Laurie Bernstein is an outstanding editor and professional in the publishing industry. Her credentials are beyond excellent, and she brings her authentic expertise to the work. She is meticulous, patient, and gracious. I handed her a manuscript that was riddled with errors and duplications. She sent me back a manuscript that provided clear directions for possible improvements, encouraged me to think deeply about my message and story, and to keep working toward excellence. Thanks to Laurie. I ...

Working with Izabela was one of the most rewarding creative collaborations I have ever experienced. When I first began this project, I had a manuscript and a vision for how I wanted the book to feel, but I quickly realized that creating a book is about much more than simply placing words on a page. It is about creating an experience for the reader. Izabela understood that from the very beginning. What impressed me most was that she never approached the project as someone simply executing in...

Jim just completed an editorial assessment of my first draft of my first book. He completed this ahead of schedule, and his feedback was positive, constructive, and invaluable. With our follow-up call, I now have a plan to take the manuscript to the next level, with his continued support. I look forward to further collaboration with Jim, and ultimately the successful completion of this book.

Jennifer is my favorite, and she holds a special place in my heart (and author journey) because she is one of the first people who saw the potential in me and my writing! I worked with her several years ago on two children's books, and I told her that when I was ready, I'd bring her a novel worth her experience and time. This WIP is that novel! I am so elated and proud that she is my editor, and I can't wait to work with her again on my next project! She is extremely responsive (always has be...

Lee was a pleasure to work with and did an incredible job on my book. This wasn’t a straightforward project… it’s a book-style journal with a lot of moving parts, interactive elements, and a very specific vision I wanted to bring to life. Somehow, he managed to pull it all together seamlessly. The formatting, layout, and illustrations are spot on, and he made the whole thing flow in a way that looks effortless. On top of that, the cover design nailed the vision I had in my head. I came into...

Working with Nicola has been an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Her creativity, talent, and attention to detail brought my story to life in a way I could only have dreamed of. Every illustration perfectly captured the characters, emotions, and magical moments within the book, adding so much charm and personality to each page. Nicola was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about creating something special. As a first-time author, seeing my words transfor...

Julia was thorough and professional, and provided a range of customised options that delivered on the brief. I was soon able to pick a direction and final design output that was perfect for my book, and Julia was engaged and responsive for the entire process. Thanks for making my book come to life!

Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

Working with Andy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our first Zoom call, he took the time to truly understand the scope of my project while patiently answering all of my questions. His communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. It was always prompt, clear, and professional. I never felt unsure about where things stood, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Andy is not only highly skilled at what he does, but he also brings a level ...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...

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...

I sent my proposal to five editors on Reedsy. David was the only editor who suggested a free sample edit on the first couple of chapters. I can't imagine hiring an editor without first seeing how they edit, how they interact with my material and how they make suggestions. It showed immediately how serious and thorough an editor David is. I was won over straight away after reading David's comments and edits because he pointed things out that had never crossed my mind but which in fact were hug...

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Once again, her structural edit was outstanding. I’ve worked with Rachel multiple times now, and that continuity makes such a difference—she knows my voice, my style, and the heart of my stories, and she edits in a way that enhances my voice rather than reshaping it. Her feedback is meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply insightful. Every suggestion strengthens the narrative, sharpens the emotional arc, and helps the story truly sing. Rachel has an incred...

This is my first time seeking professional editing and writing. Working with Dylan has been fantastic. His edits are comprehensive and have significantly increased my confidence in my writing and manuscript. He has unparalleled responsiveness, attention to detail, and care. I fully intend to work with him on my additional future manuscripts.
