Excellent! Eli provided helpful advice and suggestions in a most positive way. Highly recommend him to everyone!

Margarita has an amazing eye for design and was very professional and timely getting the piece done. She was open to suggestions and incorporated them well into the final cover. I am thrilled with my cover design and had a great experience working with her!

Adrienne’s knowledge and background in Young Adult fiction provided me with so much valuable feedback. She delivered her notes on time, and her notes were thorough and detailed—honest, constructive, and never sugar-coated, which I really appreciated. As an introvert, I often find online interactions a bit overwhelming, but Adrienne’s approach put me at ease right away. She was professional yet approachable, and never pushy. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to an...

Lucy was lovely to work with. She identified a core question straight away that needed to be answered while helping me with my book proposal. She was responsive and engaged and her helpful questions allowed me to find the focus of the proposal and polish it from there. I'm so grateful for her input and help!

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

I absolutely loved working with Andrew on my project. His feedback, review, and suggestions were all dead on the things that I had not even noticed. He was concise. He had explained everything thoroughly giving me the bigger picture of why his suggestions and or feedback would improve a section or chapter in my novel. I highly recommend Andrew and his professionalism and hope to be able to use him again in my next project.

Working with Kirsiah was an absolute pleasure. Her developmental feedback was sharp, insightful, and deeply respectful of my voice and vision. She offered thoughtful suggestions that elevated the pacing, structure, and emotional resonance of my novel. If you're looking for an editor who brings both heart and expertise to the process, I highly recommend Kirsiah.

I had a picture book I have been working on for some time. I have had recent interest from editors but asking for changes in the ending which I struggled with. Julie offered wonderful revision suggestions that I think will make this project desirable for acquisition.

Sarah is an absolute professional and incredibly talented designer. She designed both my book cover and interior, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Her cover design perfectly captured the essence of my book and has received countless compliments from readers. The interior layout is clean, professional, and highly readable. Beyond her design skills, Sarah was wonderful to work with - responsive, patient with revisions, and genuinely invested in making my vision come to life. She deli...

Kristen was phenomenal to work with. She helped guide me through the process and never complained when I would ask additional questions. I look forward to working with her again.

Paul was outstanding in every respect, a true professional whose insight, timeliness, and commitment far exceeded my expectations. He responded quickly to every question, delivered edits ahead of schedule, and consistently went above and beyond. What sets Paul apart is his ability to provide truly objective, constructive feedback that focuses on making the manuscript stronger, whether you agree with every note or not. His thoughtful edits and clear communication made the revision process smoo...

Lyndsey Smith did an excellent job reviewing my manuscript, delivering her feedback in a very timely manner. Her focus on word choice, grammar, and syntax was exceptional. Thanks to her thorough work, I feel confident that my final manuscript is ready for submission to agents and publishing houses. She even caught several errors that I would have never noticed on my own. I am extremely pleased with her services and confident that I made the right choice in hiring her. Thanks, Lyndsey. Giul...

Connor was very professional and helpful. Highly recommend him.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the opportunity to work with Bron across three separate contracts as my book coach and editor. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with her kindness and patience, made every step of the process both productive and encouraging. Bron has a remarkable ability to offer clear, insightful guidance that consistently elevated my work. She was also highly responsive and reliably met every deadline, making her not only a skilled professional but a t...
