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...

Working with Tina has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my publishing journey. She is that rare kind of editor who brings equal parts mastery, intuition, and genuine care to every page. Her feedback was never just technical — it was clarifying, grounding, and deeply attuned to the heart of the work. I felt seen, supported, and sharpened in all the right ways. Tina doesn’t simply polish a manuscript; she elevates it. She listens for the soul of the book, protects its...

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...

Working with Abbie Greaes has been nothing short of transformative. If you’re serious about elevating your manuscript — not just polishing it, but truly levelling up as a writer — Abbie is an exceptional partner in that process. Her editorial report and in-line manuscript notes didn’t just highlight areas for improvement — they fundamentally shifted how I think about story, character, and craft. The depth of her insight is extraordinary, but what truly sets Abbie apart is how she delivers it...

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...

Working with Kelly has been an extremely valuable experience. After months of writing and rewriting my manuscript, I had become too close to it to recognize repetition, structural weaknesses and patterns that were affecting the flow. Kelly was thoughtful, honest and constructive. She identified where the manuscript could be tightened and strengthened without trying to change my story or replace my voice. Acting on her notes has made a considerable difference, and I believe the manuscript i...

Collette was such a pleasure to work with and she translated my design ideas beautifully. She was very patient and accomodating with my revision requests and she made sure the final design was exactly to my liking. I’m so happy with the final design and would absolutely work with her again.

Laurel's developmental edit was one of the most insightful and valuable pieces of feedback I've ever received on my writing. She didn't simply identify strengths and weaknesses. She understood the heart of the story I was trying to tell, and with greater clarity than I had myself. Her editorial report was thoughtful, perceptive, and remarkably precise. She pinpointed exactly where the manuscript could be strengthened while preserving everything that made it unique. Every recommendation felt ...

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

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...

Working with Nicola has been an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Her creativity, talent, and attention to detail brought my story to life in a way I could only have dreamed of. Every illustration perfectly captured the characters, emotions, and magical moments within the book, adding so much charm and personality to each page. Nicola was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about creating something special. As a first-time author, seeing my words transfor...

Andreea was exceptional from the very beginning. From my first request, she asked specific questions about the work I wanted done, including source files, page count, and KDP requirements, and she was clear about her timelines and workload throughout. She sketched lettering options before building anything, then delivered custom title lettering that perfectly matched the artwork (the playful eye in the O is a nice touch). She also spotted a composition issue on my third cover that I would hav...

I honestly don’t even know where to start. Eric is the perfect collaborative partner. He adjusted his process to work with me, especially since I’m not an editor and my writing style is unconventional and deeply rooted in lived experience. Eric challenged me to think about things I hadn’t considered and served as a brilliant guide throughout the process. He showed genuine respect for my work while also being honest and thoughtful with his feedback. My advice, let him guide you. Trust his proc...

I expected a professional assessment of my memoir, Border Haze: A Cold War Illusion, and thoughtful recommendations for improving it. Mikayla gave me much more than that. Her work included detailed comments throughout the manuscript and a comprehensive editorial letter addressing the book as a whole. What impressed me most was how completely the two worked together. The letter identified themes, character arcs, structural patterns, and connections running throughout the manuscript. Her indiv...

Working with Ellie has been an excellent experience. At the beginning, I thought I was simply hiring someone to build a website. As the project developed, I realized she was doing much more than that. She was helping transform my vision into reality. She took the time to understand what I was trying to build and brought professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care throughout the process. She helped shape the website and the digital presence surrounding my book, and I am extremely ...
