I feel very grateful to have been able to work with someone as experienced as Kathy. She brings deep professional insight across all levels of the writing process, and has the ability to really laser in on the story, its issues, and the potential resolutions. In short, the feedback she gave me has catapulted my project forward so that I feel much more in the drivers seat of my story, and my writing. I am chomping at the bit to continue implementing her editorial suggestions. And in case you ...

Jennifer has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly prompt with her responses, and as a first‑time writer, that meant a lot to me. I was initially worried about feeling discouraged, but Jennifer approached my work with such professionalism and respect for where I am in my writing journey. Her feedback was, supportive, and genuinely helpful. She’s very easy to talk to, and offers ongoing communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her to any writer looking for an editor. Th...

A deeply embodied, life-altering experience. Imagine an author finding it hard to express this experience in words!! That's how powerful it has been. I'm so grateful to Kate in helping me to shape my very first memoir, holding my story with so much compassion and reflecting back to me what I am capable of. I would absolutely do it all over again.

If what you're looking for is a professional, experienced, smart, articulate, sincere editor to join you on the journey of your work, then Jackson is your guy. Excellent across the board. Exceeded my expectations in ways I wasn't expecting. And that, dear writer friends, was the kind of author fuel I was hoping for. Terrific editor and person. Just do it.

Jo is a real professional. Her help getting my project of designing a children's picture book was just what I needed. As first time children's book author and illustrator, there were many components that required more coordinating than I had anticipated. The project was beyond my capabilites, which is where Jo' expertise was so helpful. In the process, she pointed out things that needed adjustment to my copy and art. We had to rework some pages to fit the requirements of the printing company ...

I initially reached out to Julie because of her experience with military history and religion—both critical aspects of my book—but was soon struck by her attention to detail across the breadth of my story’s concerns. I felt at once as though a fellow traveler had happened across my dig-site, understood what I was up to, and pitched in to help. One moment I’m brushing away dirt and debris from some bewildering artifact, extracting those pieces that might otherwise comprise the whole, and the n...

Working with Eva has been outstanding. Her feedback is precise, insightful, and always grounded in a deeply invested and intelligent understanding of the manuscript. She brings clarity to structure, tone, and theme, and her guidance has consistently elevated my work. Professional, reliable, and genuinely inspiring—an excellent editor of very high caliber, and craft. I highly recommend.

Amelia exceeded expectations in every way. This book is better in measurable ways because of her. She brought out things in me that were unexpected and incredibly valuable to this project.

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

Nina is FABULOUS. She is excels at communicating and gives thoughtful feedback. With her comprehensive edit of my novel, she never tried changing my voice or the structure of the story. She only made it stronger! I can't recommend working with Nina enough!

Working with Rebecca was an absolute game-changer for me and I am so grateful for the time she spent tightening up my manuscript. I'd been stuck for a while and needed a professional set of eyes to make sure I was headed in the right direction. She was clear, positive, and incredibly insightful. She helped me identify plot holes, strengthen character arcs, and tighten emotional threads that made the story so much stronger. She told me exactly what was (and wasn't) working while still being in...

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

An excellent collaboration with a very fair and reasonable introductory offer for new writers. Open conversation for guidance on the commission and quick to respond. A professional and highly satisfying experience with a fantastic end result. Thank you Carolina for helping me take first steps confidently in the world of self publishing and being a kind consummate professional making me feel comfortable in what can be anxious times.

Shannon was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job with the developmental edits and copy edits for my debut novel. The style sheet was spot on, the developmental feedback was thorough and extremely helpful in identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, and her copy editing seemed to catch every one of my numerous grammatical mistakes. I've already booked my second book with her for later this year!

I really enjoyed working with James. He was incredibly responsive and guided me through each step, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out, especially as this was my first book! He really helped bring my vision to life and I would definitely work with him again.
