The experience has taught me how essential it is to have your work reviewed by a professional editor. I wish I had done this for previous projects. The insight Susan gave me awakened me and challenged me. It helped me develop as a writer. It was truly a blessing.

Amanda was simply a pleasure to work with. I had a very tight—arguably unreasonable—timeline, and she didn’t hesitate to take on the challenge. She delivered thoughtful, insightful feedback that significantly improved the clarity, tone, and flow of my children’s storybook. What stood out most was her attention to detail and her genuine care for the project. She not only corrected grammar and phrasing, but also offered suggestions that strengthened the storytelling and made the narrative more ...

I worked with V on a query package consultation. At the time, I had thirty rejections and one full request. The very first reply after I integrated V's feedback was a full request from a dream agent—someone I never thought I'd even have a chance with. The pricing was extremely reasonable (if anything, I expected to pay more) for everything I got out of it. If I don't get agented on this manuscript, I intend to hire V before I send out a single query on my next project. Cannot recommend them h...

Kara provided thoughtful, high-quality feedback with real editorial insight. She was professional and clear throughout the project, and her notes were constructive and actionable—not just opinions, but guidance I could apply immediately. She elevated the manuscript while retaining my voice, which made the process both productive and reassuring.

Siân copyedited my manuscript using CMOS and provided additional line/developmental notes as necessary. She was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional throughout the process. Her excitement about my initial draft made me excited to work with her! Siân's suggestions and comments pointed out things in my manuscript to strengthen the story, characters, and the impact of key chapters. She asked about my specific concerns before starting, and in her feedback, she provided comments directly re...

Lisa is amazing and it was the easiest decision to have her do the cover for my second book after she did the first. Highly recommend!

I used David for a developmental edit, and the feedback he produced was fantastic. He identified numerous issues I was already aware of, but also highlighted others I hadn’t been able to spot myself. I knew my draft wasn’t where I wanted it to be, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. David summarised the problems brilliantly and provided a clear structure I can use to polish my manuscript to a professional level. His feedback was extensive, fair, and constructive, never nitpicking. I would strongly r...

My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

John was timely, collaborative, and professional throughout the editing process. He gave thoughtful feedback that strengthened the manuscript while preserving my voice. Most importantly, it always felt like he genuinely cared about the book. I’d recommend him to any author looking for not just an editor, but a true partner in the process.

Working with Laura was an incredible experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation. She completed a developmental edit of my psychological thriller and provided thoughtful, detailed, chapter-by-chapter feedback that strengthened every aspect of the manuscript. Her comments were insightful, encouraging, and always focused on helping me make the story the best it could be. One of the things I appreciated most was our follow-up phone call. Laura took the time to walk through her sugg...

Megan was a delight to work with, making the entire design process simple and painless. My book looks fantastic, and I'm very pleased with the results! Megan provided excellent communication, and her turnaround time on everything, including changes, was speedy. Highly recommend her!!

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

Rachel is wonderfully friendly, professional, creative, and highly talented. She works hard to bring your vision to life in a way that is eye catching and aesthetically pleasing and truly captures the essence of your book. She was enthusiastic, helpful, and offered excellent suggestions throughout the process. She was an absolute dream to work with, and I would love to collaborate with her again on my next book. I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

Sharon was an absolute delight to work with. She kept me updated as she worked through my manuscript and was available for amendment feedback as well. Her comments were constructive and thoughtfully worded – something I really appreciated as a first-time author. As well as grammar, punctuation and word usage, she helped tighten up and improve the flow of my prose, and also pointed out where things got a little vague. I feel so much more confident in my writing thanks to her insight and I will...

James is a master of his craft and so easy to work with. What I loved most about James was he brought some fantastic ideas for me to go through and see which I ultimately loved and said let's go with it because it's unique and will stand out. I absolutely have nothing bad to say about James as he was friendly, on schedule and always brought ideas which made it easy for me to make decisions vice trying to guide him to design something that I'm not qualified to do. Will I work with him aga...
