Working with Andie has been such an affirming part of my publishing journey. My book is a deeply personal, emotionally layered memoir, and Andie treated it with the reverence, insight, and clarity it deserved. Her feedback was thoughtful, precise and felt soulfully attuned. She understood the heart of my work, helped elevate its impact, and made me feel seen not just as a writer, but as a human being telling the truth. As someone entirely new to the writing world, I expected to feel out of p...

Lisa Kaitz is, without question, the finest editor I have worked with—and I say that having collaborated with more than ten editors across multiple books. She is exceptionally focused, remarkably attentive to even the smallest details, and consistently thoughtful in her editorial judgment. Like all truly great editors, Lisa is loyal first and foremost to the reader. She challenged me when necessary, strengthened the narrative at every level, and worked tirelessly to help me produce the strong...

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...

Tom has been a fantastic editor. Encouraging and clear. From the start, he was very engaged with the genre and plot of my novel. At the beginning of the process, I was unhappy with the structure of my dual timeline story. As an industry expert, he pointed out how to position the narratives and re-order the timelines for maximum effect. His advice has been invaluable and I would happily recommend his services to anyone needing a developmental edit. (Having said that, he went above and beyond t...

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

Megan provided excellent developmental and copy editing for my 26,000-word memoir. Her key strength was identifying structural gaps in the narrative - she noted something felt "missing," which led me to add crucial backstory that significantly improved the story's emotional logic. She delivered on time, accommodated substantial revisions professionally, and preserved my voice while improving clarity. Clear communication throughout. I would not hesitate to work with Megan again.

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Working with Claire has been an incredible experience. She brought such care, insight, and attention to detail to my manuscript, and her feedback was both constructive and encouraging. Claire has a real gift for helping an author bring out the best in their work while ensuring clarity, flow, and consistency. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she went above and beyond to make sure the editing process felt smooth and collaborative. I felt fully supported every step of the way,...

Working with Lucy was an incredible experience from start to finish. She completed my book on time, and her attention to detail truly elevated the entire manuscript. Her edits were thoughtful, precise, and always respectful of my voice, helping the story feel stronger and more cohesive without losing what made it mine. Beyond the edits themselves, the style sheet Lucy created was especially helpful as it aided me in seeing how my words were being interpreted! I’m so grateful for her profes...

As a first time author, I was unsure of what to expect from the editing process. Tom was very helpful and responsive. He answered all of my questions and gave me thorough feedback that helped me look at my book from a whole new perspective. Highly recommend!

Blair's skills were outstanding! She took my messy manuscript and turned it into a much better book. The Zoom call was a big plus as it allowed us to discuss messages, answer questions and dialog on my story. Highly recommended!!

Kim was incredibly fast, efficient, and provided valuable thought partnership on some grammatical grey areas - such a pleasure to work with!

Working with Teresa has been a wonderful experience. As a new writer, I needed someone I could trust—someone who would guide me through the process, communicate clearly, and truly care about the work. Teresa is all of that and more. She’s a dedicated professional who made the journey smoother and gave me the confidence I needed to move forward. I especially appreciated our ongoing communication throughout the editing process. I highly recommend Teresa for developmental editing, editorial asse...

Elizabeth was a fantastic editor—thorough, professional, and incredibly kind in her feedback. She caught all of my typos, tense issues, and even spotted continuity errors I hadn’t noticed. Her notes were thoughtful and helped strengthen my novel. She delivered everything on time and communicated clearly throughout the process. I’d absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to other authors!

Elayne is a wonder to work with. She took the dreaded synopsis project and made the revision process feel easy. Her analysis was thoughtful and precise. She asked insightful questions that helped clarify what truly needed to be included (and what didn’t) to tell the story effectively in such a limited space. Her line edits were masterful. And what's more, I also working on a tight timeline, and she delivered everything ahead of schedule. An absolute pleasure. Thank you, Elayne!
