David is an incredibly talented and imaginative illustrator with a rare gift for bringing ideas to life. He took a concept that felt very difficult to visualize and transformed it into something truly special, far beyond what I had imagined. He immediately understood my vision and created illustrations full of energy, charm, and personality that elevated the entire story. His creativity helped turn the manuscript into a beautiful, engaging short chapter book. On top of his talent, David was ...

Maria was quick and responsive, and her notes, not just on BISACs but general formatting of copy on promotional material, was great! I'll definitely be working with her on future installments of my series.

I approached Mrs. Ridley with a completed manuscript with no idea what to do with it. She took me by the hand and guided me through the whole process. Her professional editing and publishing know-how brought my dream to fruition. I am now a published author with books available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other platforms. I never considered myself an author until I saw the sales. I owe it all to Mrs. Ridley. And just so you know, I'm not done with her. I'm working on a second manusc...

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

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...

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 Lucy was an incredible experience from start to finish. She completed my book on time, and her attention to detail truly elevated the entire manuscript. Her edits were thoughtful, precise, and always respectful of my voice, helping the story feel stronger and more cohesive without losing what made it mine. Beyond the edits themselves, the style sheet Lucy created was especially helpful as it aided me in seeing how my words were being interpreted! I’m so grateful for her profes...

I really enjoyed working with Jonathan on my book. He was professional, responsive, and very attentive throughout the process. He made thoughtful corrections and suggestions, and I felt that my work was in good hands. I’m very grateful for his help and would happily recommend him to others!

Michael is the copilot you want for your book. He’s the Goose to your Maverick. What a wonderful companion to have in this incredibly vast space of editing. I believe him to be sincere and he took his time on the subject matter and heart of my story. There is a soul behind the words we write and Michael catches the essence with a grace and knowledge only few possess. Honestly time is the greatest gift you can give someone. Even if we pay for it, he didn’t hurry through my story. I really enjo...

Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

Working with Jessica was an incredible experience from start to finish. She brought the world of my story to life with warmth, emotion, and professionalism, and the final artwork exceeded my expectations. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and collaborative throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to creative direction while also offering strong artistic instincts that elevated the book beyond what I imagined. Every spread feels cohesive and intentional, and she handled sym...

Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He approached my manuscript with balance of technical precision and genuine care for the story being told. What stood out most was his ability to engage deeply with the intent of the work, not just the mechanics. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, detailed, and respectful. Michael’s communication was clear, encouraging and professional throughout the process. He didn’t just edit the book, he collaborated with it. As...

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

I am absolutely thrilled with the work Debbie has done on my manuscript. Her guidance in identifying and filling gaps in my story has been invaluable. Every suggestion and pointer feels like a masterclass in writing - it's as if she's helped me discover a better writer inside myself. Her insight, encouragement, and attention to detail are making the editing process productive and genuinely inspiring. I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking to take their manuscript to the next l...

Rachel is wonderfully friendly, professional, creative, and highly talented. She works hard to bring your vision to life in a way that is eye catching and aesthetically pleasing and truly captures the essence of your book. She was enthusiastic, helpful, and offered excellent suggestions throughout the process. She was an absolute dream to work with, and I would love to collaborate with her again on my next book. I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.
