This was my first project through Reedsy, so I was curious to see how it all worked. I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t sure what I wanted my book cover to look like, but after a short chat with Andrea, it all clicked. She understood exactly what I had in mind and brought our ideas to life in the design. I’m very pleased with the final cover. I’d definitely recommend Andrea, and I hope to work with her again.

Incredible, wonderful experience. Ann wrote up a twenty-four page editorial summary of her ideas about my Civil War novel, and gave me specific feedback on every single page of my 117,000 word document, analyzing my work line by line. And she finished right on time! Ann is smart, supportive, and offered me tremendous constructive criticism, especially with plot, pacing, and characterization. I am a history teacher, and TO LIVE A PATRIOT is my first novel. I needed a lot of help. When I hired...

Much can be said about Rachel and her professionalism, collaborations, and insights. But two simple words best describe her: she cares. Cares about her craft, her writers and authors, and the people around her. That's it. Plain and simple. She simply cares. You can feel it in everything she does and says, from her tweaks and edits, to her conversational mentorship, encouragements, and kindnesses. Yes, she simply and genuinely just cares. Period end.

I can't say enough great things about Wesley. As someone with a packed schedule, I was nervous about how hands-on the design process would need to be, but Wesley made it completely effortless. Working with Wesley was one of the best decisions I made for my book. From the very start, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and required minimal direction, a rare quality that made the entire process seamless for a busy professional like me. He picked up on small cues and ran with them, k...

This was my first experience working with an editor. Until then, writing had always been a private pursuit, something I did quietly, for myself. After a few self-publishing efforts, I finally had a project I believed in deeply, one I hoped could reach a much wider audience. Kara’s feedback was so detailed and thorough that it felt like someone had flipped a light switch. Suddenly, I saw my work with fresh eyes. She didn’t just understand my voice and vision. She tuned into the places I had t...

Working with Maite was what I hoped for, and more! Her background in marketing, combined with her tech savvy insight pro tips made for an overall positive experience. She is thorough in her mission to extract information to build you the website you’re looking for. At first I felt overwhelmed by this, but Maite helped me persevere through it. I’m proud of this collaboration, and so happy with the results. She created an inviting, engaging, cohesive, and joyful website for a first time auth...

Allen was a delight to work with. He was thoughtful, creative, and entirely responsive to our needs and feedback. The quality of his work speaks for itself. We couldn't be happier.

Allison proofread my debut novel — a prose-poetry manuscript with unconventional formatting, intentional line breaks, and rhythm that mattered as much as grammar. That's a hard brief for any proofreader: correct the real errors without flattening the style. She got the distinction immediately. Her markup was meticulous (165 items, every one clearly anchored and explained), she separated mechanical fixes from judgment calls so I stayed in control of the voice, and she flagged patterns rather t...

If you are reading this review because, like me a few months ago, you are dipping your toes into getting professional help with your book, then all I can say is DO IT! I read through all of Mark’s reviews, and I knew he was the type of editor I wanted and needed. From the moment I made contact, I felt at ease. He is enthusiastic and genuine, but he doesn’t sugar-coat either. The thing I found with Mark is that he really understands the journey. I do not know the writing world, and I was hone...

Consistently beautiful layouts and total professionalism.Trusting someone with the layout of your book for the third time is an easy choice when they are as talented as Steve. He handles everything from chapter headings to drop caps with incredible precision and care, ensuring a perfect reading experience. Steve is communicative, efficient, and consistently raises the production value of our work. Thank you, Steve, for helping us bring another beautiful book to life!

I worked with different kinds of editors over the years. Music editors, cinematic editors, narrative editors — they all asked for a very precise labor: take a creation and elevate it in a way the author alone cannot. Sharpen the creator's voice and tighten the structure so the message is delivered clearly. Alexandra is gifted with both rigour, analytical view and deep human observation. She is generous and rigorous — a gift for any author who wants to enhance their creation.

As an ESL writer, I am so grateful to have had Val's support. She was incredibly sharp and right on point. Not only did she elevate my manuscript's prose, she also helped me spot my common mistakes. I've learned so much from her edits, and I highly recommend her to any writer—debut or seasoned!

Hiring Dan to copy-edit Seraphant was one of the best decisions I made on this book. The manuscript is 180,000 words across 43 chapters, with a constructed language woven through the prose, layered worldbuilding, and a science-fantasy register that demanded a careful editorial ear. Dan handled all of it. He delivered chapter sets on a reliable Wednesday schedule, communicated cleanly throughout, and tracked global conventions—capitalization, formatting, terminology—across the whole arc with...

Working with Mary Ann was a wonderful experience! She was quick to respond to feedback and did an incredible job of capturing the vibes of my story. I couldn't be happier with how the cover turned out!

Vincent was brilliant. He was meticulous and thorough. He eye for detail was extraordinary. He was also responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. He completed everything early. My book was much better for having Vincent involved. I cannot imagine his not being involved on my next book. Really a great experience. Thanks!
