Jessica did an absolutely phenomenal job with the soft copyediting phase of my manuscript, Going Beyond. As an independent author, I wanted to ensure my sentence flow and grammar were highly polished while keeping my authentic human voice and personal stories completely intact. Jessica achieved this balance perfectly. She has a meticulous eye for detail, structural consistency, and tone. She was incredibly professional, highly organized, and always encouraging throughout our collaboration. He...

Working with Joe has been an outstanding experience. His deep understanding of the full writing and editing process, combined with his responsiveness and thoughtful problem‑solving, made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. He’s easy to collaborate with and consistently added value at every step. I highly recommend connecting with him to discuss your book project. Thank you, Joe, for all your hard work — it truly made a difference. Martin

Ragav is wonderfully insightful, productive, and motivating. He quickly understood my goals and delivered an expert edit that was thorough, precise, and constructive. He assumed role of coach, peer, and editor all at once. Mostly, he champions and cares about the work and the author in equal measure.

At first I thought George was too good to be true, but he went above and beyond my expectations. I've worked on my debut novel for years. Draft after draft trying to get it to be the story I saw in my head. My beta readers all loved it, but said, "They wanted something more from the characters." I couldn't figure out what they were trying to tell me. Enter George, who put into words everything they meant and allowed me to have my "OHHHHHHH THAT'S IT!" moment. Then he did more. He treated my w...

Ranna did an outstanding job on my book cover and all of my interior design. I loved getting to work with her and see my ideas come to life through her skills and art. Not only is she super talented she is very kind and helps integrate your feedback seamlessly and ensures you love your final product. I would 100% go with Rannia for all cover needs, interior design etc. She is actually doing my second book as well because I loved the experience so much. Thankful is an understatement!

Vicki was extremely professional and from day one she understood our concept and engaged with our book. Her ideas were great and she has created the perfect cover for our book - The Dash of Life. She is easy to work with, great at communicating and has been instrumental in making this an exciting and enjoyable project.

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...

Grace is amazing. I feel like anything else I follow up with will lessen this fact. She is quick. She is dependable. She's encouraging but also critical (in a fair way) and is easy to get a hold of. I will definitely be knocking on her door when my next project is ready.

Working with Rachel on BIG A: Affordable Housing was one of the best decisions I made as a first-time author. I came into this process knowing my subject matter, but not knowing all the ins and outs of turning that knowledge into a polished, professional book. Rachel guided me through every step. She was far more than an editor. She made thoughtful suggestions that strengthened the book while respecting my voice and what I wanted BIG A to be. She helped me understand formatting, organization...

Barbara was fantastic to work with on the copy edit for my book. Her turnaround time was excellent, and she consistently asked thoughtful questions that pushed the manuscript to be clearer and stronger. Communication throughout the project was easy and responsive, and I always knew where things stood. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sharp, attentive copy editor.

It was a pleasure to work with Kristen. She was very communicative and responsive to questions etc. Her edits were spot-on, and the notes she made really pushed my thinking and improved the final product.

Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with and exceeded my expectations in every way. As a first-time author and first-time Reedsy user, I really appreciated how responsive, thorough, and helpful he was throughout the entire process. He provided thoughtful feedback that truly elevated my book in ways I could not have accomplished on my own, while also making the entire editing process feel manageable and collaborative. He was worth every penny—and then some! His rates were incredibly reasona...

I can't recommend Sam highly enough. His editorial assessment of my thriller was everything I needed - thorough, insightful, and delivered with the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. Sam treated me as a fellow writer rather than just a client. He gave me confidence in the strengths of my manuscript while fearlessly challenging the structural issues that needed addressing. His critique of the ending has definitely given me work to do, but he was absolutely right to pick up on it,...

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

Angela did a phenomenal job editing my novel. Her notes were sharp, thoughtful, and consistently elevated the manuscript in ways that felt both intuitive and expertly guided. She has an exceptional grasp of voice, pacing, and clarity, and her suggestions around narrative consistency were exactly what the book needed. Her line edits were precise, her developmental comments insightful, and the whole experience showed me why she’s so highly regarded. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she bro...
