Shannon was such a joy to work with! She poured so much heart and creativity into my book, and her illustrations brought the story to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She was professional, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and fun. I especially appreciated how invested she was in the story itself—it truly felt like a collaboration. I’m so grateful for her talent and care, and I would absolutely work with her again!

Hannah was a pleasure to work with. She completed the work ahead of schedule and her developmental edit of my novel was thorough and honest. Hannah made it clear how I can improve the structure and pacing of my story and how to strengthen my main characters and deepen the reader’s connection to them. Her suggestions were insightful and fit perfectly with what I am trying to achieve. My book will be so much stronger after her edit. I have learnt so much from Hannah and highly recommend her.

I cannot express enough that working with Lisa was the best decision I could have made for my father’s book. She brought precision, compassion, and true editorial mastery to every page. Lisa didn’t just edit the manuscript — she elevated it. She understood the heart of the story, protected my dad’s voice, and shaped the book into something I am deeply proud to publish. Her instincts were excellent, and she was spot-on with every detail. Her professionalism, communication, and genuine care ar...

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Zuza is a tremendous illustrator and a true creative partner. She listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and works with you to ensure every detail aligns with your vision. She approached my project with patience and professionalism, willing to revisit and refine ideas until they are exactly right. What began as a simple book cover commission grew into a larger collaboration that included a beautifully detailed map and several illustrations. Zuza helped me understand potential formatting...

Wow. I highly recommend Lee. I've just finished working with him on my first book. He's top notch. Very creative, professional, highly skilled, talented, positive, helpful, and encouraging too. I really enjoyed the process of working with him. He went above and beyond giving me helpful tips since he's published some books himself, and he patiently worked with me as I try to fit publishing my first book; Capacity, Escape Your Invisible Limits, into my busy life. The cover that Lee designed is ...

Brianna's response to my request was the first indication of her level of professionalism and experience. She suggested that due to where I was in my writing process (I had completed a manuscript), I would likely benefit from a developmental edit. I was entirely new to this process so it was extremely helpful to receive this information. Brianna's process included an initial zoom meeting so we could determine if we would work well together, and from the beginning I liked her demeanor, directn...

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Charles for his excellent work in helping to revise my manuscript. His qualities are many: He was very friendly and personal, which made the communication enjoyable. Of course, his editorial expertise was key to the task at hand. I learned much about writing from him. His suggestions were always relevant, helpful, and challenging too! The memos and document exchanges were very timely, which allowed me to stay on schedule. Charles expressed a keen inte...

I asked Justin to review my manuscript from an agent’s perspective and to identify its structural weaknesses. He was able to pinpoint several concrete issues, giving me clear and actionable starting points for revision. His assessment was delivered within the agreed timeframe and communicated with clarity and precision. The tone was realistic yet encouraging. Thank you.

Working with Kirsiah was an absolute pleasure. Her developmental feedback was sharp, insightful, and deeply respectful of my voice and vision. She offered thoughtful suggestions that elevated the pacing, structure, and emotional resonance of my novel. If you're looking for an editor who brings both heart and expertise to the process, I highly recommend Kirsiah.

I hired Bonnie for both copy editing and interior book design for my nonfiction book, Stop Stealing From Yourself, and I'm glad I found someone who does both well. Bonnie was timely, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. She answered my questions clearly and never made me feel like I was asking too much. What stood out most was her willingness to accommodate small changes even toward the end of our contract — that kind of flexibility matters when you're finalizing ...

Tina did a fantastic job copyediting my manuscript. She caught all the things I hoped she would—and plenty I didn’t even realize needed fixing. Her suggestions were thoughtful and clear, and she had a great eye for flow, clarity, and consistency, especially when it came to tone and character. I felt like she really respected my voice while helping me tighten and polish the story. I’m so happy with the result and would absolutely work with her again.

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.

Jackie was amazing at developmental editing, really helping me spot my mistakes as a new writer. I genuinely appreciate her expert feedback as an editor for my development. I would suggest her to anyone based on the work she's done with me so far, even though we haven't completed the entire book yet.

Pauline was wonderful and completed the project on time. The illustrations were better than I could ever imagine. She is a wonderful artist who brought my book to life. Can't thank her enough!
