Working with Jane Simmonds, really made a difference in my writing. She is kind, professional, timely, and gives really honest feedback, that I found to be supportive. These pages and works we put out, usually come from the heart, and to have that balance between editing for larger groups, and supportive feedback is priceless. I would highly recommend working with Jane. With Aloha, Author E.O. Worth

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!

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

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...

Dear Jesse, Thank you for your vision. You single-handedly transformed my good query letter to an irresistible one. You needled away at my synopsis and brought it to life (I felt emotional reading the synopsis, THE SYNOPSIS!). Folks, don't look any further. Jesse is new here to the Reedsy platform but has decades of high-end, professional editing experience. Hire him. Now. A sincere thank you, Alex Eliscu

Working with Patsy has been a wonderful experience. She checks all the boxes when it comes the usual stuff – talent, professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and communication. But Patsy provides more. She’s inspired and imaginative. She's a full-fledged creative partner. Near the start of our latest project, she said her goal was to bring out the “delightful tenderness” of the story. With those two words, I sensed she understood the emotional spirit of the book better than I ...

Tom was quite prompt, professional, thorough, and felt aligned with me in what I wanted for my book. I reviewed his work along with those of three others and found his touch to be the right level of improvement to the book without acting like he is paid per edit. His pricing was excellent, but the work was worth every penny. There was a fair balanced amount of edits and comments that were positive, encouraging, warning, advisory, and he caught things that I never would have seen, EVER. A++ hi...

Agustin was extremely professional I was really impressed by the quality of his work and the completion of the translation within the time frame established even beating the date by a week. His work was extraordinary to say the least he did an excellent work overall. I can highly recommend his work.

Working with Olga on the Spanish translation of The Anxious Girls’ Guide: Finding Your Calm and the Inner Calm Planner was a truly rewarding experience which I am sincerely grateful for. Olga brought genuine clinical intelligence to a complex project. The Tourist vs. Roommate anxiety framework required more than linguistic skill — it required real clinical understanding — and Olga demonstrated that from the very first sample page. Framework terminology, technique names, and the warm teen-fri...

I expected a professional assessment of my memoir, Border Haze: A Cold War Illusion, and thoughtful recommendations for improving it. Mikayla gave me much more than that. Her work included detailed comments throughout the manuscript and a comprehensive editorial letter addressing the book as a whole. What impressed me most was how completely the two worked together. The letter identified themes, character arcs, structural patterns, and connections running throughout the manuscript. Her indiv...

I had a great experience working with Ian on my book. He designed a really great cover and handled all of the formatting, and his work exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, he was professional, very responsive, and incredibly helpful. It was clear how much effort and care he put into every detail. What I appreciated most was how comfortable he made me feel—he really listened, was open to feedback, and made the process feel smooth and collaborative. I truly enjoyed working ...

I worked with Steph for developmental and line editing (who hasn't left out a few hundred commas here or there...) and I LOVED thier vibe and approach to the whole process from the very start when I sent them a sample of my work. I walked into the process of editing very green (this is my first novel) and Steph was very supportive, constructive and helpful throughout. Steph is very real and authentic in their approach to giving feedback and notes. Also, they're incredibly good at teasing ou...

I am so grateful that I was able to find Philip Bashe to review my manuscript. After reviewing his previous body of work - he was the only person I wanted to provide a copy/line edit for my book. He provided a thorough and exhaustive edit not only on time - but actually two weeks ahead of time to accommodate my own schedule - allowing me to finish my work during a natural break in my own life. More importantly than simply completing the work early, however, he poured an incredible level of...

Where to begin … and where to end? Mathew has exceeded all my expectations in creating an outstanding author website. He not only interpreted my vision and helped me brand myself, to boot, but also had the patience of Job. Mathew has imagination and innate design sense as well as incredible technical skills. He is very generous with his background information and navigated me through the uncharted territory I faced, while advising me on additional book publishing questions, providing invaluab...

Working with C.J. Redwine was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. She went above and beyond what was originally promised, and the level of dedication, expertise, and care she brought to my manuscript exceeded my expectations. C.J. was incredibly responsive, supportive, and thorough throughout the entire editing process. Her edits and comments did far more than correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure—they helped me see my manuscript from a completely different perspe...
