About me
We're Ana & Josie, longtime friends who share a passion for all things bookish. Our days are filled with writing, editing, and reading tasks, either for work or for leisure. We're also writers of Women's Fiction and for the past five years we have lived in 20+ countries as nomad travelers, so we're very familiar with different cultures, especially from Latin and North America, Europe, South Asia, and Oceania. When we're not hiking up volcanos or camping in the desert, we chase book clubs and author groups in our current destination. We've made the best friends all over the world this way.... Read more

    Ana and Josie provided exactly the kind of feedback every writer hopes for in late-stage beta readers. Their comments moved well beyond grammar and plot into emotional authenticity, character relationships, continuity, and reader experience. They caught subtle places where clarity or pacing could be...

    I must say I truly loved working with Ana and Josie. Their unique individual perspectives was a duality that mirrored the story I wrote. I highly recommend their beta reading services. I hope to work together again many times in the future.

    Ana and Josie were professional and approachable from the day I reached out to ask a few questions before I decided to use their services, until even after receiving delivery of their work. Their in-line comments are thoughtful, and sensitive to my message. Ana and Josie kept that message in mind while...

    Ana and Josie are the dynamic duo. They review intently, track story threads, and comment when things are both working and not. I cannot say enough good things with how pleasant and productive it is to work with them. Will use them again for the third book in my trilogy.

    Ana and Josie did a wonderful job reviewing my manuscript! They had similar overall takeaways on the book, but I could tell from both their feedback letters and their inline comments that they focused on different elements of the novel, and had different personal interests. The feedback of the two together...
