Mike Mears | Certainty

Book cover for Certainty by Mike Mears, edited and formatted by Harvard Ink

Mike joined our loyal group of returning authors in 2023, when we worked with him to developmentally edit his bestselling book, Certainty. And he keeps coming back for more! We’ve supported him with author marketing, the book’s second edition, and developmental work on exciting new titles in the pipeline. He’s since become one of our most enthusiastic advocates, generously referring fellow authors our way. There’s no greater compliment than a happy author sending more authors to our door.

I give Harvard Ink an A+.

I have worked with them for over a year, and they’ve never failed me. They do excellent editing and content development and are creative to boot—they always come up with better and more innovative ways to get my work done.

I strongly recommend them if you want to significantly boost your business at a reasonable cost.

Michael E. Krumpak | Why Smart Leaders Do Stupid Things

Award-winning executive coach and leadership expert Mike Krumpak worked with us on his bestselling book, Why Smart Leaders Do Stupid Things: Lessons Learned from Lousy Leaders. Drawing on more than 30 years of leadership experience, Mike worked with us on co-writing, editing, and formatting this refreshingly candid look at why even brilliant leaders sometimes get it spectacularly wrong. It’s been a wonderful ongoing collaboration, and Mike has since become one of our most generous advocates, regularly referring fellow authors our way. Clearly, he knows a thing or two about making smart decisions!

Heather Lacy | The Other Side of the Mirror

HdL Digital Thumbnail

An intrepid entrepreneur and businesswoman, Heather brought us her story and trusted us to help shape it into a book. From developmental editing and polishing the manuscript through to design and final production, we worked alongside her to bring The Other Side of the Mirror to life. A remarkable woman with a story worth telling.

Mel, thank you for your team’s support and being an incredible editor and creative partner on “The Other Side of the Mirror”. You helped make the manuscript clearer, stronger, and more honest without ever taking away my voice. I’m so grateful for your skill, care, and guidance throughout the process.

Jessica Wright Botha | Rush

Every so often, a manuscript comes along that reminds us why we fell in love with this work. Jessica’s extraordinary debut novel, Rush, was one of those. Set against the turbulent backdrop of South Africa’s gold rush and modern-day Johannesburg, this gripping historical fiction weaves together two young women’s stories, separated by more than a century. We had the pleasure of working closely with Jessica on developmental and line editing, helping refine a story already brimming with originality, courage, and remarkable talent. Jessica is a natural storyteller, and we’re exceptionally proud to have played a part in bringing Rush to readers.
