Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

I couldn’t recommend Rebecca more highly as a developmental editor. She started with a one-to-one meeting to really understand the heart of the project before touching a single page — and that investment showed in everything that followed. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the story I was trying to tell, not a generic template. Beyond the big-picture developmental advice, she went through the manuscript line by line, adding comments and suggestions directly onto...

Finding the right editor makes all the difference, and this is she! This collaboration was the best investment I could have made in my manuscript. She completed a line edit that included a one-hour video editorial consultation, as well as a review of my query letter and synopsis. The takeaways were immensely helpful. The inline comments in the manuscript provided such valuable insight through the eyes of a reader and a critic. Her feedback was objective while being highly attuned to the s...

Peter was excellent to work with throughout the editorial process for Governance by Design. He presented as a professional, thoughtful and communicative with brought a high level of editorial expertise to the project process. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to strengthen clarity, flow, structure, and readability while still preserving my authentic voice and the deeper themes woven throughout the book. The subject matter often involved complex ideas around governance, le...

Rebecca is a skilled editor. Before the process began, she met with me on Zoom to ask if there were any specific areas I wanted her to focus on. She carefully reviewed my manuscript and offered clear, incisive suggestions throughout. She also provided a detailed 2½-page editorial memo that gave a helpful “big picture” view—offering encouragement, highlighting what was working well, and noting areas to consider revising, such as maintaining more consistent chapter length. Rebecca checked in ...

Working with Daniel was one of the best decisions I made during the production of my book. He went far beyond what I initially expected from a formatter and became an important creative partner in bringing the final book to life. The interior of the book turned out beautifully, and much of that is the result of Daniel’s exceptional eye for design. He selected a theme and visual direction that perfectly complemented the story and gave the book the polished, professional appearance I was hopin...

I congratulate myself for hiring Lisa to write an editorial assessment of my self-help manuscript for fellow people with disabilities. My interaction with her were professional and warm. As part of her recommendations, she confirmed some of my instincts about what might have to be reworked, and some new aspects that I couldn't see for having been so close to my work for a long time, This helped me decide that teaming up with an editor who has more distance from it, and all the writing and pub...

Working with Marian was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. She is incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. No question ever felt too small, and she was always happy to explain things and offer guidance. She truly understood my vision and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. She never hesitated to make changes or adjustments and was so thoughtful and collaborative throughout the process. I always felt heard a...

Working with Molly has been such a wonderful experience. Because this memoir is so deeply personal to me, trusting someone else with my story felt like a big step. From the very beginning, she handled my words with such care, thoughtfulness, and respect. She understood what I was trying to say, honored my voice, and offered guidance that made my manuscript stronger without ever making it feel less like mine. I came away from this experience feeling encouraged, confident, and even more excite...

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

Working with Erin has been an absolute joy. She is a truly great professional — thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly thorough. Her editorial feedback on The Brayhill Chronicles was clear, constructive, and full of care. Erin managed to highlight exactly what needed refining while keeping my confidence in the story intact. She gave me more than one real lightbulb moment — those “of course!” insights that instantly make everything click. What I appreciated most was her ability to point out th...

It's hard to imagine a better editor or a better editorial experience than I've had with Lisa. Her attention to every detail is phenomenal, and her thoughtful suggestions made for a better book in every way. Highly recommended!

I have worked before with Reedsy editors on a different writing project. Their editors have always been excellent professionals. However, Frances went above and beyond. She is a superb editor not only because of her excellent editing skills but for the manner in which she provides feedback to the writer. Her feedback is specific, timely, and constructive. Her ideas for improvement build upon the writing and the intent behind the writer’s story. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with a...

I have been a professional freelance writer for more than 30 years, so I have high expectations. I understand how to win business and deliver results. Cindy provided A++ service. She was professional and responsive, met the deadlines (delivering early in one instance) and I valued her input and corrections. I also appreciated that she sent a preliminary edit on my 2K word quote submission (without me asking for it) so I could get a sense of how she'd approach the job. No one else was willing ...

Susan is the consummate professional; she communicates well, seeks to understand the author's intent and is an excellent editor. She has the rare ability to simplify and translate technical concepts, making them more accessible to readers. Highly recommended.
