Ian is a meticulous editor, worth every penny you’d spend on editorial. Even though I hired Ian only to do copy edits, he put in the extra effort to proofread and also give some inputs on developmental level. Every comment he makes goes a long way in making my manuscript better. His impeccable work shows how much he cares for the manuscript and your story. His work not only improves my manuscript but also teaches me to be a better writer. My only regret is not involving Ian sooner in my work....

Jo is a real professional. Her help getting my project of designing a children's picture book was just what I needed. As first time children's book author and illustrator, there were many components that required more coordinating than I had anticipated. The project was beyond my capabilites, which is where Jo' expertise was so helpful. In the process, she pointed out things that needed adjustment to my copy and art. We had to rework some pages to fit the requirements of the printing company ...

Dom has a long list of excellent reviews for good reason. He is the consummate professional, an active listener, a coach, and a cheerleader, imploring you to achieve better results. AI cannot replicate his counsel. 6 stars!

Andy delivered an excellent interior layout and cover design. He was responsive, detail-oriented, and patient through multiple refinements, including adjustments for spiral binding and final indexing integration. The finished product is clean, professional, and precisely aligned with the functional intent of the book. I appreciated his clear communication and execution throughout the process and would gladly work with him again on future projects.

Working with Cassandra was an absolute joy! She brought so much care, attentiveness, and professionalism to every step of the process. I felt truly seen and supported throughout, and the quality of her work speaks for itself. I can’t recommend her enough - she made something deeply personal even more powerful, and I’ll always be grateful for that!

Tricia was an amazing partner! She provided thorough, detailed feedback across my manuscript and query letter. And as a first time author, this was invaluable. She let me know which areas were working well, where more information was needed, and if something was needed she provided ideas on how to get there. Because of her, I feel more confident in my story's plot and the direction I need to take it in. I will absolutely be partnering with Tricia again on my future projects!

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...

Marsha did an amazing job. She wasn't able to get to the project for a couple of months, but once she did, she completed it earlier than expected. She had great insights on what needed improved and paid close attention to the concerns I had going in.

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,...

I’m so glad I chose Jennifer to edit my book. She is incredibly detail-oriented and responsible. She has a way of catching those hidden mistakes between the lines that I had completely missed. You can really tell she loves what she does because she puts so much heart and energy into the work. She was always responsive and kept in touch throughout the whole project. I love how she’s both encouraging and a great critic—she strikes a perfect balance between highlighting strengths and addressing...

I can't say enough good things about Leila. She was insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly encouraging throughout the process. Her feedback helped clarify the story and strengthen its emotional core, especially through suggestions on the ending and the overall message. She was also very responsive, and her edits and notes were always constructive and easy to understand. Leila truly understood what I was trying to accomplish and helped elevate the story while still respecting my voice. I’m gr...

Marta was absolutely amazing. Incredible editor, went above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

David is ***excellent*** to work with! I cannot say enough GREAT things about him. I LOVE the cover he created for my book - I think it is perfect. He is easy to communicate with and responsive to requests. If I could give him 100 stars (instead of the 5 max) I would. David is top notch!

Helen was incredibly helpful; her insight pinpointed all of my story's strengths and weaknesses. This brought me clarity as a writer, allowing me to narrow my focus and iron out the bumpier parts of my book. Her criticisms were encouraging, boosting my confidence tremendously. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Working with Megan has been an absolute gift. She is not only incredibly kind but also deeply thoughtful in her approach. Every piece of feedback she gave was detailed, well-structured, and so clearly rooted in genuine care for both the story and me as a first-time author. She didn’t just edit my manuscript—she guided me through the publishing process with patience, encouragement, and wisdom. I felt supported every step of the way, and it truly made this journey less overwhelming and more exc...
