old mass market paperback. I knew a generic cover wouldn't cut it. I needed an artist, not just a designer. And with Alex, I got an artist. I sent him descriptions of the "shot", the characters, the setting. So much detail I was worried about information overload. Alex calmly took it all in, sorted it out, thought about it for a while, sent some sketches, we talked, he sent some more. And after a little mor...

Alan has now completed a few projects for me, and he is the best. He is responsive, professional, and always does an incredible job.

Working with Emma was an absolutely phenomenal experience. She is kind, responsive, and wonderfully honest. What sets Emma apart is the time she spends upfront getting to know your vision. She tailored her feedback directly to our goals, and because she built such a strong foundation of trust, her critiques were easy to handle and immediately elevated our story. On top of her exceptional editorial eye, Emma has an elite understanding of the traditional publishing industry. Thanks to her, we a...

Mary Ann was a complete professional in every respect. Her work was creative and responsive to my suggestions. I can’t say enough about her wonderful design!

Nina is an incredible editor. She goes above and beyond to make sure she knows exactly who you are as a writer and what goals you set out to achieve— to the extent that I can believe she is as invested in my story as I am. Feedback is clearly designed to help you achieve, and each critique well justified. Nina has a clear extensive knowledge of the literary industry, and will be honest about where your writing stands in the market. Her work is delivered in a timely manner. As a new writer, I ...

Pamela has always delivered fantastic work on time. She's excellent when it comes to translating romance and erotica, and she's also comfortable translating stories with taboo sexual themes. It's always a pleasure to work with her, and that's why I'm still a repeat customer!

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )

Detailed, careful, positive, candid, knowledgable and forensic. Perfect.

Gail did an amazing, top tier developmental edit and assessment for me! She is the real deal. Extremely professional. I highly recommend her!

Zuchal has been wonderful to work with throughout the process of creating my first book. From day one, he was very clear about his expectations and requirements and was very patient with the entire process. He was quick to make changes I had to my cover, and was sure to answer any questions I had with a clear explanation! Beautiful work all around, the drawing is clear and colourful, just what I was hoping for! I hope to work with him again for future projects. I would highly recommend using ...

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...

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Once again, her structural edit was outstanding. I’ve worked with Rachel multiple times now, and that continuity makes such a difference—she knows my voice, my style, and the heart of my stories, and she edits in a way that enhances my voice rather than reshaping it. Her feedback is meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply insightful. Every suggestion strengthens the narrative, sharpens the emotional arc, and helps the story truly sing. Rachel has an incred...
