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...

    Ana and Josie's in line comments on my manuscript were exactly the quality of feedback I was anticipating! I appreciate their humour and kindness, while also picking up on errors or plot issues at a professional angle. Seeing how they understood details, characters and plot mechanisms with the in line...

    Thank you so much for your hard work! This was my first time having anyone beta read my manuscript and it did not disappoint. They were thorough, kind, and supportive throughout. I felt like they really got connected to my characters and the story and cared about making sure I knew that. They even delivered it a few days early! I would purchase again!

    Ana and Josie delivered my manuscript on time. They caught a lot of issues. Some I would never had noticed if I hadn't had another set of eyes on my manuscript. I had gone through dev, edits and line edits and still, they found issues. They are really nice and professional. Highly recommend.

    I reached out to Ana and Josie as a first-time writer, unsure whether I was approaching them too early in the process to make good use of the service. The package I received turned out to be exactly what I needed to move forward. Receiving both reviews together in a single set gave me a substantial body...
