"To the best of my knowledge, Nastasia's editing skills are immaculate. Just as importantly (at least to me), I felt that Nastasia took extra care in considering my voice and making choices/suggestions that suited my style of writing. She's also been endlessly patient with my millions of questions and its never been a doubt in my mind that she cares enormously for her authors – of which I consider myself incredibly lucky to be one of."

Authors Maya Tate & Cara Clare
"We commissioned a map for our new romantasy series and the whole process from beginning to end was just wonderful. Nastasia was so helpful and Fred did an absolutely stunning job with the map. He kept us updated throughout with progress pics and his attention to detail with the finished map was second to none. We are thrilled and will definitely be coming back for more projects in the future!"

Author Danielle Garrett
"Nastasia and Fred were both absolute delights to work with, and I love the new chapter headings and ornamental artwork. Five stars!"

Author Jordan Smith
"I contacted Stardust for their cover designs. They got back to me super fast and were very communicative and easy to work with. Fakel designed the cover for my fantasy book and she knocked it out of the park! It's better than anything I could have envisioned, and she was very professional and prompt throughout the process. This will be my first self-published book so everything is new to me, but Fakel and Stardust made me feel comfortable about everything! Would absolutely recommend using Stardust Book Services for cover designs and any other services they offer."

Author Brandon Bernard
"I cannot speak enough praises for Nastasia. She edited my debut novel, and I had many reservations, but she went above and beyond in setting my worries at ease with her communication and, above all else, the quality of her work. Her edits were thorough, clear, and always professional.
6 stars. Is there a 6 star option? There is now."
-
Author Ally Kelly
"Nastasia was fantastic to work with - she answered my questions, and her explanations for her edits were very easy to follow. Nastasia specifically specializes in fairytale retellings, so when I reached out to her back in May, I was confident I'd made the right choice. When I got the edits back, I was given valuable feedback that I was able to use to strengthen my draft. When I asked for clarification on things, Nastasia was quick to respond and reassure me. Nastasia is the owner and founder of Stardust Book Services, and has several other editors and cover artists working with her, so be sure to check Stardust Book Services out!
If you are looking for an editor to work with on your book, I cannot recommend Nastasia as an editor enough!." -

Author Estelle Duke
“Absolutely stoked with the book cover Stardust created for me. After being assigned an artist, I received a first draft within a couple of days and the initial concept was beautifully done. Both Norman and Nastasia who I spoke with from the company were very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend their services and I will definitely be using them again."
-
Author S.A. Jackson
"Nastasia and Norman were absolutely amazing! They worked with me on a deadline and produced a beautiful product. They were very communicative and pricing was fair. Will use again in the future. 5 stars!."

Author P.E. Gilbert
"I found Stardust online, and I absolutely recommend writers/authors to work with them. Nastasia (the person of contact) was very user-friendly, efficient in her responses, and helpful. She found me a brilliant cover artist (Orina), who produced a phenomenal cover for my latest novel, The Cousin’s Conflict, outdoing my expectations completely.
So, thank you Stardust, Nastasia, and Orina. I will definitely use Stardust again for the sequel.
If you are looking for a company to help you create your book cover, marketing materials, and/or other book-related services, look no further. Get in touch with Stardust and Nastasia NOW!"

"Stardust Book Services are attentive, professional, and highly skilled. So far they've brought 3 book covers to life for me and worked with me to bring the images I had in my head to life- but even more beautifully than I could've imagined. They have a client for life with me."

Author Gillian Grant
"I commissioned a map from Stardust and the process was so easy! From picking the tier I wanted (for detail and artwork), to choosing which cartographer, I felt very at ease. Fred was amazing with my map and always checked in to make sure everything was going the way I needed it too. It was overall a very good experience and I plan on coming back for any future services I need!"

Author Sherri Springer
"I can’t say enough about the great experience I had with Stardust Book Services. It was an easy choice for me, when I saw Maru’s illustrations. This being my first children’s book, I needed to feel confident in the professionalism & knowledge I sought for pre-publication as well.
Thank you Nastasia and Maru for your part in bringing my vision of “Dorkle” to life!!"
-
Author Bethany Arliss
What a wonderful experience it was working with the Stardust Book Services team. Nastasia's communication was delightful and responsive. Then, my cover designer, Daniela was also wonderful and patient with my many questions and vague ideas. I'll definitely use them again and can highly recommend them.
-
Author M.T. DeSantis
"Zoe designed a cover for my dark circus fantasy novel, and satisfied is an understatement for how I feel about the final result. The cover is gorgeous, and Zoe was a joy to work with--taking my rather scattered concept notes and coming up with something amazing that fits the tone of the novel perfectly. I'd definitely work with Zoe again!"
-
Rowan Tiffoli
"Jonas is an exceptional artist and I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future. He listened to what I wanted and brought Thea and Tobi to life. I'm so excited to have their finished illustrations and to see them as I've always imagined and written them."

