I had the pleasure of working with Ed on my children’s STEM book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ed designed and led the illustration effort from start to finish, while always making sure my vision was front and center. The final illustrations are vibrant, engaging, and exactly what I envisioned for young readers. I’d highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an illustrator who can lead a project with professionalism and deliver exceptional work. In fact, I’m already working...

Daniel is the consummate professional and the perfect choice for my project. Not only is his work of the highest quality, but he is also very understanding and responsive and made the exact changes I requested quickly and without fuss. The project came in on time and I am so happy with the results. I highly recommend Daniel for cover, social, and interior design projects (hardcover, ePub, paperback) and plan to engage him again on my next book.

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

Responsive, on time and a willingness to make the book cover look as I imagined it would and then some. Dora has a very helpful and professional attitude. It was so nice working with someone who is responds to my questions and comments, polite and cooperative. Thankful that I worked with her!

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!

This was simply a marvelous experience! The collaboration was just that, collegial and well tailored to my goals. I believe this was the case because Lee proved to be an excellent listener. Lee had an organic feel for editing my document and a nice deft touch that preserved my voice. His precision is simply awe inspiring. He misses nothing. My document included references and details from two languages, he hunted them all down and where necessary, made my document much, much bette...

Tjaša was amazing to work with. She really understood my concept, was adaptive at making minor changes, and helped walk someone unfamiliar with the space (me) through the process.

Mary Ann is such a pleasure to work with. She's highly professional, always on time, and does such beautiful work. I'm so happy with all of the book covers that she's created for me, and I'll definitely be using her services again to complete my series. Thank you so much, Mary Ann! 😊

John was timely, collaborative, and professional throughout the editing process. He gave thoughtful feedback that strengthened the manuscript while preserving my voice. Most importantly, it always felt like he genuinely cared about the book. I’d recommend him to any author looking for not just an editor, but a true partner in the process.

If I ever have to find a new editor because Jenny is unavailable, I will cry. She is the best. Her edits are thorough, competent, and professional. She truly understands her craft. Her comments are always kind, and I love forward to getting my manuscripts back from her. Readers tell me all the time about how my books flow and pull them into the narrative, and I attribute much of this to Jenny's careful eye for repetition, lack of cadence, and sticky spots in the text. You cannot go wrong book...

Robert truly went above and beyond for my project. He fixed up my grammar and punctuation, but also gave tons of general feedback in terms of storyline, plot, my characters, etc, which he did not need to do, but I really, really appreciated it. He gave me insight to new perspectives not just from an editor, but from a reader, as well. If you choose him for your project, you will not regret it.

Dermott was extremely responsive and helpful. This was my first book and I was short of time and experience and the guidance Dermott gave has been invaluable. His developmental edits & comments & suggestions were used by me in the final edits and I would recommend him highly. Crispian

Paul was outstanding in every respect, a true professional whose insight, timeliness, and commitment far exceeded my expectations. He responded quickly to every question, delivered edits ahead of schedule, and consistently went above and beyond. What sets Paul apart is his ability to provide truly objective, constructive feedback that focuses on making the manuscript stronger, whether you agree with every note or not. His thoughtful edits and clear communication made the revision process smoo...

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

It was a pleasure to work with him. He gave some really sound advice, and I would recommend any author trying to get an agent, should go to him and get some help with the query letter. I've already had one bite so the proof is in the pudding! Thanks again, Matt!
