Ashley was fantastic to work with for my developmental edit! He was extremely helpful and professional, was prompt with returning messages and with completing his work. He provided great advice, clarification and outside-the-box ideas to help make my manuscript MUCH tighter and cleaner in the end. I would absolutely work with him again in the future!

Working with Luisa was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a first-time author, the publishing process felt overwhelming at times, but Luisa made it so much easier. She was incredibly clear, communicative, and supportive throughout every step of the project. From the beginning, Luisa took the time to truly understand my vision and the overall objective of my children's book. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped me make informed decisions with confidence. I...

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.

Working with Bonnie has been an incredibly great experience. I’m truly grateful for her support in bringing one of my dream projects to life. Throughout the entire process, I deeply appreciated her expertise, kindness and genuine enthusiasm for creating something beautiful together. Collaborating with her allowed me to fully relax into her professionalism and trust her work completely. She had a wonderful way of supporting my ideas, thoughtfully challenging me when needed and introducing fr...

Louise is pure gold. She found things I never would have seen—backwards apostrophes, others that lost their curl (how does that even happen?), missing commas, even a graphic or two. When you've read your own book so many times your eyes are starting to cross, and you're weighing whether you even need a proofreader—because surely, it must be perfect by now—call Louise. She really is the last set of eyes needed in the publishing process.

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...

Charlie is proof that even in our rapidly changing world that nothing beats a human artist. Our collaboration was seamless. Charlie was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He read my manuscript, which at first I found surprising, but that attention to detail enabled him to translate my words and characters that I've only pictured in my head into a beautiful manifestation as my book's cover. I am in awe of the cover he produced and look forward to being able to ...

James is a fantastic editor. He did a developmental edit of my first novel, helping me develop and build confidence in my writing skills. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and meticulous in his attention to the logic and resonance of every sentence, while also keeping me focused on the overarching structure and tone of the story. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to work with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I am incredibly grateful to Dave for his deep involvement in the creative process; it is truly the best experience an emerging author could hope for. All his feedback was given in an exceptionally respectful and constructive manner. He highlighted the manuscript’s strengths, which was vital for maintaining motivation during the early stages. Dave wasn't intimidated by the complexity of a multi-layered, hybrid-genre story. He didn't try to simplify the narrative or force it to appeal to a mas...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

Working with Cynthia has been one of the most rewarding parts of my writing journey. She brought clarity, precision, and genuine insight to every stage of the edit. Her developmental feedback strengthened the structure and emotional core of my story, and her line edits elevated the prose in ways I could feel immediately. She has an incredible gift for seeing both the big-picture narrative and the fine-grained details that make a scene sing. What impressed me most was her ability to understan...

Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with and exceeded my expectations in every way. As a first-time author and first-time Reedsy user, I really appreciated how responsive, thorough, and helpful he was throughout the entire process. He provided thoughtful feedback that truly elevated my book in ways I could not have accomplished on my own, while also making the entire editing process feel manageable and collaborative. He was worth every penny—and then some! His rates were incredibly reasona...

Working with Kelly was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I had already run my manuscript through multiple editing programs and thought it was in pretty good shape, but Kelly still found countless errors, inconsistencies, and opportunities for improvement that I had completely missed. The book read and flowed so much better after her improvements. What impressed me most was how meticulous and thorough she was throughout the entire process. Not only did she carefully edit the manu...

It was a pleasure working with Raúl. His design way exceeded my expectations, and his commitment to the project was truly admirable. I appreciate that he adapted very well to my suggestions and took into consideration my book's contents to deliver the best cover. His timeliness and the value of his work are worth noting. I will definitely work with him in the future. Thank you for everything!

I think the first of many amazing attributes of Nathan is that he is selective about those with whom he will collaborate. Even though he was one of the five persons I pitched to help me, and he said yes, after that he really did his homework on me, to get a sense for me, and make sure I was legitimate (especially important for the type of work I published). He has the accolades and prior experience in my genre (climbing, adventure) and this was evident from his various published works. Fro...
