So I hired Eric because I had about 165,000 words I'd written about a trip I took 10 years ago and I needed someone else to help me make sense of it all and wrangle it into something that actually had some kind of narrative arc. Eric's advice and candour was super helpful in allowing me to see things from an outsiders perspective and his suggestions and insights really helped me tie it all together. He was honest and clear in his communication, and obviously a great writer himself, this was ...

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...

Michael is the copilot you want for your book. He’s the Goose to your Maverick. What a wonderful companion to have in this incredibly vast space of editing. I believe him to be sincere and he took his time on the subject matter and heart of my story. There is a soul behind the words we write and Michael catches the essence with a grace and knowledge only few possess. Honestly time is the greatest gift you can give someone. Even if we pay for it, he didn’t hurry through my story. I really enjo...

Working with Patricia was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She’s a true professional—meticulous, insightful, and deeply committed to the work. Her edits were sharp, her feedback thoughtful, and she even created a personalized style guide to ensure consistency throughout. Patricia went above and beyond, researching my book’s subject to inform her edits and offering insights that elevated the manuscript. She made me feel like we were part of the same publishing team, fully invested ...

Gabriella was a sharp, efficient editing partner on my government art grant application. She worked with my tight schedule for a quick turnaround and helped me submit everything by the deadline despite broader uncertainties. As a non-native English–speaking academic, I felt fortunate to be working with someone who shares an arts and humanities background and understands the nuance of academic writing. I especially valued how her editing feedback was clear, respectful, and explained her rea...

Working with Samantha was truly a dream experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly collaborative. She was open to ideas, thoughtful in her approach, and always bringing creative suggestions to the table. I especially appreciated that she took the time to read my book before diving into the design process. That level of care and attention is rare, and it absolutely showed in the final product. The cover she delivered didn't just meet my expectations, it exceeded them in every po...

Emma did a great job and I'm happy to recommend her services.

Working with Raman on The Life Compass website and Twitter launch was an excellent experience from start to finish. He consistently delivered high-quality work, maintained strong attention to detail, and showed great responsiveness throughout the entire project. From the site layout and mobile optimization to the card design and strategic planning for social media, Raman brought structure, creativity, and reliability to every phase. Communication was smooth, and he was always proactive in of...

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

The proof of my admiration for and gratitude to Jaime is the “Special Acknowledgement” of him that will go in the Spanish edition of my book, which reads as follows: “It was essential to me to have a Spanish version of my book. I wanted this vital, amazing and diverse community to have an opportunity to read the story in their own language. That required a translation as fluent and sensitive to Spanish speakers as I tried to achieve in the original for English speakers. I am deeply indebted t...

This is my first novel and Patricia was amazing. Love her work and she is such a pleasure to work with! We completed our initial contract. However, we are collaborating on creating a back cover for this book. The work has been brought to life and I'm so excited. Highly reccommend!

Holly will give your manuscript the most beautifully brutal treatment it needs! Having done several rounds of self-edits, and a round of Beta reading, I submitted my Romantasy manuscript for her treatment, and let's say - she has a gift for this! While it is hard to receive a report like this, which really dives into your work with a critical eye, Holly has a way of delivering this in a way that you know she's on your side, she wants your book to be great, and she knows how to get it there. S...

Working with Sarah was an exceptionally positive experience. Her developmental assessment was thoughtful, precise, and deeply respectful of both my voice and the heart of my manuscript. Rather than offering generic feedback, she provided clear structural insight that immediately clarified how to strengthen the book’s organization, flow, and reader experience. What stood out most was her ability to balance encouragement with genuinely useful guidance. Her comments were perceptive, constructiv...

JC Perry was great to work with, she worked out issues as they came up. I'm new to the process so it was a learning experience. I'm waiting to see the final product on IngramSpark. The Amazon KDP looks great. I will used JC Perry's services again on my second book if she is still doing this type of work.

I worked with James for about six months on a developmental edit and I couldn't be more pleased with the process. I'll note the extended duration was based on my delayed turnaround time for various elements. I found James to be incredibly responsive, and the process was considerably more collaborative than anticipated since I'm based in the U.S. and he's in the U.K. Without question, he made the work stronger - both with the large-scale structural elements as well as with small-scale language...
