Allen was a delight to work with. He was thoughtful, creative, and entirely responsive to our needs and feedback. The quality of his work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier.

Jenny was absolutely amazing with my manuscript. She did an incredible job on my proofread and also helped me clean up unclear pieces of my memoir. I really enjoyed learning from Jenny and getting her perspective. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for proofreading, copyediting etc. She's the best!

As a first time author, Dr. Janan Sarwar's coaching through the self-publishing journey was incredibly valuable. She took me from not knowing where to start, through all the granular details to accomplish my big picture goal. At times when I got discouraged, she was encouraging and reminded me of the value of the content that we were getting published into the world, and the long-term benefits of being a published author. That counsel kept me on track. When we encountered questions that we...

The magic begins when Zoe's pen touches a blank page. Her imagination overflows, and her artwork embodies who she is: heartwarming, original, stylish, creative, imaginative, and caring. I can't say enough about Zoe's high standard of excellence. She has illustrated two children's books for me, and both have exceeded my expectations. This time, she edited the books to match my new logo, made another small tweak, and delivered them in new, professional formats. She takes her work seriously, and...

Kateryna and I have just begun our project but she is a great fit and I am thrilled to have her be my illustrator!!!

Robert truly went above and beyond for my project. He fixed up my grammar and punctuation, but also gave tons of general feedback in terms of storyline, plot, my characters, etc, which he did not need to do, but I really, really appreciated it. He gave me insight to new perspectives not just from an editor, but from a reader, as well. If you choose him for your project, you will not regret it.

Molly edited my memoir across four sections, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She was punctual with every delivery and thorough in a way I hadn't experienced with previous editors — nothing was skimmed, every section came back with careful, considered edits and a clear covering note explaining her thinking. She challenged me in exactly the right way: pushing me to put more of myself into the story, questioning distinctions I'd made without noticing, and suggesting a structural chang...

I had a great experience working with Aemilia, truly exceeded my expectations and had a sharp eye for identifying areas in my writing that needed attention, presenting me with feedback in a clear and thoughtful way. Throughout the process, Aemilia was professional, friendly, kind, and highly responsive. I felt supported and understood, which made a big difference. I would absolutely recommend Aemilia.

Working with Jane Simmonds, really made a difference in my writing. She is kind, professional, timely, and gives really honest feedback, that I found to be supportive. These pages and works we put out, usually come from the heart, and to have that balance between editing for larger groups, and supportive feedback is priceless. I would highly recommend working with Jane. With Aloha, Author E.O. Worth

I just spoke with Camille, and the experience was incredibly helpful. She provided thoughtful, insightful feedback and raised important points about my story that I hadn’t previously considered. Her perspective gave me a clearer understanding of areas that can be strengthened, and I’m genuinely excited to revisit my manuscript and make the necessary revisions. I’m also looking forward to working with Camille on refining my query once the edits are complete.

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

I had a picture book I have been working on for some time. I have had recent interest from editors but asking for changes in the ending which I struggled with. Julie offered wonderful revision suggestions that I think will make this project desirable for acquisition.

My experience with Dan was exceptional and outstanding in every way. He helped me transform my rough manuscript into a much more polished, coherent and commercial product. His insights and comments were very helpful and productive. He knows how a story should be told and his organizational and formatting skills are readily apparent. He is able to develop a great working relationship that is very collaborative and his communication skills are highly developed. I couldn't be more satisfied with...

Deborah was incredible to work with! I am so impressed with the quality of her work, her thoroughness, her notes, and how easy it was to work with her. I have been so lost in this process, and she has been beyond patient, professional, kind, and extremely responsive. I can't say enough good things about her!! I just loved working with her!

Wow. I highly recommend Lee. I've just finished working with him on my first book. He's top notch. Very creative, professional, highly skilled, talented, positive, helpful, and encouraging too. I really enjoyed the process of working with him. He went above and beyond giving me helpful tips since he's published some books himself, and he patiently worked with me as I try to fit publishing my first book; Capacity, Escape Your Invisible Limits, into my busy life. The cover that Lee designed is ...
