Emily was a complete joy to work with. She was prompt, communicative, and exceptionally organized throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she made what could have been a complex formatting project feel seamless from start to finish. I always felt informed, supported, and confident that the book was in capable hands. I would happily work with her again and highly recommend her to any author looking for a skilled and reliable formatter.

Working with Matthew was a terrific experience. He was communicative, professional, and deeply attentive to detail. I always felt he was invested in the success of my project, and he brought valuable knowledge from his background that helped him maintain sharp focus on the particulars of mine. Matthew caught tiny errors that had eluded me multiple times, offered suggestions for clarity with my audience in mind, and ensured everything aligned with my publisher’s expectations. He delivered ahea...

Do it. Hire Ben. Ben is a marketing expert who excels in communication and creativity. He is supportive throughout the entire process. I had three sessions with him, all of which were extremely helpful. He provided plenty of follow-up conversations to ensure everything went smoothly with my marketing efforts. I highly recommend him, especially if this is your first crack at publishing a book.

I'm not really a reviewer. But a couple of things need to be said. I came to Tom for a line-edit and an editorial assessment on my debut thriller. What I got was that — and to my own surprise, much more. The obvious part: his read was sharp, honest, and useful at every level, from individual word choices and verbal tics I'd stopped being able to see, all the way up to structure, pacing, and how to build an antagonist. Nothing was vague. Every note was something I could actually act on. Bu...

I've worked with developmental editors before, but nothing like Hannah. She invested herself in my story, and the letter and manuscript she gave me had a perfect scaffolding for everything I could change and add. She wasn't a critic; she was a director, pulling out my talents, telling me when she wanted more, and politely marking areas for quick correction. She gave me confidence in what I was doing well and encouragement to dispel a lot of my personal doubts. I'm certain that if I follow her...

Working with Lia was such an incredible experience. My memoir manuscript has evolved from jumbled, stream-of-consciousness storytelling to more streamlined, vivid, and concise. Given that I'm a first-time author, I wanted to work with someone who would give honest feedback while also highlighting what I'd done well already. Lia went above and beyond to provide insight on how I could make my writing better and left positive commentary throughout, too. She always responded quickly to inquiries,...

Robin provided an exceptional directional edit/review of my story. Her insights were on point and very useful. She broke out her comments in an easy-to-understand format that touched on every area of concern and provided examples of my work versus alternatives. Critically, she provided input on character POVs, which I really hadn't even considered. She also provided a recap/action plan for me to follow. Very well done. I will definitely use Robin again on future projects.

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

After an excellent coaching session with Kim, I then had her edit my first book. I learned a great deal from Kim, and she did an amazing job with my book. Kim is both friendly and professional, and I would recommend her.

Emma is an amazing person to work with. She is extremely communicative, prompt, and provides excellent advice that really takes your story to the next level. Her professionalism and skills are top of the line, and I plan to work with her for future projects!

My experience with Scott exceeded every expectation. After implementing his edits, I submitted my manuscript to literary agents, and several requested the full manuscript. I highly recommend his editing services and would gladly work with him again.

Nvard is an outstanding artist. Her portfolio immediately appealed to me for the clarity of the visual language and her mastership in using typography as central part of the design. Interaction with her has been a pleasure and has been extremely productive. Her advice was to the point, the delivery of the material timely, and her willingness to go through iterations was extremely helpful. The results exceeded my expectations and I learned a lot during the process.

Wow..... With so many impressive, highly experienced and no doubt capable professionals available on Reedsy I found it more than a little challenging to guess/decide who would be the best person to collaborate with and I will be forever grateful that due to luck, intuition or perhaps good old serendipity, I chose Emma and she was available when I needed her most. I had already submitted my MS, (and had it rejected or ignored by) a number of Agents before turning to Reedsy and while I was hopi...

I initially reached out to Julie because of her experience with military history and religion—both critical aspects of my book—but was soon struck by her attention to detail across the breadth of my story’s concerns. I felt at once as though a fellow traveler had happened across my dig-site, understood what I was up to, and pitched in to help. One moment I’m brushing away dirt and debris from some bewildering artifact, extracting those pieces that might otherwise comprise the whole, and the n...

Mark has helped me with multiple projects from book covers, to inside formatting, to social media ads. He's exceptional ... a real pro. His attention to detail is meticulous. In addition to being a creative genius, he's easy to work with and makes you feel like you have a true partner who cares about your project as much as you do. A value he ads is that he's very familiar with the publishing world and anticipates potential issues and makes certain you are completely ready to go on launch day...
