Patience was a joy to work with. She provided wonderful notes, encouragement, and engagement throughout. I highly recommend working with her; you will not regret it. :)

Laurie Bernstein is an outstanding editor and professional in the publishing industry. Her credentials are beyond excellent, and she brings her authentic expertise to the work. She is meticulous, patient, and gracious. I handed her a manuscript that was riddled with errors and duplications. She sent me back a manuscript that provided clear directions for possible improvements, encouraged me to think deeply about my message and story, and to keep working toward excellence. Thanks to Laurie. I ...

My new website looks great and performs all of the requirements I needed. Thanks Ioana!

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Working with Evelina was once again a thoroughly professional experience from start to finish. Communication was clear, reliable, and responsive throughout the entire project. Every deliverable arrived on time and in exactly the quality I had hoped for — both the cover design and the full interior layout were executed with great attention to detail and a strong sense of craftsmanship. Even multiple rounds of corrections were handled with patience, precision, and a consistently positive attitu...

Terrific working with Arnie! He's provided invaluable advice on improving my manuscript. He pointed me to much needed research sites. He's got a great sense of humor, is patient, and encouraging. In short, he is helping me achieve my goal of completing my book and hopefully getting it published!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ed working on my novel. Not only did he pick up on important grammatical issues which would benefit from alteration, but he also showed an extremely thorough engagement with my novel’s plot and character development. His comments were always insightful and supportive, and I found myself agreeing with nearly all of his suggestions. In the process of going through his edits, I felt I learnt new ways to improve my writing. His overall report also demonstra...

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

Stephanie was incredible to work with from start to finish! She was timely, communicative, and made the entire process feel approachable, which was especially important to me as a first-time author navigating professional editing. From the very beginning, she put me at ease and created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and being honest about my concerns. Her feedback was extremely informative and insightful. She didn’t just point out issues, she explained them in a way...

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work with such care that I quickly knew she was the right person to help preserve my voice while enhancing the manuscript. What initially felt like a daunting process became something I genuinely enjoyed than...

Working with Josiah was an exceptional experience. As a Latino author writing a novel deeply rooted in Mesoamerican mythology and cultural perspectives, I was genuinely impressed by how well he understood my world, my characters, and the voice behind the story. He approached the manuscript with respect, clarity, and a remarkable ability to read not just the text, but the cultural heartbeat beneath it. His feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and delivered with kindness. He identified struct...

Exceptional talent, impeccable professionalism, and a truly wonderful person to work with. Louise took my book from manuscript to masterpiece with remarkable attention to detail and artistic excellence. She consistently went above and beyond, delivering outstanding work on time while making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her creativity, dedication, and kindness made a lasting impression on me. Without hesitation, I can say that Louise exceeded every expectation. She is a rare gem ...

Pamela did an outstanding job translating my novel and this was on time and at a very competitive price. I used a lot of idiomatic phrases involving comedy and she did an excellent job finding the right German expression. She also translated the metadata on top. I thoroughly recommend working with Pamela and I will most certainly work with her again if I need another novel translated into German.

My co-author and I had never worked with an illustrator before, so we came into the project with a lot of apprehension. It's a challenge when you're not sure what to expect and are in unfamiliar territory. What drew us to Claudia was not only her amazing artistic abilities, but most of all, her bio and other reviews mentioned her patience. The reviews did not lie. We needed a lot of guidance through this process and Claudia delivered that, along with the most stunning illustrations which real...

Working with Sarah was one of the most important decisions I made in bringing this book to life. She read my manuscript with honesty, precision, and genuine care — not just as an editor but as someone who understood what I was trying to say and helped me say it better. Her notes were direct, specific, and always in service of the story. She never tried to change my voice. She just helped me find where it was strongest and pushed me toward that. If you are serious about your book and want some...
