Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Ken was extremely helpful with the process. This was my second book, and I really wanted to make this book even better than my first. Everything turned out great. He was also very understanding of my lack of experience with this process and accommodating of my timing needs. I hope to continue to work with him in the future and potentially even have him update my first book to match the better interior of my second.

Katie is a marketing pro! Data driven, clear guidance, incredibly helpful to self-publishing authors. Knowing how to well doesn't mean knowing how to sell well. That's a different discipline and, frankly, an art in itself. Katie provided the know-how that I was lacking. I have a clear vision, a clear plan, and confidence that I am not just shooting from the hip as it pertains to marketing my book. I loved her customized powerpoint as an actual deliverable. Well worth every penny I spent.

I collaborated with Jo on a full manuscript edit, and I was very pleased with her approach and the result. The process was professional, well-organised, and collaborative, with a shared digital workspace that made tracking changes, discussing decisions, and giving feedback easy, fostering true partnership. As a first-time author, I appreciated her supportive experience. Her editorial judgment was consistently strong. She confidently identified sections that needed reworking for clarity, paci...

Mark has helped me with multiple projects from book covers, to inside formatting, to social media ads. He's exceptional ... a real pro. His attention to detail is meticulous. In addition to being a creative genius, he's easy to work with and makes you feel like you have a true partner who cares about your project as much as you do. A value he ads is that he's very familiar with the publishing world and anticipates potential issues and makes certain you are completely ready to go on launch day...

i thought i had written a workable book. Michelle's editing highlighted where I was wrong. Thoroughly professional, a great piece of editing. Had helpful suggestions to complete the work.

India completed my line edit ahead of schedule, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work. In addition to the careful line-level editing I expected, she provided valuable commentary on the middle-grade voice and identified areas where I should consider making changes. Her observations were consistently insightful and right on target. I know the manuscript will be significantly stronger once I have incorporated her recommendations. India was thoughtful, thorough, and clearly unde...

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

Tom was quite prompt, professional, thorough, and felt aligned with me in what I wanted for my book. I reviewed his work along with those of three others and found his touch to be the right level of improvement to the book without acting like he is paid per edit. His pricing was excellent, but the work was worth every penny. There was a fair balanced amount of edits and comments that were positive, encouraging, warning, advisory, and he caught things that I never would have seen, EVER. A++ hi...

Working with Becky Wallace has been one of the greatest privileges of my journey as an author. Becky has masterfully edited the last three books in my series, and her work has elevated every aspect of my writing. She possesses a rare combination of sharp editorial precision, deep storytelling insight, and genuine respect for an author’s voice. Becky expertise isn't limited to correcting grammar or restructuring sentences, she will strengthen the heart of your story. Her edits consistently sh...

Working with Jenny has been a dream of mine. And even though my expectations were quite high, she exceeded every single one of them. What I appreciated the most is how open she was to every idea, suggestion, or request. I would 100% work with her again. Actually, I know for sure I will!

Working with Jenny was one of the best decisions I made for my manuscript. She brought a rare combination of precision and warmth to my memoir — the kind of editor who clearly loves both language and the people behind it. She was meticulous without being heavy-handed, catching the kinds of details that are easy to overlook when you've been living inside your own story for years. Tense consistency was a particular area where she pushed me — gently but persistently — and honestly, I was a littl...

Collette was such a pleasure to work with and she translated my design ideas beautifully. She was very patient and accomodating with my revision requests and she made sure the final design was exactly to my liking. I’m so happy with the final design and would absolutely work with her again.

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

Absolutely amazing and truly doesn’t miss a thing. Her review was incredibly thorough yet concise, with clear examples and practical suggestions that made the feedback invaluable. Additionally, she was willing to work around my budget, for which I could not be more grateful.
