Testimonials
"I love working with Adam Cotton. He is very easy to work with and very personable. He knows story and is able to incorporate and customize his knowledge to meet your individual needs. I have been able to talk through difficult road blocks in the story I am writing, and coming out on the other end feeling motivated and inspired again. he will also tell you when you are not on the right track and help you with productive criticism and course correction if needed. My plans are to continue to work with him in the future in collaboration with my writing. I have not had the pleasure of working with ADK yet, but perhaps it's in the stars as well." - Jennifer Classen - Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller
"I highly recommend Adam as a developmental editor! I found him on TikTok and he answered my questions about the services, which I realized that the person I originally was going to hire had major red flags. He never talked bad about the other editor but told me what was normal and what wasn’t (this is my debut novel so I had no idea what the red flags were in an editor). We had a great talk on the phone which ended up turning into a consultation call and making me feel more comfortable hiring him. He’s extremely professional and knowledgeable. But my favorite thing about him is how passionate he is. He truly wants to help make your work better. He did an in depth editorial letter and in line comments. He was able to point things out that I hadn’t even noticed or considered. We talked on the phone for a while afterward going over the letter and comments. He helped brainstorm ideas with me and answered all my questions, even as I started to go into edits based on his feedback. I will definitely use him again in the future. He made me feel better about my writing and is very encouraging. Highly recommend again!!!!" - Kayla Thaler - Dystopian Fantasy
"I really needed directional focus for the third volume in my series. Adam gave me clear advice and helped me give the book a cleaner plot. The Sapphire Ghost Vol. III," - EM Templin - Suspense Thriller
"Adam did a great job developmentally editing my manuscript. I was worried about an editor not honoring the vision for the manuscript, but he was encouraging and supportive, and helped me see the biggest issues with my manuscript and gave me clarity in how to proceed and take the novel to its next stage without being too ruthless or formulaic. He was professional, and his comments and suggestions were thorough and helpful." - Annika Gale - Domestic Thriller
"To say I’m pleased with A.D.K's work is an understatement. Her feedback was incredibly thorough and constructive. I can tell she really took time and care through this process. She also gave me advice and encouragement for publishing my first novel. I’m so appreciative and will be hitting her up for my next draft(s)." - Alexis B. - Crime Thriller Anthology
"I had found Adam Cotton in a Facebook group offering his services and decided to work with him. I was pleasantly surprised by his professional attitude, and how thorough his developmental edit was, especially because I wasn't sure what to expect. He had found things within my manuscript that I hadn't even considered, which ended up changing my story for the absolute best, especially near the end bits. Now, over 1000 copies sold 8 months after publishing, I can say that I can't wait for him to dev. edit my next one." - Australia D. Kincannon - The Phantom's Melody - Romance
"A.D.K is a competent book editor and formatter. She was very polite and kind to me. She sent me a custom offer outside her posted gigs, to make edits to my manuscript. Will be coming back for future assignments. Thank you A.D.K!" - Sarah Arif - PREY - Thriller
"I feel so lucky to have found Australia for my manuscript evaluation. Her insights were exactly what I needed—she helped me strike the right balance between dialogue, narration, and exposition, which significantly improved the pacing and emotional depth of my story. Her feedback was thoughtful, clear, and tailored to my writing style. I highly recommend her to any writer looking to take their manuscript to the next level." D.K. Winters - Always Been Yours - Romance
"It was a pleasure working with Adam (editor) and Australia (illustrator cover and formatting book). My book is a memoir. Adam’s attention to detail and input on pacing and flow from one chapter to the next helped improve my book without compromising my writing style. Australia designed a beautiful book cover that captured my vision. She also handled the formatting of the Ebook and printed editions. Thanks again for the great work and partnership. I am really happy with the results."
