Mine was a difficult project - review the sequel of an unpublished first novel. One other person described the project as 'the literary equivalent of surgical separation of Siamese twins'. That said, I was blown away by the quality of the output I got from Elayne. Her comments were accurate, insightful, helpgul and nuanced. I have worked with a number of editors, and while all have been good, this was a different level. It was extremely helpful to get the perspective of a multiply-published...

I have really enjoyed working with Laura. The feedback I received was extremely detailed, insightful and constructive, while also being kind and encouraging. Her critique gave me a far clearer understanding of picture book structure and the editing process, as well as valuable direction on how to strengthen my current manuscript. Laura was incredibly responsive throughout the process, with fast replies, regular updates and thoughtful communication which made me feel very reassured as someone...

Eleanor has been extremely helpful with my book marketing efforts, and I cant recommend her highly enough. She is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter, operates at a high professional level, and responds quickly. Her advice has helped me increase sales already on Amazon, and I will continue to use her for any of my book marketing needs.

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

I enjoyed working with Jamie so much the first time, I have retained for a second session. I found her feedback invaluable and very helpful for this first time author.

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

Kelly was a dream come true. Professional, thorough, and thoughtful. She made my voice stronger and clearer, and I also learned a lot working with her. Hiring a stranger feels like a bit of a gamble, but Kelly was a win and exceeded every expectation. I’m impressed by her effort and care and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

As a first-time author writing a quasi-memoir through my essays, I needed more than just technical editing—I needed someone who could understand my vision and help me bring these deeply personal stories to life. Mika exceeded every expectation. From our very first interaction, Mika took the time to truly understand what I was trying to accomplish with my book. Writing personal essays is an incredibly vulnerable process, and Mika created a supportive environment that made me feel empowered ra...

Abbie was such a pleasure to work with: thorough, communicative, prompt, and so kind. Her feedback was incredibly clear with some really astute observations and recommendations that absolutely have improved the quality of my manuscript. Her kind works and clear passion for the work definitely gave me a boost in confidence and made me excited to get stuck back into making the necessary tweaks. Her experience in the industry was incredibly valuable also, giving me fantastic advice that I had no...

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 Christina has been a truly wonderful experience. She handled the project with professionalism and delivered exactly what we had agreed, while the quality of her illustrations exceeded all my expectations. Her work is full of life and perfectly captures the spirit of the stories. The value of her contribution goes far beyond the payment, as her dedication and passion are evident in every detail. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, clear, and always supportive, makin...

Laura's feedback and attention to detail have been invaluable in helping me progress my novel towards publication. She is thorough and meticulous in her editing, and always professional, encouraging and friendly in our interactions. I have appreciated her prompt and detailed responses and her very useful suggestions. I highly recommend Laura for her sensitivity, expertise and experience.

Working with Carol Trow was the single best decision I made for my book. As an inexperienced author, I needed more than just an editor; I needed a guide, and Carol was exceptional in every way. Her critiques were not only professional and objective but truly invaluable. She has a rare talent for seeing the heart of a project and knowing exactly how to make it stronger. Her patience was remarkable, but what stood out most was her genuine concern, not just for the success of my book, but for my...

Vincent was brilliant. He was meticulous and thorough. He eye for detail was extraordinary. He was also responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. He completed everything early. My book was much better for having Vincent involved. I cannot imagine his not being involved on my next book. Really a great experience. Thanks!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better editor. From the beginning, I was looking for someone experienced with horror and also mindful of pricing, and he exceeded my expectations on both fronts. He was transparent and thoughtful with every batch he returned, offering honest feedback while remaining receptive to my revisions. As this was the first book I’ve ever written, it meant a great deal to have someone so reliable and supportive throughout the entire process. I would absolutely love ...
