I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

It was a pleasure to work with Laura. From the start she was enthusiastic and supportive. It is a difficult thing to put your work up for criticism, but from our correspondence I got a good feeling that Laura understood what I was trying to do with my story and would be constructive. The feedback I received was encouraging, with strengths and positive elements clearly articulated and evidenced. The changes she suggested were targeted and helpful; she had clearly understood what I was looking ...

Claire was a delight to work with. She was knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough. It was easy to gain confidence in her work very quickly because of her timely communication and the samples she sent early on. This was an investment for me, as a first time author and one-woman business, and it was well worth the money. My book is a much better product because of Claire's help. She also explained things to me and answered all of my questions. She saved me time by reorganizing my chapters after I ...

Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...

Working with Nathan was a breath of fresh air. After a difficult experience with an editor who repeatedly missed deadlines and made vague promises, Nathan was everything I needed: reliable, communicative, and completely professional. He delivered polished files exactly when he said he would, with no surprises or delays. His calm, thoughtful approach made the process smooth and reassuring. I’m truly grateful for his work — and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for someon...

Working with Shelley transformed my book - and, honestly, transformed how I think about the writing itself. What sets Shelley apart isn't just her editorial eye (which is razor-sharp); it's her ability to see what a book wants to be and to guide you there with clarity, honesty, and real craft. She gave me insights I simply couldn't have arrived at on my own: how to think about structure, how to understand what the reader actually needs, and how every piece has to earn its place if you want t...

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 ...

Hunter was so professional and thorough, and it made the experience painless. This was my first book and my first time ever being involved in this process. He was up front and detailed about the process and, based on my writing sample, took the initiative to structure a set of services that actually met the needs of my work. Hunter was able to get to my work sooner and complete it ahead of schedule. I felt informed and comfortable throughout the entire process, and I truly believe that The In...

Holly provided a developmental edit on my 68,000-word memoir. She delivered a thorough editorial letter plus over 100 inline comments, but what impressed me most was how deeply she engaged with the material. She didn't just fix things, she helped me understand what the book was actually about. Her structural feedback was specific and actionable: where to open, what to move, which characters needed more presence. She identified tense inconsistencies I'd been blind to and gave me grammar lesso...

Billie communicates very clearly, calmed my nervousness as a first-time novelist and finished editing ahead of schedule. Billie was clear about what copyediting means, the service that will be provided; and delivered on said service level and copyedits. I would love to work with Billie again on my next novel.

Roberta is an incredibly talented artist with an undeniable gift for illustration. She was able to take my vision and transform it into something that took my breath away. Her professionalism, collaboration, and communication went above and beyond, and the experience of having her design my cover went completely smoothly as a result. I can't recommend Roberta enough, and I will certainly request her again for future books. Thank you so much, Roberta, for a fabulous experience!

Working with Cathy was an absolute pleasure. She brought sharp editorial instincts to every manuscript, catching inconsistencies we had overlooked while preserving the author's voice throughout. Her turnaround time impressed me, efficient without ever feeling rushed or superficial. What stood out most was her communication style: clear, constructive, and always solution-oriented. When she flagged an issue, she came with suggestions rather than just problems. I would recommend her without hesi...

Kim was incredibly fast, efficient, and provided valuable thought partnership on some grammatical grey areas - such a pleasure to work with!

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

I am a psychologist, and I was very particular in using my intuition when reviewing editors' profiles to see who I thought would be a good fit. Catherine's profile led me to believe she personally invests in what she is doing, caring and motivated to give something to the world through her work. Catherine exceeded my hopes. My original content was strong, but too dense to keep readers engaged. She helped me streamline the book, maintaining it's essence and my voice while making it less taxing...
