Shannon was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job with the developmental edits and copy edits for my debut novel. The style sheet was spot on, the developmental feedback was thorough and extremely helpful in identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, and her copy editing seemed to catch every one of my numerous grammatical mistakes. I've already booked my second book with her for later this year!

I could not recommend Martha highly enough. I came to her with a chaotic passion project and not much understanding of the industry or editorial process, and she went above and beyond in helping me understand exactly what my novel needed. The editorial assessment she produced was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and delivered on time, offering great value for money. What stood out most was how deeply Martha engaged with the work. She cared about my book’s strengths, its potential, and its...

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

I had an outstanding experience working with Leslie on the copy editing and proofreading of my first book. From the beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Most importantly, Leslie understood what I was trying to accomplish with the manuscript. The book has a very intentional voice—conversational, occasionally irreverent, and built around real experiences—and I wanted an editor who could improve the writing without polishing away the personality that ma...

If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Not just the end result, but also the process leading up to it. He listened carefully to what I had to say, and when I wasn’t quite sure what I needed, he came up with great creative and innovative suggestions. This applies not only to the design, but also to other important elements like how Google displays my site and other technical features. He always responded promptly, thought things through with me, and was a pleasure to work with. I’m alrea...

An excellent job as always. Anybody can be a graphic designer. Even I managed it to a reasonable standard. To be a book cover designer however is something entirely different, and Megan just 'gets' what my books are about. The covers achieve that difficult job of standing out, yet looking at home amongst other books of their type. The proof of the pudding is other writers seeing my book covers and passing compliments about how good they are.

I highly recommend Robin for your book editing needs. She is outstanding!! I give her five stars in every category. She is responsive, punctual, professional, and adds tremendous value to her work. She has now edited two of my books, and I plan to continue working with her on future projects.

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

Joy was amazing to work on. She gave me clear advice that's going to make my novel a lot better. She also completed the project early, and checked in with me multiple times during the process.

Lynne provided a detailed and constructive review of my manuscript, supported by straightforward suggestions for revision. It was clear she had put considerable time and thought into the process. She summarized her suggestions in a concise list for easy reference as I move ahead in the final revision process. I found her easy to talk to. I highly recommend her services.

My experience with Melissa was smooth sailing. She was professional, understanding, honest and accommodating. I published my first novel Veritas Naturae back in June thanks to Melissa's help. She was very detailed when giving feedback and receptive to my concerns and questions and very patient! I was nervous at first but she was very open and encouraging the whole time and I wouldn't have gotten to publish so soon if I hadn't reached out to her and she took a chance on me. Hope to ...

This was my second time working with Blair on a project, and she has since edited both of my books. I truly value her feedback, attention to detail, and thoughtful suggestions throughout the editing process. She is prompt, professional, and accountable with deadlines, which made the entire experience seamless. Overall, this was another wonderful experience, and I’m so grateful to have had Blair’s expertise along the way. I’m excited to publish again, and I have her to thank for helping bring...

Dominic was a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, he went above and beyond to ensure that our timeline was met and I would happily recommend him.

Working with Becky on my first book was a truly valuable experience. Her feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and always focused on strengthening the story while respecting my creative vision. Beyond editing the manuscript, she provided insightful suggestions and a comprehensive style guide that will continue to help me grow as a writer. Her professionalism, clarity, and genuine care for the project made the entire process smooth and inspiring. I’m very grateful for her work and ...
