"In 2017, I wrote three novels, and all 253,750 words passed through the amazing team at Invisible Ink. I went into the process believing my books were in good shape, but Leah and Anne showed me how much better they could be. As result of their herculean efforts, my books are averaging 4.7 stars on Amazon, and many of the reviews have called out how well-edited they are. Thank you!"

“I have worked with Invisible Ink Editing, specifically Samantha Gordon and Leah Wohl-Pollack, on two novels and couldn’t be more satisfied with their services. For both books, I got the editing package for a developmental edit, line edit, and final proofread. Because Samantha has handled the first two phases of both novels, we have developed a strong professional relationship that brings out the best in my writing. Working with Samantha and Leah is enjoyable and flexible. I plan to work with them again in the future.”

Meet your editing team

"I have worked with Invisible Ink for three novels so far and will certainly be returning. I highly recommend their bundle package, particularly for new authors. Having a developmental edit has been invaluable in order to straighten out weak points in my plot and enabled me to improve and build on my characterisation and themes. At first, I was nervous to receive the critique and the line edit, but Liam is great at providing feedback and suggestions without it feeling negative, as well as highlighting strong points and things he liked, which I have found really encouraging. Mike has also been fantastic, going way beyond what I expected from a proofread. Each time I feel like I learn from their comments and explanations."
