Hiring Dan to copy-edit Seraphant was one of the best decisions I made on this book. The manuscript is 180,000 words across 43 chapters, with a constructed language woven through the prose, layered worldbuilding, and a science-fantasy register that demanded a careful editorial ear. Dan handled all of it. He delivered chapter sets on a reliable Wednesday schedule, communicated cleanly throughout, and tracked global conventions—capitalization, formatting, terminology—across the whole arc with...

Working with Kevin has been exceptional! His artwork is amazing and I love the colours, details, and the facial expressions in the characters and illustrations. Kevin responds within a day and is so easy to work with. I was fussy with my characters as I am writing a series and wanted to get my characters the way I wanted them and Kevin worked with me every step of the way with no hesitation. I am so happy, as well as my book designer was, with his work. I am already signing Kevin up for my ne...

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.

Jordan was excellent to work with, and often went over the top to deliver the highest quality work. His style is amazing, but more than that, he worked hard to understand my story and match the art with the book's genre and themes. We tweaked details and went through multiple examples almost every step along the way, and I had a lot of fun seeing the progress. Jordan has a real eye for detail and balance, providing a professional quality to the cover that is so impressive. Not only did Jordan...

Working with Ed was absolutely fabulous, from the moodboard he sent me immediately with ideas for my cover to the three potential covers themselves and right along in the process until we picked a final cover and colors and he completed it. He is a consummate professional, totally responsive, and incredibly talented. I finally have the sort of cover I've been wanting for one of the books in my mystery series ever since I started writing them. The finished cover is so gorgeous that I can't sto...

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...

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

A great experience working with Robert. He polished the manuscript with care and precision, and as I reviewed his edits, I found very few instances where I disagreed with his choices. His suggestions consistently aligned with both the tone of the story and my intentions as an author.

Working with Lorna was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She brought a warm, encouraging energy to the entire process. Her proofreading was meticulous and thorough — she caught everything — but what truly set her apart was how she communicated. She was prompt, kind, and a genuine delight to work with. I never felt like just another project; I felt supported. If you're looking for a proofreader who combines sharp eyes with a wonderful collaborative spirit, Lorna is your person. I woul...

I worked with Maxwell to prepare a non-fiction book proposal. I am very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with Maxwell again as this project develops. 1. Maxwell's feedback on my proposal was thorough, thoughtful, and clear. I appreciated that Maxwell has extensive experience reading and preparing book proposals and was able to explain why certain elements didn't work and suggest concrete examples of what would work better. 2. In addition to the specifics of my book p...

Flavia is an outstanding illustrator. She has a talent for transforming real people into believable characatures of themselves . It was an honor to work with her.

There isn't enough space here to fully express how amazing it is to work with Hannah. Her skills are exceptional, her timing is perfect, and overall, her vibes are fantastic. Communication? Excellent. Her knowledge is clear in her work!!!! I've teamed up with Hannah twice, and I will definitely work with her again in the future.

Working with Tina Morganella on my book was my very first experience on Reedsy, and I genuinely feel like I won the lottery. If I could give her 10 stars in every category, I absolutely would. Tina has a rare and remarkable talent: she can take content with messy or uneven areas and transform it into an absolute masterpiece. Reading the before‑and‑after of her edits is eye‑opening. In many cases, just a few of her adjustments elevate the writing from something ordinary to something that comm...

This is my second time working with Harrold-Vincent Villanueva and couldn't be happier with the work he did, both times. I constantly get praise over the covers he's done for me, which I don't think I need to tell you is invaluable for an author. As much as the old saying gets tossed around, people can and do judge a book by its cover. Not only is he a talented, hardworking artist, but you can really tell he cares about the covers he puts out and the stories they're trying to tell. I'll b...

My project is not finished but up til now all my interactions with Tom have been enormously useful. I chose Tom because he seemed to respond with some actual interest in my story and not with an 'Okay, I could do this." sort of comment. I feel that Tom took the time to get into the tone and spirit of my story. He gave me valuable feedback on what he understood as he read and what was confusing. I don't want to confuse my 8 year old reader! I hope to continue to work with Tom until this p...
