Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Working with Nina has been such a positive and productive experirence. Her knowledge and professionalism was of great benefit for me. It's my first time going through a process such as this, and it's been quite productive and beneficial. I appreciate her partnership in this process and will not hesitate to engage with her again, should the need arise.

With Jennifer, I was given insights from a professional point of view and from a reader's point of view, which allows me to understand, from a 360-degree view, what the book feels like for those who discover it. On the editing side, Jennifer was thorough and improved the flow of the text, in perfect compliance to English rules. An explanatory comment, which made it easy to choose to keep it or not always met any significant change. Reading Blue Butterfly after her work felt harmonious, an...

Megan was an absolute joy to work with! My project was a complicated one with lots of quotes, images, and even recipes. It needed to have the look of a vintage book, which she accomplished with embellished letters for the beginning of each chapter as well as antiquing for the page backgrounds. She was professional in every way, patient with corrections, and punctual with my deadline. I have another book in preparation and I look forward to working with her again. Great job all the way around!

I loved working with Margarita! She was fast, responsive, enthusiastic, and created amazing cover art. It was perfect. I will definitely use her again!

Taylor is very professional, with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, she gave life to the project with all the experience and knowledge she brought to the table. By far the best editor I have ever work with : )

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Since this was my first book I have published, I had many questions for Brandi. She patiently answered all my questions in a timely manner. The ideas she had for my cover blew me away. The cover I decided on was in the first set of cover ideas which we fine-tuned. This was not the cover I would have ever thought of before working with Brandi, but it is the perfect one for my memoir. She thought outside the box and used her knowledge to create a captivating book cover which will have peop...

This is my third book cover now from Baris, and I continue to be amazed. I told Baris I wanted this cover to be the most bizarre of the series, and he came back with incredible concept art just days later. We even added on an interior illustration again, and it was painless. Always professional, always on time, fantastic to work with. My book covers get non-stop compliments, and for me they're a joy to look at too. Thanks again for all the work Baris. Hire him, trust me. It's worth it.

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...

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 ...

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!

I worked with Steph for developmental and line editing (who hasn't left out a few hundred commas here or there...) and I LOVED thier vibe and approach to the whole process from the very start when I sent them a sample of my work. I walked into the process of editing very green (this is my first novel) and Steph was very supportive, constructive and helpful throughout. Steph is very real and authentic in their approach to giving feedback and notes. Also, they're incredibly good at teasing ou...

Izabela Ciesinska is a true artist in every sense of the word. Her illustrations for Claire and the Chatty Daisy are not just beautiful; they are a masterclass in visual storytelling. As someone who has spent a lifetime in this industry, I can tell you that finding an illustrator who understands the heart of a manuscript so completely is a rare gift. From the very first page, Izabela's vibrant, hand-drawn style brings Claire's world to life in a way that is both warm and inviting. Her use of...
