I always hoped I would have a very attractive design for my first book, but the level of quality I received from Samantha blew away all my expectations. Talk about top-notch professional quality that rivals and surpasses the fancy, traditionally published books I see on the shelves. My cover has brought the whole story to life and it makes me feel really good that I am starting off my career as an author with the best first impression I could ask for. Thank you so much!

Working with Dan was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was fast, communicative and clear in his feedback. He was open to meetings and easy to collaborate with. What stood out most was his attention to detail and deep knowledge of the genre. He caught niche science fiction specific details that a general editor would have missed entirely, which made all the difference for this manuscript. His notes were thorough and thoughtful. He always explained the reasoning behind each sugge...

Katherine was the first editor I had ever worked with, and I’m happy with my decision. Katherine understood the vision I had for my story and provided suggestions to improve it while still keeping its essence. The comments throughout the manuscript were detailed (and sometimes fun to read!). The feedback made me eager to work on my story rather than feel overwhelmed. I would gladly work with Katherine again for future books:)

Sue was an absolute dream to work, I'm grateful to have had her insight and professionalism to guide me on the editing of my book.

Taylor is a gem! She gave thoughtful and very well-detailed feedback. You can tell she is good at what she does. And she always replied to messages in a timely manner. I would definitely hire her again if I write another book!

Lynne is a fantastic writing coach. She is a natural teacher and honed in quickly on key issues with my draft novel and how to address them. Lynne's insight and advice is helping tremendously as I revise my draft--elevating my understanding of storytelling and my confidence. These are lessons I never learned in a creative writing course at university, but I wish I had. She provides such clarity that her suggestions seem natural and obvious afterwards--but the fact is, I never would have ar...

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...

Annemarie was amazing for both the cover design and the formatting, working hard and always being available with all my questions and requests. I can't recommend her more highly, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Exceptional design partner, world-class execution Sebastian Cudicio was an outstanding design partner throughout the full production journey of my book, Beyond Blame: A Human and Organizational Performance Approach to Incident Investigation, Learning, and Leadership. From the start, he demonstrated professionalism, clarity, and strong creative judgment, while remaining highly responsive to feedback and committed to achieving a premium final result. What stood out most: 1) Strong design thin...

I worked with Holly on my memoir, a book about a tough childhood and building a business from the ground up, and she was fantastic. Detail-oriented to a level I didn't know existed. She caught everything at the line level, but she also saw the bigger picture: the conceptual storytelling, the arc, where the narrative needed to breathe and where it needed to move. I ended up rewriting large sections of the manuscript based on her recommendations. Every one of those rewrites made the final produ...

Lauren was excellent to work with throughout this project. She was highly responsive, thorough, and consistently delivered work of a very high standard. As well as providing a detailed proofread, she often went beyond what was asked by spotting issues, making thoughtful suggestions, and helping improve the overall quality of the manuscript. Communication was clear and professional throughout, deadlines were met, and I always felt the project was in safe hands. I would happily work with Lau...

Lia was an incredible editor and co-creator to work with to bring my first spiritual awakening book into form. Since I was very new to structuring a book, Lia guided me immensely through the developmental edit to make my manuscript more robust, impactful, succinct and flowing. She offered super helpful feedback on where to clarify parts, bring my storytelling more to life, add examples and link each chapter so it all weaves together seamlessly. Through implementing her feedback, I found mysel...

Amelia exceeded expectations in every way. This book is better in measurable ways because of her. She brought out things in me that were unexpected and incredibly valuable to this project.

Hannah was a pleasure to work with. She completed the work ahead of schedule and her developmental edit of my novel was thorough and honest. Hannah made it clear how I can improve the structure and pacing of my story and how to strengthen my main characters and deepen the reader’s connection to them. Her suggestions were insightful and fit perfectly with what I am trying to achieve. My book will be so much stronger after her edit. I have learnt so much from Hannah and highly recommend her.

Working with Joel through Reedsy was an absolute pleasure! From the start, he demonstrated a clear understanding of my vision and brought my dream cover to life with artistic flair. Not only did he deliver exactly what I asked for, but he did so on time--without rushing my feedback on his drafts. What truly set him apart was his meticulous attention to detail. Every element of the design felt intentional and aligned beautifully with the heart of my story. If you are looking for someone who ...
