Working with Luisa was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a first-time author, the publishing process felt overwhelming at times, but Luisa made it so much easier. She was incredibly clear, communicative, and supportive throughout every step of the project. From the beginning, Luisa took the time to truly understand my vision and the overall objective of my children's book. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped me make informed decisions with confidence. I...

All I can say is wow! Mark went above and beyond and I am incredibly happy with my cover. He was a consummate professional from the outset. His response to my request for bids was another level compared to his competitors who also responded. He understood my book and what I was trying to convey. The cover design did an amazing job communicating that. I used to be a graphic designer and so I was pretty nitpicky about minor changes. Mark handled my requests with grace and speed. We had a seamle...

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

Patsy produced such a gorgeous design for my upper middle-grade historical novel! This is a challenging category to illustrate because covers need to show the book is for young people without looking too childish, and showcase the historical setting while still looking "cool" to tween readers. Patsy took the time to read my manuscript, research the culture and then produced a design that exactly captured the atmosphere of the book. Over the weeks that we worked together, she was consistently...

Lyz is AMAZING. I have never met someone as efficient, communicative, and dedicated as Lyz. She flew out to my office and spent hours of her own time, including part of her weekend, to truly understand me, my story, and the voice behind my book. We gave her an incredibly tight deadline, and she immediately understood the assignment and exceeded every expectation. Her ability to listen, adapt, and bring ideas to life is unmatched. She took the time to deeply understand my vision and translate...

Chet was a professional talent on so many levels and I could not have had a better experience. He made me feel safe and secure with our discussions, navigated me through the process, and offered very strategic advice and/or edits without making me feel pressured. We were able to have a warm yet professional relationship too which I think is very important for the end product. Chet is a strong recommend - his talent is incredible and without him, would not have had the confidence to bring thi...

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! He took our daughters ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded all of our expectations. Every illustration was beautifully detailed, full of personality, and perfectly captured the heart of the story. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. He was professional, responsive, patient with revisions, and genuinely cared about creating the best possible final product. His creativity, talent, and atte...

I consider Maite of Copper Fox a champion in my career as a writer. That is how powerful she is. She combines hard-won expertise in brand story, strategy, and design with deep knowledge of an author's branding, readership, and book sales. Every step was explained to me. Every piece of the strategy was outlined for me. Though I am thrilled with the incredible look and feel of my website, I also feel confident knowing that this site checks all the strategy boxes, designed to tell the right stor...

Lynne is a fantastic writing coach. She is a natural teacher and honed in quickly on key issues with my draft novel and how to address them. Lynne's insight and advice is helping tremendously as I revise my draft--elevating my understanding of storytelling and my confidence. These are lessons I never learned in a creative writing course at university, but I wish I had. She provides such clarity that her suggestions seem natural and obvious afterwards--but the fact is, I never would have ar...

Working with Alan Hebel on the cover for Effortless Clarity was a great experience from start to finish. He was highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. He stayed flexible as ideas evolved and was open to feedback, which made it easy to iterate and refine the direction. What I appreciated most was how smooth he made the process. There was a good balance between bringing his own perspective and incorporating what I was looking for. The end result is a ...

Scott copyedited my 131,000-word science fiction novel, the first book in a planned series, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The mechanical work was flawless: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and a comprehensive style sheet for my invented terminology that I’ll now use across the entire series. But what set Scott apart was everything beyond the commas. He tracked plot logic across 43 chapters, catching moments where a villain’s choices needed stronger motivation, wher...

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...

Working with David was incredibly rewarding. I am a first-time author and he took the time to explain some core things, as well as doing an amazing job editing my work. I really appreciated his support and found him to be very responsive. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

James is a fantastic editor. He did a developmental edit of my first novel, helping me develop and build confidence in my writing skills. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and meticulous in his attention to the logic and resonance of every sentence, while also keeping me focused on the overarching structure and tone of the story. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to work with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.
