Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...

Katie is, in a word, incredible. Super talented, kind, honest, professional, patient, and completely in control of her craft, which is marketing research. For a writer like me, with no appreciable feel for that critical part of the process, Katie is, in another word, invaluable. For anyone looking for a crystal clear roadmap through the exasperating maze that is marketing research, Katie is, in a final word, awesome.

Helen was incredibly helpful; her insight pinpointed all of my story's strengths and weaknesses. This brought me clarity as a writer, allowing me to narrow my focus and iron out the bumpier parts of my book. Her criticisms were encouraging, boosting my confidence tremendously. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

I had the pleasure of working with Ed on my children’s STEM book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ed designed and led the illustration effort from start to finish, while always making sure my vision was front and center. The final illustrations are vibrant, engaging, and exactly what I envisioned for young readers. I’d highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an illustrator who can lead a project with professionalism and deliver exceptional work. In fact, I’m already working...

An absolute awesome partner and worked diligently to turn this project around on a tight timeline.

Rannia was awesome. She gave me an awesome cover. Involved me in the process the entire way through. Helped me understand what was going on.

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.

Nicola was so great to work with, both friendly and professional; she really helped me with my project and gave me feedback and encouragement. As it was my first time writing a manuscript, I felt a bit lost and overwhelmed with all the steps involved, but she broke them down and made it so much more manageable to get to the next stage. She was also so quick at getting back to any messages and completing the overall collaboration. Would highly recommend her for anyone starting on their book-wr...

Larissa gave me excellent feedback in her developmental edit, providing ideas that are valuable and actionable. She was truly excited to work with me and saw the vision of my book. She understood my characters and fundamentally respected my ideas, while still challenging me and pushing for higher quality. She offers a round of questions after the edit via Reedsy, which I’m putting together now and I can’t wait to hear what else she has to say. I deeply recommend working with her. I’m definite...

There is no better illistrator that I could ever hope to find than Shaun Friend. His work is masterful, beautiful, breath taking. He is also easy to work with. He was responsive to all my imputs and all the illistrations were completed on time.

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

Victoria was a dream to work with from start to finish. I am so pleased with the result and how easy it was to move this project to completion. Victoria was clear, organised, thorough, and genuinely interested in making my book look amazing. Would highly recommend working with her!

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

As a first-time author, I wasn't even really sure what I needed. A proofreader? A content editor? Joy has guided me from the very beginning, offering invaluable information and feedback, sharing her own experiences with the industry, too. It's been a wonderful experience and I am so happy I found Joy.
