Where beautiful
books
are made

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.

Sarah is the platonic ideal of an editor. As a writer, it can be difficult to navigate feedback while trying to stay true to your ~artistic vision~. The beauty of Sarah's editing work is that it is so in-depth you can just feel she is giving her all to trying to understand what the book is trying to do and being completely honest (in the kindest way) about what it needs to get there. You can also feel a big, beating heart at the center of her feedback: her love for books and good storytelling...

Nina is an outstanding editor. Professional, friendly, and an expert in her field. Not only did she help with editing my query, she's given me excellent career advice. I will continue to work with her on other projects.

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...

Ragav did an outstanding job editing my book. He is incredibly articulate, and his deep industry knowledge was evident in every edit he made. Beyond the technical work, our telephone conversations were highly productive and felt very sincere. His recommendations were constructive and non-judgmental, providing the encouragement I needed to take my writing to the next level. Ragav is a wonderful person whose kindness shines through in both his written comments and his voice. I will definitely b...

I knew after working with Lucia on my first manuscript, I would want to hire her for my second novel. Lucia is incredible at her job. Her communication is clear, the edits she provided were thorough, and I can say with 100% certainty that my book wouldn't be polished and ready for publication without her.

I came to her with a manuscript that was ambitious, contrarian, and structured in a very specific way. As an author, you often fear that an editor will try to flatten your voice or force your unique structure into a standard box. Kimberley did the exact opposite: she entered my world completely. From day one, she treated the project not just as a job, but as a partnership. She took the time to deeply understand the "heartbeat" of the book—why certain sections needed to be contemplative and o...

This is my second collaboration with Clint, and it was just as easy and seamless as the first time. He again surpassed my expectations and created something that far exceeded what I had imagined for the project. I look forward to working with him again in the spring, and hopefully for many additional projects to come.

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...

Getting helpful advice from Vicky on how to market my books in the UK has been an amazing experience. Vicky certainly went the 'extra mile ' to ensure that I had all the information I needed to push my books out into the marketplace where they belong. Helpful and so full of useful ideas - these materials are giving me the assistance I needed. An real 'expert' helping others - well done, Vicky - thank you so much for your help.

I cannot sing enough praise about Irene. Her designs were pitch-perfect from the start—in fact, I am using every concept she presented. Most importantly, she is not an ego-driven designer. I wanted to adjust several small elements in the original design, and instead of resisting the changes, she immediately understood how they supported the feeling and tone I wanted for The Love You Bring. She embraced the collaboration and refined the work beautifully. She was also a joy to work with, whic...

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

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...

Working with Allan was one of the best decisions I made for my book. I came to him with a vision, a lot of ideas, and a manuscript that meant a great deal to me. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and then took it in a creative direction beyond my expectations. He didn't just design the interior of Design Schooled - he elevated it. Allan is exceptionally talented, responsive, and always delivered on time. Throughout the process, I felt completely confident that my project was in...

I can’t praise Jo too highly. She has helped me to turn my scribbling into something I can now submit to literary agents.
