Working with Dan was an absolute joy from start to finish. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he brought a rare combination of creativity, patience, and professionalism to every interaction. He really took the time to listen, collaborate, and bring my vision to life - never pushing his own agenda, always focused on what felt right for me. I felt truly partnered with throughout the process, and it was clear that his priority was making sure I was genuinely happy with the final result. ...

Great edit with high attention to detail. HIghly recommend!

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!

Emma is an amazing person to work with. She is extremely communicative, prompt, and provides excellent advice that really takes your story to the next level. Her professionalism and skills are top of the line, and I plan to work with her for future projects!

Robin's line edits dramatically improved how my story sounds. After applying the edits, the story sounds so much smoother! I also appreciated the suggestions for stronger verbs and picking up parts of the story that didn't make sense or weren't articulated clearly. Robin is very thorough, thoughtful and a true professional. I hope to work with her on future projects, too.

Jenny was an absolute joy to work with as a developmental editor. From our initial conversation, it was clear she genuinely cared about understanding my vision and helping me elevate my manuscript. Her insights were sharp, actionable, and always aligned with my goals for the book. She communicated feedback clearly and constructively, making the revision process both enjoyable and productive. I can confidently say my book is significantly stronger because of Jenny's guidance. If you're looking...

I had a great experience working with Joel on the illustrations for my middle grade chapter book. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and really thoughtful about bringing the characters and scenes to life. Joel did a fantastic job capturing the personality and tone of the story, and his illustrations added so much charm and fun to the book. He was also very open to feedback and quick to make adjustments whenever needed. I really appreciated how collaborative the whole process fel...

I worked with Steph for developmental and line editing (who hasn't left out a few hundred commas here or there...) and I LOVED thier vibe and approach to the whole process from the very start when I sent them a sample of my work. I walked into the process of editing very green (this is my first novel) and Steph was very supportive, constructive and helpful throughout. Steph is very real and authentic in their approach to giving feedback and notes. Also, they're incredibly good at teasing ou...

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!

Really enjoyed working with Scott! About a month after we worked together on my query letter, I signed with a literary agent - can't give a better rec than that!

Working with Daniel was a pleasure. His design was beautiful and captured exactly what I was hoping for. Whenever I asked for an edit to be made, he was responsive and happy to do it. When I had questions and needed clarification because this was my first book, he was there with both reassurance and confidence. He went above and beyond at the end of the project when I was very anxious about getting the book to print and made himself super available for last minute adjustments. I worked with b...

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

Kathy was great--her thoughtfulness and feedback went above and beyond. I felt like she was truly invested in the project and saw its potential. her suggestions for rewrites were spot on and very constructive. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and will once the rewrites are complete.

Joy was amazing to work on. She gave me clear advice that's going to make my novel a lot better. She also completed the project early, and checked in with me multiple times during the process.

Amelia exceeded expectations in every way. This book is better in measurable ways because of her. She brought out things in me that were unexpected and incredibly valuable to this project.
