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'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...

    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 were wonderful to work with. They offered unique (sometimes very funny and sweet) comments and insights and their in-line notes allowed me to see what a reader would be thinking in real time. I found this invaluable. They overlapped with a suggestion for a structural change and from the...

    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...
