Jo is a real professional. Her help getting my project of designing a children's picture book was just what I needed. As first time children's book author and illustrator, there were many components that required more coordinating than I had anticipated. The project was beyond my capabilites, which is where Jo' expertise was so helpful. In the process, she pointed out things that needed adjustment to my copy and art. We had to rework some pages to fit the requirements of the printing company ...

It was a pleasure to work with Sophia on this project. She completed a manuscript assessment for my novel, and her feedback was invaluable. The assessment was thoughtful, detailed, and full of insights that instantly resonated — everything seemed to click into place. Sophia delivered the report ahead of the agreed deadline and kept me updated throughout the process. She was generous with both her time and expertise, and I truly appreciated her care and clarity. I would absolutely recommend So...

Shannon was such a joy to work with! She poured so much heart and creativity into my book, and her illustrations brought the story to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. She was professional, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and fun. I especially appreciated how invested she was in the story itself—it truly felt like a collaboration. I’m so grateful for her talent and care, and I would absolutely work with her again!

Chandler was incredible to work with while editing my self-help book proposal. She was extremely thoughtful in both her written feedback on the document and in her communication with me throughout the process. I learned so much from her. She took the time to make sure I truly understood her edits and comments rather than just making changes and moving on. She also made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the process. Writing a book proposal can feel overwhelming, and her support, clarity, and enc...

My initial thoughts after receiving Miriam's feedback on my query package? Wow. The entire experience was so much more than I expected. She went above and beyond to make my query letter shine. I deeply appreciated her editorial suggestions and sharp storytelling instinct, which helped me sharpen my manuscript far beyond the first 50 pages. She's direct and honest, but also supportive and encouraging. I felt like she grasped the entire project and gave comprehensive feedback across all piece...

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

Daniel was absolutely phenomenal! His attention to detail was extraordinary, and he went above and beyond to answer questions and deliver stellar edits. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and feel that he significantly elevated our manuscript. He is collaborative, upbeat, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and punctual. We would highly recommend working with Daniel!!

I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy. Her developmental feedback was very detailed, thoughtful, and constructive. She has a real talent for identifying both what’s working in a story and where it can be strengthened, and she communicates her insights in a clear and encouraging way. She helped me see my work from a completely fresh perspective. Her suggestions felt both practical and inspiring, giving me a clear path forward while still respecting my voice as a writer. I’d highly r...

Amelia exceeded expectations in every way. This book is better in measurable ways because of her. She brought out things in me that were unexpected and incredibly valuable to this project.

Katie is a fantastic editor. She sees both the forest and the trees, with a keen eye towards purpose. As a writer, I sometimes get so bogged down in the details of a piece that I struggle to zoom out. Katie identified any and all narrative inconsistencies and ambiguities. My writing is more compelling and persuasive because of her edits. She also has a sharp eye for grammar or wording issues and provides great suggestions. She managed to do all of this on an exceedingly tight timeline. I cann...

Claire is a writer's dream editor and proofreader. Her thorough attention to detail and responsiveness are reassuring for new authors like myself who value an expert's guidance and support. She also clearly read every word for meaning and clarity in addition to providing thoughtful comments and questions. I would work with her again without hesitation!

I had an amazing experience working with Jonathan. He went far beyond what I expected, not only delivering a thorough, high‑quality proofread, but also offering insightful notes throughout my entire manuscript. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and genuinely helpful. He was incredibly responsive, kept me updated during the process, and even finished ahead of schedule. I couldn’t be happier with the result, and I can’t wait to work with him again. Highly recommended.

Chet was a professional talent on so many levels and I could not have had a better experience. He made me feel safe and secure with our discussions, navigated me through the process, and offered very strategic advice and/or edits without making me feel pressured. We were able to have a warm yet professional relationship too which I think is very important for the end product. Chet is a strong recommend - his talent is incredible and without him, would not have had the confidence to bring thi...

As a writer, our stories are precious to us. Reaching out to someone to bring that to life can be difficult for the artist. We have expectations, visions already in place. Rachel not only met my vision, but she exceeded it. These are not just words. She is extremely talented and a joy to work with. I would not only recommend her to everyone and anyone, but also come back again and again.

Beau's feedback was exactly what I needed to polish my novel. I was mainly looking for help sharpening some of my themes, as well as validation for the way I handled a diverse cast. Beau understood exactly what was needed and provided comments that made the story better, with enough explanation to be clear without going overboard. They also have a great ear for dialogue and pointed out places that were a bit awkward or clunky. All while being a great cheerleader throughout. I 100% recommend...
