I could not recommend Martha highly enough. I came to her with a chaotic passion project and not much understanding of the industry or editorial process, and she went above and beyond in helping me understand exactly what my novel needed. The editorial assessment she produced was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and delivered on time, offering great value for money. What stood out most was how deeply Martha engaged with the work. She cared about my book’s strengths, its potential, and its...

Tom has helped me immensely with writing my fantasy novel. Were it not for him, I'd have taken much more time to get where I am today in the process, and with a lot more difficulty. He's a great guy and very professional, couldn't recommend him enough.

With Jennifer, I was given insights from a professional point of view and from a reader's point of view, which allows me to understand, from a 360-degree view, what the book feels like for those who discover it. On the editing side, Jennifer was thorough and improved the flow of the text, in perfect compliance to English rules. An explanatory comment, which made it easy to choose to keep it or not always met any significant change. Reading Blue Butterfly after her work felt harmonious, an...

Working with Kelly was an excellent experience. Their feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and deeply constructive. I really appreciated how respectful and collaborative their approach was, including thoughtful responses to additional questions I had. Their report was comprehensive and full of ideas I could immediately apply, and I came away from the process feeling more confident and inspired about the next draft. I highly recommend Kelly to any writer looking for a perceptive, professional...

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Trinity did an amazing job taking my book from not quite right to just what I imagined it could be. I’m so thankful for her guidance and recommendations that made my book the book it is today. Thank you again!

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.

Lucy was lovely to work with. She identified a core question straight away that needed to be answered while helping me with my book proposal. She was responsive and engaged and her helpful questions allowed me to find the focus of the proposal and polish it from there. I'm so grateful for her input and help!

Meredith is amazing! Plain and simple! This was my first time using reedsy so I was a little hesitant. But Meredith put all my worries to rest. She answered every single one of my questions and got to work on my little Novelette and I would say she over delivered. The feedback was spot on, and with her copy editing and proofreading it couldn't have come out any better. My novelette now looks like a professional work of art. I seriously cannot thank her enough for what she's done for me. 5 sta...

This is my fourth project working with Lucia, and I can attest to the absolute professionalism of both her editing and proofreading. Thorough, timely, detailed, consistent, constructive and encouraging ... she's everything you want in an editor/proofreader. Highly recommend!

I cannot possibly say enough positive things about my experience working with Felicity. Her services were extremely affordable and she was accessible and prompt. She was thorough yet astute and cut right to the chase with her feedback, identifying areas for improvement but also highlighting a lot of positives that gave me so much more confidence about going forward with my work. I felt like she really “got” my story and her observations and suggestions were all spot on and true to the voice a...

Tom has been wonderful to work with. I will definitely hire him in the future and would recommend him again and again. He is a great communicator, kind, highly skilled.

Working with Adam was a joy! He understood my story's mission and provided suggestions that significantly enhanced my manuscript. His creativity inspired me, and I was able to have lots of fun reworking jokes while adding depth to my characters and plot. Can't wait to work with him again!

Jennifer is a fantastic editor. She was super easy to work with and was always willing to go above and beyond when I needed extra support. She provided thoughtful feedback and was the first person to let me know when my character wouldn't behave a certain way! Sometimes, it felt like she knew my characters more than I did in the moment. I loved working with Jennifer and truly recommend her to anyone that is seeking out a book coach. This was one of the best experiences I've had working with a...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...
