Where beautiful
books
are made

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...

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

Working with Tina Morganella on my book was my very first experience on Reedsy, and I genuinely feel like I won the lottery. If I could give her 10 stars in every category, I absolutely would. Tina has a rare and remarkable talent: she can take content with messy or uneven areas and transform it into an absolute masterpiece. Reading the before‑and‑after of her edits is eye‑opening. In many cases, just a few of her adjustments elevate the writing from something ordinary to something that comm...

I am thrilled about the collaboration I had with George Stevens. He designed the most beautiful cover for my debut book, The Long Way Here and the books layout and design are more amazing than I could have ever imagined. The book launched earlier this week and I've been receiving positive feedback about the book's look and feel. I'm am extremely pleased with the way the book turned out. I am so grateful for George's expertise and self-publishing knowledge. He was so easy to work with and extr...

Reading through Rachel's changes, suggestions and comments was like receiving a masterclass in line editing. If/when I write another book, I will ask her to be on the team. Her edits brought clarity while retaining my voice. Her precision was such that when I accepted an edit in track changes mode, it came with perfect formatting. Her guidance on attributions and sources spared me from mistakes I otherwise would have made. Rachel's touch has elevated the book to a more polished--and easily re...

Misha is a true professional and wonderful to work with. Her copyedits are extremely thorough, catching not only grammar and spelling errors but also inconsistencies, logical errors, and confusing prose. Her edits strengthened my work and inspired me to make adjustments and clarifications I otherwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend working with her and will do so again if I have the opportunity.

Jack was an absolute joy to work with and I can't wait to commission him again for additional work! He completely "got" my project--and asked very in-depth questions at the start to make sure he knew my vision. Every sketch was a joy to review and I can honestly say: he nailed each one the first time! His work is bold, inventive, colorful, and has a life all to it's own. One of his works received 23,467 views (to date) on my Instagram page! I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Jack!

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...

Kristen's attention to detail and thorough understanding of how to improve a manuscript were nothing short of remarkable. I requested several editorial services, all of which were completed promptly and to an exceptionally high standard. Her feedback was insightful, constructive, and consistently explained not only what could be improved, but why those changes strengthened the manuscript. Throughout the process, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping my work re...

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...

Working with Kristin has been one of the most transformative experiences of my writing life. She approaches editing with both surgical precision and deep empathy for the work, balancing line-level craft with an extraordinary birds-eye view of the manuscript as a whole. Her editorial assessment didn’t just mark places to tighten or expand—it revealed the architecture of my collection in a way I hadn’t fully seen myself. She highlighted thematic arcs, tonal consistencies, and structural streng...

Kathy was great--her thoughtfulness and feedback went above and beyond. I felt like she was truly invested in the project and saw its potential. her suggestions for rewrites were spot on and very constructive. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and will once the rewrites are complete.

Kateryna and I have just begun our project but she is a great fit and I am thrilled to have her be my illustrator!!!

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...

My experience with Dan was exceptional and outstanding in every way. He helped me transform my rough manuscript into a much more polished, coherent and commercial product. His insights and comments were very helpful and productive. He knows how a story should be told and his organizational and formatting skills are readily apparent. He is able to develop a great working relationship that is very collaborative and his communication skills are highly developed. I couldn't be more satisfied with...
