The work I requested was completed satisfacotorily and done sooner than the assigned due date. I feel like I got my money's worth!

I've seen some of Octavio's work before and they look amazing but he seriously blew me away with what he did for my project. You can tell he's a trust master of his craft and highly talented. He was also super easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone whose looking for an amazing illustrator.

The proof of my admiration for and gratitude to Jaime is the “Special Acknowledgement” of him that will go in the Spanish edition of my book, which reads as follows: “It was essential to me to have a Spanish version of my book. I wanted this vital, amazing and diverse community to have an opportunity to read the story in their own language. That required a translation as fluent and sensitive to Spanish speakers as I tried to achieve in the original for English speakers. I am deeply indebted t...

I was looking for an editor who specialised in memoir. When I read Kelly's reviews I instinctively knew she would do a good job. This is my first book and I'm navigating self-publishing with some trepidation. Kelly was always very supportive, for instance helping me get to grips with Tracked Changes which was new to me. Kelly went above and beyond what I expected of a copy editor and I am incredibly grateful for her insight and suggestions. Stepping out of Silence is greatly improved as a r...

Working with Ed was absolutely fabulous, from the moodboard he sent me immediately with ideas for my cover to the three potential covers themselves and right along in the process until we picked a final cover and colors and he completed it. He is a consummate professional, totally responsive, and incredibly talented. I finally have the sort of cover I've been wanting for one of the books in my mystery series ever since I started writing them. The finished cover is so gorgeous that I can't sto...

Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, strong design judgment, and clear communication throughout the entire process. Deliverables were completed on time, exceeded expectations, and were thoughtfully executed across both cover and interior files. Her responsiveness and professionalism made the collaboration smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Megan to any author looking for high-quality, reliable design ...

Paul was an invaluable member of my team to get my book out in a timely, professional, and powerful way. He stuck to deadlines, was very responsive, and had great feedback. Without Paul's expertise and abilities, I don't know how I would have gotten this book out! When I write another book, I will certainly be calling him!

A deeply embodied, life-altering experience. Imagine an author finding it hard to express this experience in words!! That's how powerful it has been. I'm so grateful to Kate in helping me to shape my very first memoir, holding my story with so much compassion and reflecting back to me what I am capable of. I would absolutely do it all over again.

Wendy is an exceptional developmental editor. She is thoughtful, precise, and deeply respectful of the emotional heart of a story. Her feedback on my memoir was transformative. She immediately understood the core of the narrative and offered concrete, high-level structural guidance that helped me see the entire arc more clearly. Her suggestions on pacing, chapter framing, and narrative tension were invaluable, and her comments struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge. ...

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

Dora has produced eleven drawings all of excellent quality making sense of my script and often working without one. Her drawings bring life to my script and add meaning, Dora always worked in a cooperative friendly manner and was always amenable to any changes or alterations I asked for. I would certainly ask her to work for me again and would recommend her to anyone.

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...

Veronica did an outstanding job bringing the vision for Social Media Melted My Brain (and I Still Pressed Post) to life. From the very beginning, she understood the tone and message behind the book and translated that vision into a bold, eye-catching design that perfectly captures its humor and commentary. Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to take abstract ideas and turn them into visually engaging artwork made the entire process feel seamless and collaborative. What impressed...

My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

Gale was a delight to work with. Everything was done on time as per the schedule I agreed to. She is completely professional. She not only gave helpful critiques on my work but also sent extra articles and sample queries, etc. that were useful to me. She answered all my questions and was pleasant and friendly. I would love to work with her again.
