Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

Collaborating with Sarah to edit my first novel was one of the best decisions I've made throughout this process. She was a pleasure to work with and I learned so much through her thoughtful comments. I would work with her again on future projects and highly recommend her.

Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

I worked with Holly on my memoir, a book about a tough childhood and building a business from the ground up, and she was fantastic. Detail-oriented to a level I didn't know existed. She caught everything at the line level, but she also saw the bigger picture: the conceptual storytelling, the arc, where the narrative needed to breathe and where it needed to move. I ended up rewriting large sections of the manuscript based on her recommendations. Every one of those rewrites made the final produ...

Exceptional Editorial Partner for Project With Tight Deadlines Working with Cynthia on The DAF Revolution: Making a Difference in Our Modern World was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This was a high-profile, content-heavy nonfiction book involving financial, legal, and philanthropic subject matter, and Cynthia handled it with clarity, precision, and editorial excellence. She brought a keen eye for structure, ensured consistency of tone and terminology, and asked smart questi...

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

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 had a very positive experience working with Cathy. Her feedback was thoughtful, careful, and genuinely improved the clarity and structure of my manuscript. She was especially strong at identifying repetition and helping me tighten the work without losing my voice or the emotional tone of the book. Communication was clear and respectful throughout the process, and her notes showed real engagement with the material rather than surface-level edits. I always felt that the manuscript was being h...

With Jennifer, I was given insights from a professional point of view and from a reader's point of view, which allows me to understand, from a 360-degree view, what the book feels like for those who discover it. On the editing side, Jennifer was thorough and improved the flow of the text, in perfect compliance to English rules. An explanatory comment, which made it easy to choose to keep it or not always met any significant change. Reading Blue Butterfly after her work felt harmonious, an...

I worked with V on a query package consultation. At the time, I had thirty rejections and one full request. The very first reply after I integrated V's feedback was a full request from a dream agent—someone I never thought I'd even have a chance with. The pricing was extremely reasonable (if anything, I expected to pay more) for everything I got out of it. If I don't get agented on this manuscript, I intend to hire V before I send out a single query on my next project. Cannot recommend them h...

O. Marie was the consummate professional. She delivered immaculate work product in a timely manner. She was available to discuss our project as we needed and did multiple turns of the book. I was highly recommend her services.

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.

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.