Author J.W. Webb
"I’ve always struggled with finding good formatters. Fortunately, that’s no longer a problem. I discovered Stardust Book Services! Not only did they do a great job, but company owner Nastasia kept me in the loop, proving both professional and fun to work with.
Rae, her formatting expert, was a joy and created a flawless file for my 13th Legends of Ansu book, Dreamslayers. I was so happy I asked their talented cartographer, Chaim, for a map too. At last my formatting issues are over. I would recommend Nastasia and Stardust to anyone looking for a good job done and prompt turnaround. Thanks, guys!" -

-
Nicholas Dufresne
"I recently contracted Stardust Book Services to design a custom font for my novel, A Planet to Nowhere. I believe I was the first customer to inquire about the creation of a font. The end result was absolutely beautiful font that truly completes my book! The team worked with me flawlessly to ensure that I got exactly what I envisioned. Truly, working with Stardust Book Services was an amazing experience."

Thank you both so much for all your lovely work and assistance!"

-
Author Tom Adamson
"Stardust Book Services are excellent, an excellent company that provide some of the best editing and formatting services a writer could ask for. Nastasia's edits were so helpful for the plot and flow of my book, and I couldn't have published my book without Rae's excellent formatting. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
-
Justin Lovett
"Fred was amazing to work with. I highly recommend him as a cartographer. He really does his best to ensure that the map not only feels right, but looks right too. This particular map is for the city of Helheim, the primary city within my Steam Dreams setting."
-
Author Eva Lauder
"Oh my goodness! I cannot recommend them enough. My debut novel ms had become a shoddy mess after paying two different formatters to format the book. I found Stardust Book Services and they were so professional, empathetic to my situation and really very lovely. Rae has done an amazing job of what I thought was ready for the bin, and throw the towel in. I can’t express enough of how great they are. I shall be returning to them for the next project and use their editing and proofreading services as well. The relief of knowing that I have them as my go-to book services is really very positive. Thank you"
-
Author Kim Benson
"I absolutely loved my experience with Stardust Book Services and Fred Kroner who worked with me to build a map for my upcoming fantasy release. They were always ver communicative, had quick turnarounds, and were so easy to work with.
I highly, highly recommend working with them and will absolutely be coming back to them for more maps and book services."
-

-
Author Z.B. Lee
"Nastasia was an excellent and thorough editor, making sure I was aware of any and all issues with the story so that I could work through them to make the story exactly what I wanted it to be."
-
Author Ryan Cahill
“I cannot recommend Nastasia highly enough. She is professional, meticulous, and sticks to her deadlines – she is also friendly and great to work with. All of these aspects blend together to create a fantastic working experience. From the very beginning of our project together, Nastasia laid out a plan, set a deadline, and set top quality standards. Working with Nastasia is not just about editing – it's about learning. My mistakes weren't simply corrected; they were caught, corrected, and explained in a way so as to teach me to not repeat them.
Five stars all the way."
-
Author D.W. Whitlock
"Fast, efficient and thorough, Nastasia's beta read of my thriller gave me the insight I needed to polish the rough areas of my manuscript along with a clear understanding of what worked as well. A per character breakdown along with a questions raised and answered approach helped me understand if I had paid off my setups with clarity and impact. Great experience overall, I look forward to collaborating with Nastasia in the future."
-
Donald Jones
"I highly recommend Stardust Book Services. Nastasia was simply amazing to work with. Her edits were the perfect addition to my epic fantasy manuscript and I sincerely look forward to working with her again."

Jayda Dagon
"It's been amazing working with Stardust, they're friendly, professional and quick to respond. Having a development edit with Cate specifically has been brilliant too. She's enthusiastic and her insightful feedback has been invaluable - can't recommend her enough!"
-
Emma Blunck
"Cate was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is clearly passionate about what she does and does it in such a dedicated and concise way. She was always open to answering my many many questions and helped me build my manuscript into what I could have only imagined it being. I look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future."
-
Author O.M. David
"As a proofreader for my epic dark fantasy novel, Nastasia certainly went above my expectations. Being a thorough, careful reader and straight on point with all the suggestions, I could not have asked for more from a proofreader, all the more for a non-native English author like myself. The results showed me that she is not only an editor who knows their job and works well, but also an editor who communicates clearly and respects deadlines, while at the same time being encouraging and positive towards the author’s work. After working with her, I knew I did something right."
-
Nicole Haskell
"Nastasia was incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with! As a new writer, I was a bit nervous placing my manuscript in another’s hands, but she quickly delivered the feedback and critique I needed. She helped identify the places and technical aspects that required work as well as providing encouragement and pointing out the positive points of the story, plot, and characters.
She provided professional and engaging constructive criticism while maintaining a supportive and heartening tone throughout our communications. I deeply appreciate the experience of working with her and am hoping to utilize her skills in the future.
Highly recommend!!" -
Lucee P
"I used the Alpha Read package from Stardust and it's just amazing! Within a week I have comments to make my entire book stronger. Nastasia pointed out places I knew my writing was weak and offered suggestions on how to fix this. She also found places where my writing was strong. I've walked away from this with a report on how to make my writing better but also the confidence in my abilities and future as a writer. Thank you so much Nastasia!"
-
Bryan Lassiter
"Nastasia was very helpful in clearing up the language of my writing, taking into consideration I was a first-time writer. Taking a steady hand with constructive criticism that was always on topic and always with a helpful note for me to understand what worked or didn't work. The Chapter Breakdowns provided helped me understand why a chapter worked or didn't work as well as giving me confidence in my writing and in my own ideas. Helping me take the leap in making some things more deliberate in the narrative and graphic when they needed to be and less so when they didn't. I always felt like every note was there to help me be better and not as a disparagement. I will definitely be using the editing services again for each of my next projects in order to get the best out of them. If you're on the fence about the services I would say take the plunge it will only help you get better."
-
Graham Stanley
"My experience of the first chapter review was a very positive one. Not only was the feedback from Nastasia clear and detailed, with lots of pointers as to how I can improve the writing and move forward with the book, but it was also very encouraging. I now feel energised to continue writing this story after this review."
-
Carlos Young
"I was originally introduced to Stardust Books services through Nastasia, who answered a plea for advice on a writing group.
Nastasia offered to hold a consultation over a videocall. She was extremely excited to listen to the outline of my manuscript and offered some great advice. I chose to have a manuscript evaluation, as it was important to have a professional viewpoint. I had five or six people read the manuscript beforehand, all who had enjoyed it but had not been able to give me the kind of feedback that I knew was vital to move things forward.
Nastasia's work was thorough and sincere and most importantly honest. She delivered the feedback that has pointed me in the right direction and if one day I am lucky enough to be published she will have been an integral part of the process.
Nastasia, thank you for everything you have done and your willingness to answer any further questions that will no doubt arise in the future.."

