Abbie was a great help in editing my manuscript for publication- I highly recommend!

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

Lyndsey Smith did an excellent job reviewing my manuscript, delivering her feedback in a very timely manner. Her focus on word choice, grammar, and syntax was exceptional. Thanks to her thorough work, I feel confident that my final manuscript is ready for submission to agents and publishing houses. She even caught several errors that I would have never noticed on my own. I am extremely pleased with her services and confident that I made the right choice in hiring her. Thanks, Lyndsey. Giul...

Working with John was a fantastic experience. He brought a sharp editorial eye, offered thoughtful suggestions without changing my voice, and truly helped elevate my manuscript. His attention to detail, professionalism, and understanding of story structure made this a smooth and rewarding collaboration. Highly recommend.

David is ***excellent*** to work with! I cannot say enough GREAT things about him. I LOVE the cover he created for my book - I think it is perfect. He is easy to communicate with and responsive to requests. If I could give him 100 stars (instead of the 5 max) I would. David is top notch!

Again, Katherine was amazing! So incredibly helpful, and I loved reading her edits and letter. Will definitely work with again!

Liz is in a class by herself. It didn't hurt that we are, kind of, the same age (I'm older) and have a very simpatico writing style and approach to marketing, which is to say to not call it that since it seems to cheapen that big hunk of your soul that you laid out for all to judge. You are just seeking ways to amplify your voice and the heart of your book. She gave me SO MANY tools to do that, ones that I had no idea existed. She steered me away from big wastes of money on ads and other thi...

Working with Rannia was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brought both creative sensitivity and technical precision to the design of Unchosen, translating a concept-driven manuscript into a cohesive visual identity across cover and interior. Her communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. She handled revisions thoughtfully, incorporated feedback carefully, and navigated the technical complexities of KDP formatting with confidence and expertise....

Reece-Alexander Norris-Paterson or The Commander of the Northern Armies, as I call him, is a man of many names and phenomenal talent. He designed the cover of my debut novel and the result was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I don’t know what kind of magic he used, but bless him, for he reached into my mind, took out my dream cover and brought it to life, while also somehow making it a million times better. The commander completed the project on time and was willing to revise...

Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He approached my manuscript with balance of technical precision and genuine care for the story being told. What stood out most was his ability to engage deeply with the intent of the work, not just the mechanics. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and respectful. Michael’s communication was clear, encouraging and professional throughout the process. He didn’t just edit the book, he collaborated with it. As...

Working with Cathy was an absolute pleasure. She brought sharp editorial instincts to every manuscript, catching inconsistencies we had overlooked while preserving the author's voice throughout. Her turnaround time impressed me, efficient without ever feeling rushed or superficial. What stood out most was her communication style: clear, constructive, and always solution-oriented. When she flagged an issue, she came with suggestions rather than just problems. I would recommend her without hesi...

Martha's editorial report exceeded my expectations in both depth and precision. I received nearly a thousand line-level comments, each one thoughtful and specific. Rather than dictating changes, she asks the right questions: where gaps exist, where the timeline needs anchoring, where repetition dulls the prose. She caught contradictions I had missed across chapters and flagged patterns I was too close to see. What impressed me most was her respect for the manuscript's voice. She pushed for cl...

I felt quite fortunate to have Kristen as development editor for my story. She did a deep analysis of my manuscript and gave me detailed notes and suggestions regarding aspects of the text that were well done, as well as areas where additional clarification would be helpful to the reader. I found her work to be well thought out and our communications smooth and prompt. Her style is friendly and supportive making the process more pleasant than I expected. I also found that her own experience w...

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...

Joel is an excellent artist and consummate professional. His quote clearly outlined exactly what he would provide for the agreed upon price and he fully delivered. Even after the fact, Joel continues to provide support and is going to help with with the cover uploads to KDP and IngramSpark. I will be working with Joel again in the future. If you are looking for a cover artist, I highly recommend him!
