Conni is, to put it simply, incredible. She is professional, communicates timely and meets/beats project deadlines, and she engages on the project fully. This is my first time using such a service, either here on Reedsy or going through this type of process of any kind for publishing a book. I felt comfortable with Conni guiding me through the sequence and significantly helping me produce a better outcome with my manuscript. I would not hesitate to recommend the process and Conni for their se...

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...

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend working with Jamie N. He is a top-notch artist, incredibly talented! His work is some of the finest high fantasy art I've ever seen. He is also incredibly responsive and polite, a pleasure to work with. The work was amazing, and finished ahead of schedule. Moreover, Jamie will go the extra mile. I gave him precise instructions on how I wanted the art to look, and he followed those instructions to the letter. However, when I saw my own idea ...

I am a psychologist, and I was very particular in using my intuition when reviewing editors' profiles to see who I thought would be a good fit. Catherine's profile led me to believe she personally invests in what she is doing, caring and motivated to give something to the world through her work. Catherine exceeded my hopes. My original content was strong, but too dense to keep readers engaged. She helped me streamline the book, maintaining it's essence and my voice while making it less taxing...

I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

I am not a writer and have no experience with writing at this level. So I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked Justin because of his reviews and the thought he put into his response to my inquiry. I was 100% right. I wrote a lengthy explanation of what I was wanting to see and when I received my manuscript back, he incorporated all of those things and more. He really helped me put my memoir into perspective and I will absolutely be returning for a re-read. I would highly recommend Justin to a...

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.

I cannot express how fantastic, Samantha is! From the very beginning, I knew she was the right person from the job when she said she wanted to read my manuscript. Out of all of the cover designers I had talked to she was the ONLY one who offered to read the book for inspiration. All of our meetings were timely and she provided an abundant of information and resources to guide me through the process. Even when I messed up on my end she was very patient and made the necessary fixes. I cannot w...

Katie is a fantastic editor. She sees both the forest and the trees, with a keen eye towards purpose. As a writer, I sometimes get so bogged down in the details of a piece that I struggle to zoom out. Katie identified any and all narrative inconsistencies and ambiguities. My writing is more compelling and persuasive because of her edits. She also has a sharp eye for grammar or wording issues and provides great suggestions. She managed to do all of this on an exceedingly tight timeline. I cann...

This is my second collaboration with Clint, and it was just as easy and seamless as the first time. He again surpassed my expectations and created something that far exceeded what I had imagined for the project. I look forward to working with him again in the spring, and hopefully for many additional projects to come.

I’m a new author, and I came to Jennifer with a 170,000-word manuscript. I knew it was too long, and honestly, I had written it more for myself than for anyone else. Before I went any further with it, I wanted an independent and honest perspective from someone who wasn’t just going to tell me what I wanted to hear. What I really wanted to know was: Is there actually a book here that someone else would want to read? Jennifer gave me exactly what I was looking for. Her developmental letter was...

Exceptional.

Absolutely lovely to work with! Brought my characters to life with care and detail I didn't think possible!

Working with Abbey was a joy. She gave me thoughtful and spot on comments on a global level, as well as pointing out places in in the manuscript where little tweaks could go a long way. Her sense of story is very strong, and my novel will be 1000 times better thanks to her invaluable feedback. Thank you, Abbey, you glorious editor!
