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 ...

Working with Julia has been an invaluable experience. Julia provided a clear, insightful, and highly professional evaluation of my novel draft. Her feedback pinpointed the areas that needed development and offered practical guidance that strengthened the manuscript considerably. I was especially impressed by her ability to understand the story’s core and offer focused, actionable recommendations. I highly recommend her editorial services and look forward to working with her again.

Working with Joan was a blast. She was friendly, always helpful, and quick to respond (even with a 7 hour timezone difference). As a first-time Indie author, I've learned so much from her. I can't wait for our next collaboration!

When I finished my book, I thought the hard part was over--until I started the self-publishing journey. Having Shawna as my editor definitely helped ease the anxiety and self-doubt that constantly attacked me as I figured out how to navigate through this overwhelming process. She took the time to understand me as an author, listened, responded timely, and always let me know what to expect next. She not only provided suggestions and constructive feedback on the content of my book but also prep...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

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...

Jonathan Starke is an awesome find: very professional, experienced and encouraging the entire time. I feel like I'm in a giant learning curve and Jonathan was patient with me all the way through, even sharing in my humor over everything. His review and edits to my query letter were spot on, he condensed my draft while keeping my voice intact. This is a very talented, personable fellow who will not let you down, he will be my go-to contact as I continue my writing endeavors. This has been a st...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

Zoe was fantastic to work with! She was responsive, understanding, and so fast with changes! Not only did she finish on time, she completed the work a month early once she learned of some time constraints on my end. I cannot say enough good things...and I hope to use her again soon. :)

Kirsiah was incredibly professional during our interactions before I hired her–when I was still quite indecisive–and once she'd completed her edits on my project. I really appreciated her measured approach. Her feedback on my manuscript clarified so much for me about what was working and what was not. I wouldn't hesitate for one second to send my material to Kirsiah again and hope I get to work with her in the future.

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...

This was my first novel, and I wanted an editor who could handle copy editing, line editing, and proofreading with efficiency, professionalism, and a sharp eye—someone who wouldn’t hesitate to mark up my manuscript. I found exactly that in Jenny. She was always available, clear in her communication, and incredibly generous with her knowledge. Throughout the process, she explained not only her editing choices but also broader writing principles, so I came away a better writer with every rou...

As a first-time author, I was nervous about handing my manuscript to an editor — but working with Brooke turned out to be an amazing experience. Her detailed comments, practical advice, and big-picture insights helped me see my book in a whole new light. She’s quick to respond, easy to talk to, and truly cares about her clients. I’m so grateful for her help!

The depth of Laura’s knowledge of the English language is incredible, she is a true craftswoman. She is supportive, generous, and her genuine enthusiasm for my debut novel has given me a much needed confidence boost! The thought of publishing my novel without Laura’s expert attention makes me break out in a cold sweat. I’m looking forward to working with her again. If you want the best, choose Laura.

I had a wonderful experience working with Jenny Malnick on my memoir, Six Feet Above Rock Bottom. Jenny was professional, responsive, and encouraging throughout the entire process. Her feedback was thoughtful and helpful, and she did a great job respecting my voice while helping strengthen the manuscript. She even completed the project ahead of schedule, which I greatly appreciated. I’m very grateful for her work and would absolutely recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and suppo...
