Joy was a "joy" to work with. She was professional, fast, thorough, and brought great insights to the project. She went above and beyond the scope of work. I highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough good things about Yuliia and her team. The illustrations for my book were beyond anything I could have imagined. Yuliia is so kind, professional, and prompt with every response. The work was completed ahead of schedule on her end, and I truly will never go with anyone else again. I 100% recommend her!

Working with Maria was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and highly actionable. She challenged me to strengthen my manuscript while always respecting my voice and the heart behind the project. Her recommendations helped me deepen key sections, improve organization, and create a more meaningful experience for readers. What impressed me most was her ability to balance professionalism with encouragement. She identified areas for i...

Ed is an excellent proofreader and a pleasure to work with. He was professional, sharp, detail-oriented, and brought my nonfiction book to the next level. His careful work was essential in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of my arguments and endnotes. For any new author looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of the final book, I highly recommend him. His contribution was invaluable.

Working with Martin was one of the most valuable parts of the entire writing process. He delivered a thorough, exacting copy edit of a 77,000-word nonfiction economics manuscript and went considerably beyond the scope of what I contracted for. His notes were direct, honest, and at times bracing in the best way possible. He told me exactly what a paying audience would make of the work, which is precisely what you need at this stage and rarely get. What stood out most was his willingness to en...

I cannot thank David enough for his editing and ghost writing skills. I truly believe he turned my memoir into a cinematic masterpiece in such a short amount of time.

I enjoyed meeting Adam and working with him on my PB. He provided resources in his initial assessment, provided justification where he has questions and he didn't make assumptions on the characters. We had a virtual meeting and I was able to provide the answers and context regarding my characters and where my story could go. Adam left me with realistic hope that my story could be further explored to become an essential, relatable tale that would be enjoyed by many audiences.

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.

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!

Zoe is a consummate professional. She has illustrated numerous books for me, and I can confidently say that Zoe has made my books better in ways that I never could have anticipated. I've learned through this process to simply let Zoe do Zoe. She gives each project a lot of thought and knows how to create a winning illustration to capture each moment. Highly recommend!

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

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) ...

Emily was a complete joy to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally organized throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made what could have been a complex formatting project feel seamless from start to finish. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that the book was in capable hands. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and reliable formatter.

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!

Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic to work with. She was timely, thoughtful, professional, kind, engaging, bright and extraordinarily helpful. She is superb at what she does, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. I am already looking forward to working with her again!
