“Whilst beta reading my debut novel, Margherita approached the work with care and consideration, making so many insightful comments that have helped me improve so many aspects of my writing – pointing out numerous issues that I never would’ve considered before.
It was lovely working with them as the communication was always very clear and consistent, and I always looked forward to reading through their comments and applying the advice they offered.
To anyone who is looking for a beta reader you can trust to be efficient and generous with their comments, I can’t recommend Margherita’s services enough!”
— Wren Archer, author of Threads of the City.
what I did: beta read.
“Margherita has been really helpful with formatting my first published stories. I am a new author with very little experience of publishing and came to them with questions, and they offered to help out, which they did quickly and efficiently. Later when asking for opinions on a cover, they again offered to make a version and even sent me mockups for marketing which I was very grateful for.”
— Alix Nicoud, author of I can’t let him see me swoon.
what I did for him: interior formatting for the digital edition of his first short story and cover design for another story.

“Margherita came to my rescue when I was struggling to find someone to put together my illustrated cover. Not only did they finish it in record time, but we went back and forth with changes which they very kindly did just as fast. They adjusted my ebook and paperback spread (both which were uploaded without a single issue), and even took their time to do a fantastic mock up of my book to use in promotions and posts. The font choice was excellent on their behalf, they have a very great eye in matching the vibe of the font to the book, didn’t even have to ask for any specifics and they got it spot on first try. All in all, if I’d ever recommend someone to adjust and design your covers, Margherita would be the first I’d recommend.”
— Wendy Heiss, author of The Auran Chronicles Series.
what I did for her: set up the cover of the paperback and digital editions of her novelette At The End There Was You.
“Working with Margherita was easier than overthinking (i’m a pro at that btw). But in all honesty, they made the entire process so simple. They responded quickly, answered all questions and went above and beyond with what the initial inquiry was. Genuinely forever grateful for their help!”
— Alanna Fraser, author of Solar Eclipse of the Heart
what I did for her: formatted the interior of a new paperback edition.

“I believe that the universe sent me Margherita when I needed them the most. Call it fate, chance, whatever you’d like, but I connected with them the same week I was having a full-blown panic about my debut novel. I had no idea how I was going to get it formatted in time for the release along with everything else I’d been juggling.
Enter Margherita! They were available and offered various services for free (who does that nowadays?!) out of the goodness of their heart and wanting to support the indie writing community. They were able to fulfill my requests and returned good questions when my asks weren’t clear and explanations why certain things weren’t possible.
And the patience! They had so much patience through various iterations of the digital and paperback files and never once shamed me for a plethora of errors and issues that we found through the process. They were so kind and even provided advice I hadn’t considered, which was a great help.
Margherita doesn’t charge for formatting services, but they absolutely should. The result is GORGEOUS and I love how the paperback and ebook turned out. If you’re a new author not knowing where to begin or looking to outsource formatting—Margherita is an amazing resource to have on your side.
500/5 stars for their incredible tedious and hard work on my manuscript!”
— Ruby Rana, author of SNAP SHOT.
what I did for her: formatted both the paperback and digital editions of her book.
“Working with Margherita was probably the best decision I made during my publishing journey. As a very small indie, I desperately needed help and they came in ready. It honestly felt seamless and they took away so much stress I had with my upcoming release. So patient, so caring! I couldn’t be more thankful and for sure won’t be letting them go anytime soon”
— Monica Lu, author of Damned and Beautiful.
what I did for her: formatted both the paperback and digital editions of her book.
