Lia was an incredible editor and co-creator to work with to bring my first spiritual awakening book into form. Since I was very new to structuring a book, Lia guided me immensely through the developmental edit to make my manuscript more robust, impactful, succinct and flowing. She offered super helpful feedback on where to clarify parts, bring my storytelling more to life, add examples and link each chapter so it all weaves together seamlessly. Through implementing her feedback, I found mysel...

Matt was a pro throughout his editorial assessment of my sci-fi novel. His communication about what to expect, timeline, what he needed from me, etc. was all prompt and clear. He didn't sugarcoat his critical feedback, but he wasn't mean about my work's shortcomings, either. All in all, it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the opportunity to work with Bron across three separate contracts as my book coach and editor. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with her kindness and patience, made every step of the process both productive and encouraging. Bron has a remarkable ability to offer clear, insightful guidance that consistently elevated my work. She was also highly responsive and reliably met every deadline, making her not only a skilled professional but a t...

Hannah was awesome! I received a 55 page PDF with detailed notes on every single chapter in my book. On top of that I received a notes throughout the entire manuscript. The amount of stuff I learned throughout my interactions from Hannah will last with me forever. Honestly, the work she sent back to me was a master class in development editing.

Working with Jeremy on The DAF Revolution: Making a Difference in Our Modern World was an excellent experience. He brought professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise that ensured the book was produced to the highest standard. Jeremy was responsive throughout the process, offered thoughtful guidance, and elevated the final product. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any author and fully intend to hire Jeremy again for future projects without hesitation.

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Working with Lucy was an incredible experience from start to finish. She completed my book on time, and her attention to detail truly elevated the entire manuscript. Her edits were thoughtful, precise, and always respectful of my voice, helping the story feel stronger and more cohesive without losing what made it mine. Beyond the edits themselves, the style sheet Lucy created was especially helpful as it aided me in seeing how my words were being interpreted! I’m so grateful for her profes...

Christine was amazing to work with. we developed a very thought out and well written book. i look forward to working together again

Incredibly detailed, thorough and thoughtful. She has transformed my book and I am eternally grateful. The level of attention to every word is magnificent. I highly recommend Elisabeth for copy editing and developmental editing. Excellent communication and care at every level. Smart, perceptive and professional. Thank you Elisabeth!

Working with Lisa has been the most valuable step in bringing my book to a truly professional level. As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what made a book stand out and get to a professional level. Lisa guided me through that learning curve with clarity, expertise, and genuine care. Her feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and delivered with a perfect balance of honesty and encouragement. She didn’t just point out what could be improved; she helped me understand why it mattered, offering insi...

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

Sofie is a truly exceptional artist. She has created my book cover (KDP and IS) and formatted the manuscript of my debut novel to a very high standard. Luckily for me she's an expert at guiding novices through the whole process, and she handled all my daft questions with professionalism, whilst also being friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble and I can't thank her enough. Regarding her talent - wow! She's a bundle of creative energy who has so many ideas, all of which ar...

Franzi was wonderful to work with. She was so professional and communicative. I appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into helping us not just translate the text, but conceptualize this books in a different language and culture.

Sharon was an absolute delight to work with. She kept me updated as she worked through my manuscript and was available for amendment feedback as well. Her comments were constructive and thoughtfully worded – something I really appreciated as a first-time author. As well as grammar, punctuation and word usage, she helped tighten up and improve the flow of my prose, and also pointed out where things got a little vague. I feel so much more confident in my writing thanks to her insight and I will...

I was very grateful to find Pamela who provided efficient, quality translation for my fiction book from English to German. She understood the quirk of my writing and was able to provide parallel meanings that didn't interfere with the impact of the storyline. I look forward to working with her again for other short stories collections.
