Pamela did an outstanding job translating my novel and this was on time and at a very competitive price. I used a lot of idiomatic phrases involving comedy and she did an excellent job finding the right German expression. She also translated the metadata on top. I thoroughly recommend working with Pamela and I will most certainly work with her again if I need another novel translated into German.

Steph has been incredible to work with. She has so much knowledge about the romance world, everything from plotting, pacing, and scene creation, she can do it all. Not only is her technical ability great, but her infectious personality is a delight to work with, she is extremely responsive and is able to untangle the mess of my brain into a publishable book. I would highly recommend her!

Erin was the first professional editor I've worked with. Only started writing about 1 year ago, coming from a completely different long-term career, so had no experience and have had to crash course every angle of this whole writing thing. Erin met and exceeded my expectations. She was professional in every sense of the word, and I do work in another professional environment that isn't writing, so I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect when the word 'professional' is used. S...

Charlotte was an absolute joy to work with! From start to finish, she was incredibly timely, thoughtful, and thorough. We truly feel SO lucky to have found her. Her feedback was detailed, insightful, and incredibly valuable. You can tell how much care she puts into her work, and her expertise helped strengthen our manuscript in ways we hadn’t even considered. Throughout the entire process, we felt like our work was in such capable and caring hands. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a bett...

Shannon was wonderful to work with and did an excellent job with the developmental edits and copy edits for my debut novel. The style sheet was spot on, the developmental feedback was thorough and extremely helpful in identifying plot holes and inconsistencies, and her copy editing seemed to catch every one of my numerous grammatical mistakes. I've already booked my second book with her for later this year!

Working with Eli on the developmental edit of People Positive was one of the best decisions I made during the process By the time the manuscript reached him, I’d been living inside it for so long that I had lost perspective- Eli had an uncanny ability to spot issues without ever trying to rewrite the book into something it wasn’t. What really impressed me about Eli's work is his honesty- he gave direct, unfiltered feedback that prioritized the book and the reader’s experience. He didn't pla...

Daniel is thoughtful, wise, and matter of fact. I partnered with him to bring his literary instincts to my story. So glad I did. While reading his development memo—his reflections on my work—I get a humbling sense that he knows more then me about what I'm trying to say. Some of Daniel’s input parallels my quiet subconscious voice. "Yep, I knew I cheated there." One might classify this as coaching. Some of his input lightning-strike fresh…a totally new point of view that will take you're tale ...

I cannot say enough good things about Colleen. She worked closely with me to make my dream project come true and she was super responsive and attentive each step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure every page was exactly right, doing multiple rounds of edits to get it perfect. Colleen did an amazing job of bringing the story to life - the illustrations are beautiful and the final product couldn't have turned out better. I had never published a book before and she walked me thr...

Sarah is so responsive, creative and professional. I am excited to work with her again

Working with Patrick was an absolute joy. He was responsive and easy to communicate with, understood the project and created beautiful work well ahead of schedule. Without a doubt, I will reach out to him first for my next project. A consummate professional and talented artist.

Charlie was wonderful to work with very responsiveness , did everything I needed made great suggestions right to the end. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for his skill and professionalism.

Kate copyedited my debut novel, and I could not be more pleased with the experience or the result. My publisher requires authors on its imprint to arrange their own copyediting, so I came to Reedsy looking for someone with real literary experience — and Kate delivered on every count. She was a clear, prompt communicator from start to finish, and when her schedule unexpectedly opened up, she offered to begin the project early. Her editing was thorough and complete, and here is the measure of h...

Working with Shenny was absolutely wonderful! She was very organized, did an excellent job getting a feel for exactly what I wanted for my website redesign, was very responsive to feedback, and delivered a beautiful website that I'm very excited about. I can't recommend her enough!

Michael really lived up to the expectations that I had when I selected him based on his profile and accomplishments. He was very personable and professional, every step along the way. He was quick to respond to my manuscript and queries and gave great information in return. In addition, he was comforting to respond to my questions and perspectives and at no point said that my ideas were crazy or too far out there. I felt like he respected my concerns and provided feedback to really take m...

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.
