With Travis you're getting a true pro and - importantly - candor. His feedback is direct, honest, and fair and immensely helpful whether looking at minor copy edits, structural emphasis, or the big picture of storytelling. He's got a great eye for what can take the story to the next level and I'm confident that he significantly elevated not just my work but my understanding of the craft.

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...

Cyndi is an exceptional illustrator and amazing to work with. The process was very straight forward and her work is always the highest quality. Although I never had too much input--because everything was initially amazing--when I did have ideas, Cyndi was able to incorporate them with no issues at all and in a timely manor. I had a vague idea of the world that I wanted visually represented, but Cyndi had much more of a vision. She really helped create the world and bring to life a unique pe...

I hired Ciera to do a final proofread on my novel, after two other editors had their eyes on it. Well, she found the mistakes they missed, and she ensured my work was a professional product. She was responsive, delivered ahead of time, and gladly looked at two additional scenes I had rewritten. She's a pro and every author needs someone like Ciera to check their work.

Shanika is an amazing editor!! She's bright and kind. Her editorial letter was incredibly helpful and paired with her comments on the manuscript itself helped me take my novel to the next level. I highly recommend her!

I can't say enough good things about Helen. She was an absolute dream to work with and provided a thorough, insightful review of my manuscript, along with practical suggestions that genuinely improved the story. Helen understood exactly what I was trying to achieve and her feedback strengthened the manuscript while still preserving my voice. Her comments were thoughtful, encouraging and incredibly professional, and it was clear she had invested real time and care into the project. In fact, ...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...

If it were possible to give you six stars, we would. Robin was incredibly professional and helpful through the entire process. She went above and beyond in every sense, taking the time to clearly explain what services she offered in clear, plain language, and offered incredibly helpful advice even before we began the collaboration. The report she produced is a fantastic resource that we're going to be referenced constantly. Robin answered our questions quickly, and was always happy to provide...

Working with Raúl on the cover design for my children's book was an absolute pleasure. As a first time author, I wasn't entirely sure what I was looking for, but Raúl had a remarkable ability to translate my ideas into something truly beautiful. The final result exceeded every expectation I had. What set Raúl apart was his thoughtful, collaborative approach. Rather than simply delivering a finished product, he took the time to develop several distinct proposals, each one carefully considered ...

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.

Katie is a marketing pro! Data driven, clear guidance, incredibly helpful to self-publishing authors. Knowing how to well doesn't mean knowing how to sell well. That's a different discipline and, frankly, an art in itself. Katie provided the know-how that I was lacking. I have a clear vision, a clear plan, and confidence that I am not just shooting from the hip as it pertains to marketing my book. I loved her customized powerpoint as an actual deliverable. Well worth every penny I spent.

Ian is a meticulous editor, worth every penny you’d spend on editorial. Even though I hired Ian only to do copy edits, he put in the extra effort to proofread and also give some inputs on developmental level. Every comment he makes goes a long way in making my manuscript better. His impeccable work shows how much he cares for the manuscript and your story. His work not only improves my manuscript but also teaches me to be a better writer. My only regret is not involving Ian sooner in my work....

Working with Mary Ann was a wonderful experience! She was quick to respond to feedback and did an incredible job of capturing the vibes of my story. I couldn't be happier with how the cover turned out!

Jay Antani is an exceptional developmental editor. His feedback is insightful, clear, and consistently elevates the work without ever overshadowing the author’s voice. He has a rare ability to identify both the emotional heart of a scene and the structural choices that make it stronger. Jay’s guidance pushed my novel to a higher level, and I’m grateful for the care and intelligence he brought to every page.

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...
