Leslie was amazing from start to finish. She was the exact reason I was looking for an editor. I knew I had a great idea and put together a strong product, but her eyes on the project made it even better. She was able to see things in my writing that I was blind to and her suggestions were spot on to fit my writing style and the picture I was trying to frame. It did not feel like she was trying to fit me into her box, but editing in a way that made it fit me. This is my second book and this e...

I honestly don’t even know where to start. Eric is the perfect collaborative partner. He adjusted his process to work with me, especially since I’m not an editor and my writing style is unconventional and deeply rooted in lived experience. Eric challenged me to think about things I hadn’t considered and served as a brilliant guide throughout the process. He showed genuine respect for my work while also being honest and thoughtful with his feedback. My advice, let him guide you. Trust his proc...

Angela was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely skilled, personable, encouraging, and impressively thoughtful in the way she approaches editorial feedback. Her advice was nuanced, specific, logical, and genuinely convincing, it always felt carefully tailored to my work rather than generic. She has a sharp editorial mind, but she also delivers her insights in a way that feels supportive and motivating. As a fledgling author, I found her guidance invaluable. She has helped me se...

I feel extremely fortunate to have come across David on the Reedsy site. I have been inspired, challenged, enlightened and encouraged by him when I really needed it. David has been fantastic in every way - both highly professional (on time for every call, reasonable deadlines that he always honors, clear notes and feedback) and also warm and personable. David has helped me think through and untangle numerous tricky areas of my manuscript, and offers solutions and insightful suggestions. ...

I've seen some of Octavio's work before and they look amazing but he seriously blew me away with what he did for my project. You can tell he's a trust master of his craft and highly talented. He was also super easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone whose looking for an amazing illustrator.

As a first-time author, I wasn't even really sure what I needed. A proofreader? A content editor? Joy has guided me from the very beginning, offering invaluable information and feedback, sharing her own experiences with the industry, too. It's been a wonderful experience and I am so happy I found Joy.

Karolina was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. She was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly patient while helping bring my project together. Communication was always clear, she was very receptive to feedback and revisions, and she helped navigate the layout and design process with great care and attention to detail. The project itself evolved quite a bit as it developed, and Karolina was always flexible and supportive throughout. I really appreciated her collaborative approa...

What a gift it was to work with Frances Gilbert. Before accepting an offer, Frances asked questions and communicated clearly with me about what type of editing would work best for my manuscript. Through her edits and feedback, Frances not only had me take a critical look at my work, but also helped me to see what I had been missing all along. Her guidance was equally matched by her professionalism and courteous manner. At the end of our collaboration, I had the tools I needed to make improvem...

My project is not finished but up til now all my interactions with Tom have been enormously useful. I chose Tom because he seemed to respond with some actual interest in my story and not with an 'Okay, I could do this." sort of comment. I feel that Tom took the time to get into the tone and spirit of my story. He gave me valuable feedback on what he understood as he read and what was confusing. I don't want to confuse my 8 year old reader! I hope to continue to work with Tom until this p...

Allen is a pleasure to work with: he is thoughtful, imaginative, punctual and experienced (in web design and as a writer). He was very reasonable with his budget request and had always been very clear on what to expect. He was attentive to my wishes (as they evolved throughout the life of the project). He delivered what he promised, and he did it on time and stayed within budget. I will not hesitate to hire him for my new project, and I strongly recommend you do so as well. YR.

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!

Rich Gemmell is an incredibly creative visual storyteller that brought my written manuscript of "Carter's Pond" to life. The colors, line work, and especially the use of light are truly wonderful. Rich created a very strong rhythm and originality in the overall visual flow of the book. His images provide multiple viewpoints, placing readers in a variety of visual perspectives throughout the story. He has an attention to detail that captures the emotional tone of the story and draws your eyes...

Absolutely lovely to work with! Brought my characters to life with care and detail I didn't think possible!

Working with Dora has been an absolute pleasure! In addition to her brilliant work as an artist, Dora has consistently demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness. She took my feedback into careful consideration and created a beautiful piece that truly honored my vision. I am so grateful for collaborating with her on my book cover!

Marina designed my memoir. A private, cloth-bound edition of eight: 220 pages, full color, more than sixty archival photographs, and a printed dust jacket. She did all of it. Interior layout, image restoration, jacket design, endpapers, cloth and deboss specifications. Then she took on the printing herself, found a bindery in England willing to do thread-sewn, blind-debossed cloth at that quantity, and managed the production run and the invoicing. Here is the most important thing I can say a...
