Claire is treasure. Having a chance to collaborate with an author of this calibre has been incredibly helpful to me. She knows the industry inside out, but what I wasn’t expecting was how much she cares. Even with some unexpected issues on my side, she has been exceptionally professional and accommodating. She took my story apart, offered brilliant insights, and helped me step back from my own project to see it with more objectivity. Highly recommended!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Eva. Excellent translation. Highly recommended!

Janan is a fantastic book coach. She demonstrates strong range to understand complicated projects and concepts. Her communication skills make the work efficient, and easier to understand.

Raul was extremely easy to work with. Very quick to respond to any question or concern that I had. His concepts for my cover were well thought out and absolutely beautiful. It was difficult to pick one from the five he presented. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Working with this editor was an excellent experience. Communication was prompt and professional, and the feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and delivered on time. I would gladly work with this editor again and highly recommend them to other authors.

Working with John was one of the best decisions I made during this project. His feedback didn’t just improve the manuscript, it materially elevated the entire book. The story is genuinely ten times better than it was before his edit. What impressed me most was his attention to both the big picture and the small details that directly impact the reader experience. One example: I had unintentionally given several characters the same name. John caught it immediately and flagged it as a potential...

Sophie is amazing. She provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on all areas of my writing. She was extremely responsive and thorough in her review. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Martha was instrumental in bringing my project to fruition. She fulfilled the projects guidelines and went beyond expectation. She completed the project earlier before the deadline. Her work is professional and of the highest standard one can expect. Worth every penny. You can trust her to delivery any project to a client's specification. She won't let you down. Thank you. I will be using Martha for future projects now that we've built trust and now that I found her. She's like gold dust. Tha...

Ceileigh delivered exactly the kind of conceptual editing I was looking for. Lots of things I was too close to the project to catch, lots of things I half-noticed but didn't act on until she caught them, too, (and lots of comments that simply made me feel seen as a writer). I'll likely hire her for my next project, too. Thanks, Ceileigh!

Ty is incredible at identifying weak points in your manuscript and pinpointing what needs to be reworked. He is very responsive and friendly. The editorial letter for a developmental edit was 13 pages of insight and broken into next steps, which was helpful and reduced the feeling of being overwhelmed with information. The video call was immensely positive for clarifying points and troubleshooting possible changes, and the follow-up summary was priceless.

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 Josiah was an exceptional experience. As a Latino author writing a novel deeply rooted in Mesoamerican mythology and cultural perspectives, I was genuinely impressed by how well he understood my world, my characters, and the voice behind the story. He approached the manuscript with respect, clarity, and a remarkable ability to read not just the text, but the cultural heartbeat beneath it. His feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and delivered with kindness. He identified struct...

Was very helpful in bringing my story to life even though it was a mess she did a really good job in helping me to sort it out. Will be working with her again to further develop my story c:

Working with C.J. was an exceptional experience. She approached my manuscript with discernment, compassion, and an evident respect for both my voice and the audience I hoped to serve. Her editorial feedback was thoughtful, comprehensive, and remarkably constructive. She identified opportunities to strengthen the manuscript while preserving the heart and purpose behind my writing. Her guidance helped me develop a more cohesive, substantive, and meaningful book. I am deeply grateful for the car...

Working with Tiffani was a fantastic experience. Her line edit was precise and insightful, strengthening the prose while preserving the voice and rhythm of my novel - something that mattered enormously to me. She spotted repetition patterns and sentence-level clunkiness I hadn’t seen, and her suggestions tightened and clarified the writing without flattening its personality. My manuscript is unquestionably stronger as a result. Professional, perceptive, and a genuine pleasure to collaborate ...
