Thank you, Jain!! Working with you has been incredibly valuable for me in this early phase of developing my book. Your time and attention offered clarity, accountability, and a renewed sense of confidence. I look forward to continuing to work together!!

Through Reedsy, I shortlisted several professionals to proofread my manuscript and provide copy-editing recommendations. Robin stood out among a high-quality field of proofreaders and copy editors, not only because of his professional experience and platform reviews, but also because of his interest in the subject of my novel. The questions he asked about the story and the direction I had taken with the main protagonist, the French artist Suzanne Valadon, convinced me that Robin was the righ...

Leslie was amazing from start to finish. She was the exact reason I was looking for an editor. I knew I had a great idea and put together a strong product, but her eyes on the project made it even better. She was able to see things in my writing that I was blind to and her suggestions were spot on to fit my writing style and the picture I was trying to frame. It did not feel like she was trying to fit me into her box, but editing in a way that made it fit me. This is my second book and this e...

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

What a gift it was to work with Frances Gilbert. Before accepting an offer, Frances asked questions and communicated clearly with me about what type of editing would work best for my manuscript. Through her edits and feedback, Frances not only had me take a critical look at my work, but also helped me to see what I had been missing all along. Her guidance was equally matched by her professionalism and courteous manner. At the end of our collaboration, I had the tools I needed to make improvem...

Shradha did a stellar job editing my manuscript. She immediately understood the concept behind this project from day 1 through the completion date. She took the rough edges off my original manuscript and thoughtfully added depth, color, and clarity helping to bring out the very best in it. She's a gifted editor, easy to work with, and gave me the confidence to get this project over the finish line. This is especially important for first time book writers like me. I am very grateful for h...

Luisa was phenomenal to work with! She designed my front cover layout and typography, back cover, and interior layout, and every piece came out exactly as I'd pictured it, but better. She's responsive, collaborative, and detail-oriented. She listened closely to my vision, offered smart suggestions I hadn't considered, and caught every little detail. As a first-time author, I was nervous about the design and formatting process, but she made it easy. The final files were organized and clearly...

The whole process was a joy. I have no complaints. Robin is helpful, quick to answer any questions, and above all expert at what she does. Comunication was wonderful. She provided updates all along the way. The work was done on time. It really comes across that she cares for what she does and cares for you and your writing. If I write another book I will be happy to work with her again knowing that she will make the book better.

Jenny was absolutely amazing with my manuscript. She did an incredible job on my proofread and also helped me clean up unclear pieces of my memoir. I really enjoyed learning from Jenny and getting her perspective. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for proofreading, copyediting etc. She's the best!

Working with Kevin has been exceptional! His artwork is amazing and I love the colours, details, and the facial expressions in the characters and illustrations. Kevin responds within a day and is so easy to work with. I was fussy with my characters as I am writing a series and wanted to get my characters the way I wanted them and Kevin worked with me every step of the way with no hesitation. I am so happy, as well as my book designer was, with his work. I am already signing Kevin up for my ne...

Working with Rebecca Allen on my manuscript, The Case of Lord Simon, was an absolute game-changer. This was my first novel and my first time working with an editor, and Rebecca made the entire process feel both professional and approachable—from her clear communication to her thoughtful, meticulous edit. Her copy edit was thorough without being heavy-handed. She strengthened clarity, consistency, and flow while preserving my voice and the historical tone of the book. Her comments were specif...

Ceileigh has been incredible to work with! She took the time to understand what I was trying to accomplish with the story (and the books that will follow) to make sure they will tie together. Her developmental edit shed light on things I had missed touching on, suggestions on how to improve the impact in certain areas, what scenes felt unearned, and provided positive feedback on the things I did well. Since this is my first book I didn't know what to expect, but any expectation I did have she...

I worked with different kinds of editors over the years. Music editors, cinematic editors, narrative editors — they all asked for a very precise labor: take a creation and elevate it in a way the author alone cannot. Sharpen the creator's voice and tighten the structure so the message is delivered clearly. Alexandra is gifted with both rigour, analytical view and deep human observation. She is generous and rigorous — a gift for any author who wants to enhance their creation.

Working with Sakshi was an incredible experience from start to finish. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and patient. Throughout the project, I made numerous requests and scope adjustments, and she handled every change with grace, flexibility, and a positive attitude. Her creativity brought my vision to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and she was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. I truly felt supported through the entire process. I highly recommend ...

Erin was the first professional editor I've worked with. Only started writing about 1 year ago, coming from a completely different long-term career, so had no experience and have had to crash course every angle of this whole writing thing. Erin met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional in every sense of the word, and I do work in another professional environment that isn't writing, so I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect when the word 'professional' is used. S...
