Stephanie is an absolute treasure of a human being! She made this first-time process go smoothly and worked with me on everything from payment to edits. I will definitely use her again and will recommend others to her who require her perfect skills! Thank you again Steph!

Chris is excellent to work with. He does great editing work, gave my book the direction it needed, and handed me a way forward with how to proceed from where we left off. With his insights into navigating literary and screen agents, publishing, screen rights, and anything else that might come up, we created a strong and exciting proposal document. Thanks again, Chris! I'm looking forward to working together in the future!

I am so thankful for George! He is patient, understanding, a great communicator, and above all else a true professional. His enviable artistic skills brought my characters to life in a way I couldn't ever have imagined. I was so pleased that I literally opened up his drafts on my laptop and kept them open all day every day just so I could glance at them when I got a break. I cannot recommend George enough; he is the real deal. You will not be sorry.

I absolutely loved working with Andrew on my project. His feedback, review, and suggestions were all dead on the things that I had not even noticed. He was concise. He had explained everything thoroughly giving me the bigger picture of why his suggestions and or feedback would improve a section or chapter in my novel. I highly recommend Andrew and his professionalism and hope to be able to use him again in my next project.

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

I loved working with Margarita! She was fast, responsive, enthusiastic, and created amazing cover art. It was perfect. I will definitely use her again!

I sent my proposal to five editors on Reedsy. David was the only editor who suggested a free sample edit on the first couple of chapters. I can't imagine hiring an editor without first seeing how they edit, how they interact with my material and how they make suggestions. It showed immediately how serious and thorough an editor David is. I was won over straight away after reading David's comments and edits because he pointed things out that had never crossed my mind but which in fact were hug...

This is my second time working with Jennifer. An amazing experience once again. Totally thorough, totally professional and most of all, 100% respectful. She cares about stories and she has the ability to point out things an author might miss. She communicated with me in such away that made me feel like an author, not a client. An invaluable investment 👌

Cindy completed a manuscript assessment for me that included extensive marginal notes for a 200k word historical epic set in medieval Japan. It's hard to convey the complexity of the project, but it's a multi-POV, alternate history with a mystery running through it, laced with Japanese names and places. I mention this only to give some context to just how special Cindy's attention to detail is. She navigated this behemoth with an attention to detail that would have been impressive in a 50k wo...

Irene has been wonderful to work with. Her designs and illustrations are imaginative and striking. I love what she came up with for my book cover! She has been in constant communication, getting back to me quickly about any needs or changes. Her professionalism and work ethic are top notch. She takes great pride in her work, and it shows. Because this is my first book, I miscalculated some things, but Irene was very understanding when adjustments were needed. I highly recommend her.

I've worked with developmental editors before, but nothing like Hannah. She invested herself in my story, and the letter and manuscript she gave me had a perfect scaffolding for everything I could change and add. She wasn't a critic; she was a director, pulling out my talents, telling me when she wanted more, and politely marking areas for quick correction. She gave me confidence in what I was doing well and encouragement to dispel a lot of my personal doubts. I'm certain that if I follow her...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Sarah is an exceptional editor with a thorough understanding of how to take a manuscript to the next level. I knew from our first interaction that she was a consummate professional as she set the tone for our working relationship with kindness and efficiency. She delivered her suggestions and advice promptly with an obvious eye for detail and care . She just gets it! I am so pleased to have found an editor that is reliable and insightful. I highly recommend Sarah.

Rennie is not only professional, attentive, and responsive. But she connects to your manuscript on an emotional level. I can't recommend her enough. I loved reading the notes of her reacting to my story and wanting to learn more about it, not just to help make it better, but to learn about the author.

John was great to work with.
