This was my first time writing a manuscript and my first time using Reedsy. After hours of research and looking at several editors to choose from, I selected Patty as my editor. I firmly believe that she was the best choice, offering copy editing and line editing as part of the package. Being that Patty is an award winning author and editor, I knew I would be in good hands with her all along the way, and this was the case. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, organized, creative, and rece...

Ceileigh delivered exactly the kind of conceptual editing I was looking for. Lots of things I was too close to the project to catch, lots of things I half-noticed but didn't act on until she caught them, too, (and lots of comments that simply made me feel seen as a writer). I'll likely hire her for my next project, too. Thanks, Ceileigh!

I approached Mrs. Ridley with a completed manuscript with no idea what to do with it. She took me by the hand and guided me through the whole process. Her professional editing and publishing know-how brought my dream to fruition. I am now a published author with books available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other platforms. I never considered myself an author until I saw the sales. I owe it all to Mrs. Ridley. And just so you know, I'm not done with her. I'm working on a second manusc...

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...

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Charles for his excellent work in helping to revise my manuscript. His qualities are many: He was very friendly and personal, which made the communication enjoyable. Of course, his editorial expertise was key to the task at hand. I learned much about writing from him. His suggestions were always relevant, helpful, and challenging too! The memos and document exchanges were very timely, which allowed me to stay on schedule. Charles expressed a keen inte...

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...

Dan has provided me excellent feedback! His recommendations were all thoughtful and highly useful in working towards a final edit. He was fully invested in the story and brought a level of enthusiasm that was highly motivating. He is an easy communicator with a very supportive and helpful manner. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good editor for a non-fiction work.

I loved working with Diletta! She delivered exactly what I asked for, and went above and beyond to provide options and opportunities for collaboration. I would definitely recommend her.

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...

As a first-time author, finding the right editor was a daunting task. You spend years developing an idea, committing to it, and trying to shape it into the best version possible, so handing your manuscript over to someone else is not easy. I was initially a little sceptical about using Reedsy to find an editor, especially for such a personal passion project. I reached out to a few editors, but what stood out to me about Sam was his enthusiasm and attitude from the start. His feedback was war...

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.

I can’t praise Jo too highly. She has helped me to turn my scribbling into something I can now submit to literary agents.

Working with C.J. Redwine was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. She went above and beyond what was originally promised, and the level of dedication, expertise, and care she brought to my manuscript exceeded my expectations. C.J. was incredibly responsive, supportive, and thorough throughout the entire editing process. Her edits and comments did far more than correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure—they helped me see my manuscript from a completely different perspe...

Erin was tremendously helpful. Her very constructive criticism is serious, and because she offers feedback from the POV of both a professional editor/writer, and 12 year old reader (not all editors can do this well), the edit is invaluable. She enabled me to see what wasn’t working, why, and what to do about it. Will be returning to Erin for more help soon.
