Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

Working with Joan was a blast. She was friendly, always helpful, and quick to respond (even with a 7 hour timezone difference). As a first-time Indie author, I've learned so much from her. I can't wait for our next collaboration!

I handed Daniel a manuscript and a whole lot of nervous energy. He handed back a beautifully formatted book — and, more importantly, a sense of calm I didn't expect. From day one, he provided FAQs and clear guidance that made the process transparent and approachable. His responsiveness and genuine support throughout the project turned what could have been a stressful first self-publishing experience into something I actually enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Working with Jennifer (Donovan) has been an absolute gift. She is thorough, kind, and consistently meets her deadlines, which makes the entire editing process stress-free. What I appreciate most is that she never makes you feel inadequate—instead, she encourages and uplifts you while guiding your story to its best possible form. She doesn’t change your manuscript; she enhances it, drawing out your voice and vision rather than replacing it with her own. Every suggestion feels thoughtful and in...

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.

This was my first time doing a book cover. He was professional and incredibly patient. Best of all--he guided me on the cover design. Other artists I'd approached had just asked my idea for a cover and seemed willing to produce that, no questions asked. He was the only one who, before we even agreed to a contract, pushed me to think about the emotion I'm trying to convey. He politely pushed back on a couple of ideas that would have been mistakes, and explained why those weren't great ideas. T...

Leander proofread my academic book. I found working with him a pleasant part of my publishing process. He made helpful suggestions in terms of prose clarity. He worked conscientiously to maintain a beneficial balance between my personal prose style and his, seeing as we each come from different Anglophone countries.

Working with Nina Bruhns was a fantastic learning experience from beginning to end, and one I would recommend without hesitation to any writer, but especially to debut authors finding their footing. As a first-time novelist, I wasn't entirely sure what professional editorial feedback would look like or how it would feel to receive it. Nina understood exactly where I was in the writing process and met me there with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. She provided two invaluable doc...

I would like to leave a very positive review for Elena V. the copy editor for my project, A Tapestry Complete. This was my first book attempt. I chose Elena for two reasons: First, based on her profile and her experience. The second, out of 5 copy editors, Elena was the only one who came back with an offer and was able to complete the project in my time frame. Elena assisted me with all of my questions. I am not as experienced with technology, and she guided me through the steps to upload an...

Janet was amazing! Her attention to detail and knowledge of CMOS was exceptional! She was thorough and greatly enhanced the quality of the manuscript. I plan to employ her again for my next novel!

Claire didn't just edit my book; She transformed it. Exceptional work! I came to Claire with a manuscript for my book, "UPGRADE," that I was proud of, but I knew it was missing something. It had the science, the data, and the structure, but it lacked the vital 'human' element that makes a book truly connect with a reader. Claire's work was nothing short of transformative. She took my solid draft and elevated it into a polished, professional, and deeply engaging book that I am now thrilled to...

I can’t really put into words how grateful I am to have worked with Yuliia & her team. From the very beginning, she was prompt, professional, and incredibly attentive to my vision- but what truly amazed me was how she took that vision and elevated it far beyond what I could have imagined. The artwork is absolutely stunning, full of life, emotion, and detail. I felt completely included and updated throughout every step of the process, which made the entire experience feel collaborative and str...

Working with John was a fantastic experience. He brought a sharp editorial eye, offered thoughtful suggestions without changing my voice, and truly helped elevate my manuscript. His attention to detail, professionalism, and understanding of story structure made this a smooth and rewarding collaboration. Highly recommend.

I can't imagine a better development editor than Sandra. She is uber-talented, offers very thoughtful suggestions which are always spot-on, and follows up when I don't respond right away. I don't know how I got so lucky to be matched with her but I'm very glad I selected her from the list of names. Thank you, Sandra!
