Erin is a fantastic editor. She got the book back to me very quickly with a full markup, an editorial report, and an in-depth guide on what the traditional publishing process would look like for that genre. Because of her previous experience, she's uniquely positioned to teach you not just how to edit your book, but also how to sell it. She's also extremely supportive, offering a call after the fact to help you get to grips with her edits. She doesn't just hand the book back and vanish. In m...

Conni was the developmental editor for my first book, and the experience exceeded what I'd hoped for going in. From our initial kickoff call she was clear about expectations, scope, and timeline, and she held to every commitment she made along the way. Her assessment document was thoughtfully organized and substantive - the kind of feedback that gives you a real path forward rather than a vague sense that something needs work. She had a particular gift for knowing when to push me to narrow my...

Working with Claire has been an incredible experience. She brought such care, insight, and attention to detail to my manuscript, and her feedback was both constructive and encouraging. Claire has a real gift for helping an author bring out the best in their work while ensuring clarity, flow, and consistency. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she went above and beyond to make sure the editing process felt smooth and collaborative. I felt fully supported every step of the way,...

Wow..... With so many impressive, highly experienced and no doubt capable professionals available on Reedsy I found it more than a little challenging to guess/decide who would be the best person to collaborate with and I will be forever grateful that due to luck, intuition or perhaps good old serendipity, I chose Emma and she was available when I needed her most. I had already submitted my MS, (and had it rejected or ignored by) a number of Agents before turning to Reedsy and while I was hopi...

Rennie was an outstanding copyeditor for my 70,000-word memoir. From the get-go, she impressed me. She responded to my quote request quickly with a deeply thoughtful reply that made clear she was genuinely interested in the project. Her communication throughout the project was excellent and she completed the work several days early. In addition to thorough copyediting of the manuscript, she pointed out a few key inconsistencies. The manuscript had gone through developmental edits, and I was u...

David is ***excellent*** to work with! I cannot say enough GREAT things about him. I LOVE the cover he created for my book - I think it is perfect. He is easy to communicate with and responsive to requests. If I could give him 100 stars (instead of the 5 max) I would. David is top notch!

Her effort stands out for its compassion and care in handling difficult material. She approached the subject with a genuine sense of empathy, taking the time to understand the emotional weight of the story and the people behind it. Her ability to grapple with the way the book connects with the audience was extremely valuable, nothing feels forced or exploitative, and the harder moments are treated with honesty and respect. Her ability to relate to complex, military jargonesse, and emotion...

Working with Gary was an absolute game changer in my project. His attention to small mistakes were incredibly helpful for my project to feel smooth and nicer to read. He was incredibly supportive of my project and I am super happy to have worked with Gary and would definitely recommend and would love to work with on future projects.

William is a skilled and insightful editor. His editorial assessment of my novel-in-progress has helped pave the direction for my revision process. He is friendly and professional. Sensitive in his approach to my work, his feedback was encouraging, as well as pointed about where there were weaknesses. His knowledge about structure, POV, and how to develop characters and strengthen plot were invaluable. He has a wealth of experience as an editor and it shows. I would definitely hire William ag...

Working with Robert was an intensive and ultimately rewarding experience. His proofreading pass was meticulous and detail-oriented, and he did not hesitate to challenge areas that could be clearer, tighter, or more precise. Going through his edits was more demanding than I initially expected, but the results speak for themselves. Even though the manuscript was already in strong shape, Robert found meaningful opportunities to refine it further. The book is now significantly stronger, cleaner,...

My writing style is bold, explicit, and twisted, so it can be a challenge to find collaborators who understand and appreciate that. I queried a handful of editors on Reedsy with a sample that included a spicy sex scene. I figured if they could handle that, they could handle everything else in the book. Sure enough, Meredith A. responded quickly and favorably to my sample, and was available and eager to start the copy edit immediately. The cost was fair, and the one-month timeline was reasonab...

If it were possible to give you six stars, we would. Robin was incredibly professional and helpful through the entire process. She went above and beyond in every sense, taking the time to clearly explain what services she offered in clear, plain language, and offered incredibly helpful advice even before we began the collaboration. The report she produced is a fantastic resource that we're going to be referenced constantly. Robin answered our questions quickly, and was always happy to provide...

I had a fantastic experience working with Lucy. Her developmental feedback was very detailed, thoughtful, and constructive. She has a real talent for identifying both what’s working in a story and where it can be strengthened, and she communicates her insights in a clear and encouraging way. She helped me see my work from a completely fresh perspective. Her suggestions felt both practical and inspiring, giving me a clear path forward while still respecting my voice as a writer. I’d highly r...

Working with Martin was one of the most valuable parts of the entire writing process. He delivered a thorough, exacting copy edit of a 77,000-word nonfiction economics manuscript and went considerably beyond the scope of what I contracted for. His notes were direct, honest, and at times bracing in the best way possible. He told me exactly what a paying audience would make of the work, which is precisely what you need at this stage and rarely get. What stood out most was his willingness to en...

Jackie was amazing at developmental editing, really helping me spot my mistakes as a new writer. I genuinely appreciate her expert feedback as an editor for my development. I would suggest her to anyone based on the work she's done with me so far, even though we haven't completed the entire book yet.