Juliet McCabe
"I have recently used Stardust Book Services for Beta Reading. I wanted the opinion of someone who read fantasy YA and did not know me. I signed a contract that said I had rights to the book and that Beta reading should be completed in 2 weeks by Sara Miller. However it only took 2 days and there was a comprehensive report on characters, plot, pacing, rating. As well as recommendations for changes the beta reader would like to see to improve their rating and comments on what the readers thoughts were as they read through the novel. Sara answered three questions I had, such as did you enjoy it, would you read the next book. I was very happy with the speed and detail of the report, and the fact that Sara had also Beta read for other magical Academy books. I also found the price reasonable and I'd like to thank Nastasia and Sara for the service."
-
Caleb Dickinson
"Isabelle was the most thorough and detailed beta reader for my novel, she provided significant feedback that was very well elaborated, showing me things about my novel that I had never thought of before. It was an interesting adventure to read through the story with an objective viewpoint and with that I have been able to narrow down my editing to cover those aspects which needed work. Stardust Book Services have been helpful and generous with their time and effort, ensuring that I received not only what I was asking for but additionally, working with me to pinpoint the exact process that would best suit my needs at that time. From start to finish this has been smooth sailing and I will definitely be using them again in the future, as I will be needing more services done. Thank you so much for everything!"
-
Ben Douan
"I was a winner of one of the editing packages in Stardust's first anniversary draw, and I am amazed at the level of service they provided. They are very prompt, reasonable, and friendly. I worked with Molly on a developmental edit and she provided significant insight, identifying overused tropes, plot issues, and character development ideas. The feedback has both helped me identify weak points in the story, and build on already strong aspects. Overall, Stardust has done an amazing job!"
-
Chris Palomarez
"I’ve worked with Stardust Book Services twice now, both times exceeding my expectations. They operate with very professional work, and fast return time. One of the critiques I received (of the many) was enough to be worth the money I paid. If you are wondering, take the leap. You won’t regret it."
-
Liz Hamilton
"Working with Nastasia/Stardust Book Services was one of the best decisions I made in the life of my book. Nastasia was incredibly professional, but also just as personal, passionate, and dedicated to my work as I could have ever imagined. Her insight into the nuanced areas of editing was invaluable, especially when it came to the gritty areas of continuity, pacing, and overall flow. Highly recommend!"
-
Stephanie Ruthlessly
"I am so grateful for the manuscript assessment I received from Nastasia. She asked probing questions that helped me identify ways to clarify what I intended to say. Thank you!"
-
Christina Rice
"Working with Stardust for their beta reading service was a wonderful, stress-free and positive experience from beginning to end. Hayley provided beautifully detailed feedback and took time to understand my concerns. They even followed-up afterwards to make sure everything went well.
I wish I had been familiar with them earlier in my writing journey. I will absolutely be working with Stardust again and tapping into their other services. THANK YOU!"
-
Jessica Oak
"I worked with Dayna for copyedits, and they went above and beyond! The whole process was smooth. Dayna kindly provided a timely sample edit and a quote so I could judge if we were a good fit. When I decided to move forward, they got right to work on copyedits. The turnaround time was 3 weeks, and i received a very thorough copyedit. I will absolutely work with them again."
-
Meg McIntyre
"Stardust Book Services was punctual, professional and friendly in their handling of the proofreading and formatting for my client's manuscript. They took the time to answer our many questions and explain aspects of the process we were unfamiliar with. The formatter, Rae, was incredibly helpful and accommodating when we requested adjustments to the font size and made sure we were happy with the final product. I will definitely refer their services to my clients again in the future."
