Joy was a "joy" to work with. She was professional, fast, thorough, and brought great insights to the project. She went above and beyond the scope of work. I highly recommend her.

Working with Matthew was a terrific experience. He was communicative, professional, and deeply attentive to detail. I always felt he was invested in the success of my project, and he brought valuable knowledge from his background that helped him maintain sharp focus on the particulars of mine. Matthew caught tiny errors that had eluded me multiple times, offered suggestions for clarity with my audience in mind, and ensured everything aligned with my publisher’s expectations. He delivered ahea...

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

Collette's work on my book interior went way beyond my expectations! It is such a beautiful book thanks to her work. It's better than I imagined it could be. She was great to work with. I'm definitely going to use her for more books in the future.

I’ve worked with Helen a handful of times on query critique, submission packet feedback, first chapter critique, and this time guidance on the effectiveness of my prologue and every time she’s given me actionable feedback, wonderful and kind critique, and an overall amazing experience. She is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and always has a quick turnaround. I always think back to the first time I worked with her on a query critique for my first book. My query letter (like my first book)...

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 Maria Scala is the best decision I've made as an author. Over the past six months, Maria has guided me through developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading across three separate projects. By the end of this journey, I think she knew my memoir better than me! Maria challenged me when I needed it, encouraged me when self-doubt crept in, and helped shape a deeply personal story with expertise, professionalism, skill, and compassion. Her edits always elevated the manuscr...

Megan created a cover that presents the suspense of my novel in a unique way, while also capturing a secret of the story. Megan is such a great communicator and I was never left wondering where we were in the project. I was proud to include her name as the designer of my cover in my published novel.

This is my first book so I had manner lessons to learn that negatively impacted my efficiency. Chandler was kind, patient, and prompt. My communication style was readily adapted by Chandler. My book required a design that could hold the heaviness of the subject matter with room for the reader to breathe. Chandler understood this and designed a book that will hold the reader with care and compassion simply based on the white space, font style and size, and pacing of the manuscript. On my own, ...

Erin was tremendously helpful. Her very constructive criticism is serious, and because she offers feedback from the POV of both a professional editor/writer, and 12 year old reader (not all editors can do this well), the edit is invaluable. She enabled me to see what wasn’t working, why, and what to do about it. Will be returning to Erin for more help soon.

Ben Galley is an example of an author who deserves the spotlight. He us very thoughtful, answers questions no matter how dumb they might be, and provides insight and clarity into how you can improve. I've loved every minute of my time working with him and hope to see him excel in all things. Highly recommend!

Travis was absolutely GOLDEN throughout this entire process! His intuitive touch brought a level of depth to my novel that I didn’t even know was possible. Every step of the way, he demonstrated incredible patience, integrity, and true professionalism. I can’t recommend him highly enough—if you’re ready to take your work to the next level, Travis is the man. 👏🏿👏🏿

Working with Jenny was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. She brought a rare combination of precision and warmth to my memoir — the kind of editor who clearly loves both language and the people behind it. She was meticulous without being heavy-handed, catching the kinds of details that are easy to overlook when you've been living inside your own story for years. Tense consistency was a particular area where she pushed me — gently but persistently — and honestly, I was a littl...

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 ...

Tee is so thorough and kind in her feedback to writers. I felt like she valued my project as much as I did and gave excellent feedback for improving and making it stronger. It was a real joy to collaborate with her and I will definitely be hiring her again!
