WSJ and USA Today bestseller

Kevin's team has been my literary lifeline for 12 years - through my memoir's messy first draft, the book proposal that nearly broke me, and those stubborn essays that refused to sing. They didn't just assign editors; they curated soul-alchemists. One cracked open structure like a safecracker. Another taught me to hear my own voice's music. And Kevin? He answered my 3AM panic emails with 'Try this' solutions that always worked. Most editors polish sentences. These people midwifed my legacy.

Most vendors make promises. CPH delivers miracles. When we needed a CEO's leadership manifesto in 60 days - a timeline that made seasoned writers quit - they handed us 80,000 words that read like they'd marinated for decades. No hysterics. No corners cut. Just cold professionalism and hotter talent. HarperCollins now throws them our most impossible projects because they treat 'impossible' as the starting line."

Simone Rhodes

Executive Editor, HarperCollins Leadership

Eric at CPH took 400 shrieking Office interviews and spun them into a golden thread. The man writes with a sniper's precision and a jazz musician's soul. Our manuscript arrived smelling like whiskey and wisdom, somehow making corporate chaos feel like poetry. That NYT bestseller badge? Half of it belongs to him.

Why Choose
Our Expert Editors


Work With Bestselling Writers

Editors from the Big Five

Has your manuscript ever been reviewed by someone who used to decide what got published at the biggest houses in New York? Our editors have acquired and shaped hundreds of books for traditional publication. Now they work with authors like you.

One-on-One, Every Step

We don’t slot you into a process. We listen to what you’re writing, what you’re aiming for, and where you’re stuck. Then we walk with you through the entire journey, from first draft to final pitch.

A Record That Speaks for Itself

Hundreds of our projects have gone on to traditional publication. Many have won awards. More than a few hit number one. But what matters just as much to us is that your voice comes through clearly and professionally, ready for bookstores, agent,s and readers.

You’ve written a draft… but you’re wondering if:

  • it’s well organized and structured effectively
  • your writing is clear and concise
  • the first line captures your reader’s attention
  • it ends with a powerful conclusion
  • content should be added or removed to improve its quality
  • your characters are well developed and consistent
  • it connects with your target audience
  • it has an urgent and engaging narrative arc
  • it’s timely and marketable

We have the answers for you.

Our team of #1 New York Times-bestselling book editors will identify your manuscript’s weaknesses and advise you on how to elevate your work to publishing industry standards.

FAQ

What's Included in the Consultation Process?

Our consultants are available to discuss all aspects of your project with you, including planning, preparation, concept generation, organization, development, style, tone, writing, editing, formatting, publishing, and more!

Our consulting process is flexible and customizable to your needs and preferences. Consultation sessions generally take place by phone or video call, but can also include in-person meetings if necessary or just written feedback.

Once you’re happy with the content of your book, we can help you determine which publishing options work best for you and make your published book a reality!

Can I Work with the Same Consultant the Entire Time I’m Writing My Book?

Yes. In fact, we encourage it. If you connect with someone who understands your work, they’ll stay with you across drafts and stages. And if you ever feel a different voice might help, we can make that change too. Our focus is always on what’s best for you and your book.

Will a Reviewer Implement the Changes They’ve Suggested, or Will I Have to Do It Myself?

You can go either way. Some authors want feedback and prefer to make edits themselves. Others ask us to do the revisions directly. We’ll tailor the process based on how involved you want to be and what will move your project forward most smoothly.

Can You Help Me with the Publishing and Marketing for My Book?

Yes, and we do. Publishing can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. That’s why we offer clear, practical guidance for every path, be it traditional, hybrid, or self-publishing. If you're ghostwriting with us, your package may already include a professional query letter or proposal. We’ll even give you a curated list of agents that match your genre and readership. The goal is always the same: a published book in your hands and on the shelves.
