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

    Wonderful job helping me see my writing through different sets of eyes. Very insightful inline comments. They were very encouraging and offered praise but were also willing to point out flaws. I highly recommend this team to anyone in need of polishing a manuscript!

    If you’re on the fence about whether or not to purchase a beta from these two ladies—whether the juice is worth the squeeze — let me confirm, the results were worth far more. They did an amazing read through, caught so much, they were extremely insightful, unique from the other, intelligent, and they...

    I reached out to Ana.josie for an objective appraisal of my memoir. They each read my book separately—line by line, chapter by chapter.

    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...
