John L. says, "Editors Sean and Asher have been a pleasure to work with. They've supported me through every step of my project with professionalism, good judgment and a level of dedication that's hard to find. They listen, they communicate and they always follow through. They've made a complicated process feel manageable and I value the respect and care they bring to their work. I'm glad to have them on my team."See more

Joseph U. says, "I had the pleasure of having Bob Cooper doing line/copyediting for my upcoming novel. He was prompt and responsive in addressing any questions I had and was accommodating with my deadline. With his two-and-one editing bundle, I got an exceptional deal at such great value. He was very thorough in his editing and brought up points I hadn't even thought of before. I would highly recommend him to anyone!"See more

Lisa Marie W. says, "I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. From the beginning, Matt was great at taking concepts that were completely new and foreign to me and breaking them down in a way that made them approachable and understandable. Matt took the time to teach me the foundational techniques and reasoning I needed to build upon as I progressed, rather than focusing solely on getting to the right answer. One of the things I appreciated most about Matt was his ability to adapt to the way I learn. He quickly recognized when I needed something explained differently and was so incredibly patient and flexible in finding an approach that worked for me. His instruction gave me tools that helped me become more confident and independent in working through material that was new to me. Matt is also very personable and created an environment where I felt comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and working through concepts I didn't understand. That made an enormous difference for me, particularly while learning material that felt intimidating. He was also accommodating when my schedule changed and was consistently kind, patient, and professional. Beyond being an exceptional tutor, Matt is also just an all-around awesome person. Matt is down-to-earth, interesting, funny, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. I always looked forward to our sessions, not only because I knew I would walk away having learned something, but because he made the process of learning enjoyable. It is rare to find someone who is both exceptionally good at teaching and just a really great human to learn from and Matt is absolutely both. I would hire Matt again without hesitation for any future tutoring needs. He is genuinely one of the best instructors I have ever had and anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him is incredibly fortunate. I will always be grateful for Matt's instruction, patience, and effort he invested in helping me learn."See more

Kenya P. says, "# A Testimony of Intentionality, Accountability, and the Power of a Trusted Book Coach **A Heartfelt Testimonial for Ashley Smith, CEO & Founder of In Her Own Ink** My experience with Ashley Smith of, In Her Own Ink, has been nothing short of extraordinary. As I continue embracing my, Next Chapter, though, PAIN HAS A VOICE, I have experienced a remarkable level of accountability, intentionality, professionalism, and forward-focused guidance. Ashley embodies the rare balance of being both **professional and relational, insightful and patient, yet intentional and accountable. She understands that coaching an author is about far more than putting words on paper. It is about creating a safe, confidential, and trusted space where a writer's truth, intellectual property, creativity, and personal experiences are respected, protected, and nurtured. What I appreciated most was her ability to honor both the process and the person. She remained accountable to our time, knew when to redirect a conversation, when to challenge my thinking, and when to lovingly say, *"Let's step back and revisit this tomorrow or another day."* That level of discernment is not simply a professional skill; it is a gift. Ashley is a woman of wisdom, insight, and extraordinary intentionality. She has a unique ability to draw out the very best of a writer's truth, voice, and God-given gift of the pen, helping transform deeply personal experiences into words that are both **eloquent and transparent, powerful and authentic. Writing a book is much like giving birth. It requires vision, patience, preparation, courage, and someone who understands the significance of what you are carrying. Not everyone is equipped to help you deliver what has been planted within you. Ashley Smith understands the assignment. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone who is carrying a story, a message, or a manuscript that is waiting to be birthed. If you are seeking a Book Coach who will honor your voice, protect your vision, challenge you with purpose, and walk alongside you with integrity and intentionality, I encourage you to partner with someone who is as committed to the delivery of your literary vision as you are. For me, that person has been Ashley Smith. Because when your pain has a voice, your story deserves to be heard, honored, and handled with care. With gratitude, honor, and heartfelt appreciation, Kenya "The Visionair" Phillips** Author, PAIN HAS A VOICE*"See more

Eva was fantastic! I would recommend her HIGHLY for her professional editing and proofreading services. I had to find someone fast for a special book project I'm currently working on. She listened to what I needed and did exactly what I asked her to do. The work was done in the time frame I asked for and was EXTREMELY professional and VERY helpful. Eva, I sincerely thank you for helping me!! By the way, I'm going to be calling you soon because I need your editing services again! Indy
