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...

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 Alison was an extremely positive experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and thorough, but what I especially appreciated was her warmth and positive energy. She responded to my questions quickly and clearly. She noticed even the smallest details and helped ensure that the manuscript was clean and consistent. She was patient, thorough, and always willing to take another look whenever something needed to be checked. I would work with Alison again wit...

Kat is a fantastic editor. Knowledgable, insightful, and positive when it comes to making suggestions for enhancement in a constructive, concise, and considered way. She clearly lays out her approach and outlines the timeline, which she delivered against ahead of deadline. She was responsive and really helpful when considering options and I really valued her professional opinion and perspective. Thank you Kat, it's been great working with you.

I cannot express how fantastic, Samantha is! From the very beginning, I knew she was the right person from the job when she said she wanted to read my manuscript. Out of all of the cover designers I had talked to she was the ONLY one who offered to read the book for inspiration. All of our meetings were timely and she provided an abundant of information and resources to guide me through the process. Even when I messed up on my end she was very patient and made the necessary fixes. I cannot w...

James has been incredible to work with. He is exceptionally talented, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with. He made the experience of bringing my book to life both enjoyable and seamless, guiding me through every step of the process. His creative ideas exceeded my expectations, and he truly understood my vision and brought it to life with care and precision. I highly recommend James to any author looking for an illustrator who is both gifted and deeply supportive throughout the creative j...

Stephanie was incredible to work with from start to finish! She was timely, communicative, and made the entire process feel approachable, which was especially important to me as a first-time author navigating professional editing. From the very beginning, she put me at ease and created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and being honest about my concerns. Her feedback was extremely informative and insightful. She didn’t just point out issues, she explained them in a way...

Working with Felicity was great! She was professional, communicative, and extremely helpful. Her feedback was insightful and actionable.

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

I had a great experience working with Aemilia, truly exceeded my expectations and had a sharp eye for identifying areas in my writing that needed attention, presenting me with feedback in a clear and thoughtful way. Throughout the process, Aemilia was professional, friendly, kind, and highly responsive. I felt supported and understood, which made a big difference. I would absolutely recommend Aemilia.

Eric was outstanding to work with and fully justified his value in the editorial guidance he provided me. My manuscript was lengthy and complex: 80,000+, words 150+ references, 60+ exercises, and more than 50 charts and diagrams at the time of draft. It covers a difficult self-help topic that synthesizes a lot of psychology research, my own insights, and newly created exercises to help readers improve themselves. It was in early draft state and Eric was one of the first human readers to set...

I Couldn’t Have Done This Without Rennie! I am so thankful I found Rennie! As a first-time author living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), writing my first book was not an easy journey. I knew the story I wanted to tell, but getting my thoughts onto paper and making everything flow the way I imagined was a real challenge for me. Rennie took my manuscript and turned it into something I never could have imagined on my own. She brought a beautiful flow to my story, connecting my thoughts and ...

I cannot recommend Mikayla highly enough. Her editorial assessment was exceptionally thorough, insightful, and thoughtful. Her feedback was both encouraging and incredibly actionable. She provided a clear, strategic roadmap for strengthening my manuscript while honoring my voice and the story I want to tell. She identified opportunities I hadn't seen, explained the "why" behind her recommendations, and gave me the confidence to tackle revisions with clarity. If you're looking for an editor wh...

Mamie has simplified the process of marketing and made the process a lot less intimidating. When I was first seeking out a professional to assist me, I was afraid I would have to do it in a way I wasn't comfortable with yet at that time, but I never once felt pushed into any avenue that I didn't want to do. She really has taken a load off my shoulders and I've come out of it knowing a lot more than I ever would on my own.

I felt so fortunate to work with Christina. She approached the project with enthusiasm and maintained excellent communication throughout our collaboration, ensuring I was clear on current and next steps. Most notable was her ability to reassure my doubts while gently calling out both the merits and areas needing refinement. In the end, her detailed editorial report left me with a complete understanding of how an objective, keen-eyed reader would view the work.
