Cross the Teas & Dot the Eyes (Heather Holmes) Reviews 16

I was one of the authors in the anthology, World Upside Down," working with Heather Holmes as the publisher of that volume. I have nothing but great dealings with her, from the start of that project till its publication, and the time after the book's release. She communicated at every step, and where other publishers sometimes dropped the ball along the way, Heather was there all the way. She earned a five-star rating based on my experience.

Heather was a great editor to work with on the Lovecraftian cosmic horror anthology, World Upside Down, and I know, as I worked with many editors over the year, from traditional to medium press to small press. She curated, edited (both the ebook and print in both paperback and hardcover), produced, designed interior graphics and the cover, distributed, and promoted it. It was a joy to work with her and to have my story, Tea Party, included in the horror book.

I'm a contributor to a short story anthology which Heather curated, edited (both ebook and print), produced, designed interior graphics and cover for, distributed, and promoted. It's an honor to have my story featured in such an exceptional final product, and a real pleasure working with Heather. She has exceptional attention to detail, and is a skilled and talented designer. I would 10/10 recommend her as a collaborator and am looking forward to working with her again.

Working with Heather at Tidal Lantern was an absolute joy from start to finish. She took the time to truly understand my children’s book and, through her thoughtful interview process, captured not just the story itself, but the heart behind it. What she created was far beyond a simple feature—it was a beautifully written narrative that reflected my voice, my journey, and the spirit of my work in a way that felt both authentic and elevated.

Beyond her incredible writing ability, Heather is professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. The entire experience was smooth, collaborative, and enjoyable. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave to my book trailer and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented person who truly knows how to highlight and honor someone’s work.

Heather is wonderful. As an editor she is warm, friendly and supportive and I cannot praise her highly enough. I had a great experience working with her.

Working with Heather was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She is incredibly professional, attentive to detail, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled perfectly. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for top-tier quality and a seamless process

It was great working with Heather, and an overall pleasant online experience as she helped promote the work I do with pirate history in the Charleston area! Would definitely recommend, and wish her all the best in her endeavors!

Hassle free collaboration and an excellent final product; a book of well selected and presented stories. Would work with again any time.

Heather is amazing thank you so much for creating my book trailer for my newly self published children’s book! She truly went above and beyond and brought my vision to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. I’m so grateful for her creativity, patience, and attention to detail.

Heather was absolutely phenomenal to work with! She's been diligent in keeping all of us authors up to date on the process and progress of making World Upside Down a reality... I've been lucky enough to work with several editors in my time writing, and I can say that Heather has been approachable, straightforward, and commuicative. These qualities are not common amongst editors, and she excels at these areas! Plus, she clearly has a fantastc eye for great Lovecraftian horror! She has been delightful and I hope to work with her again soon on an upcoming anthology!

Good editor, sincere about writing, a good and upcoming Charleston institution.

You're going to love working with Heather. Very patient, very engaging. This was a splendid foray into the world of writing.

I had the most wonderful experience with Heather and her services. She is a champion at promoting authors, artists, and all creatives in the Lowcountry. Heather developed the most beautiful reel and graphics for my books, exceeding all expectations. The joy she brings to her projects is apparent and so appreciated. Not only is Heather a wonderful collaborator but she is a gem to work with! Highly recommend!

Working with Heather on WORLD UPSIDE DOWN was a great experience. She was very open with information, and kept us in the loop during the entire journey. I would like to work with her in the future.

Working with Tidal Lantern was a seamless and thoughtful experience. Their team took the time to understand my vision and translated it into clear, professional messaging that truly reflects my work. Their attention to detail and creative insight set them apart. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their brand while staying authentic.

I appreciate the features I had in Tital Lantern. Heather has promoted my art, as well as my poetry. Her interview process was thorough yet easy.
