Gary has been an incredible editor. I've had the pleasure to work with him several times now, and his punctual, professional and pointed edits have assisted greatly in my work. He's given great notes on what to trim down and what to add further detail and description to. I'm fairly new at this, but can safely say that I've seen my work grow in depth and sophistication since working with Gary and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for any project.

Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic to work with. She was timely, thoughtful, professional, kind, engaging, bright and extraordinarily helpful. She is superb at what she does, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. I am already looking forward to working with her again!

As a first-time author, (The Why of Sports) it dawned on me that I would soon need a cover design for my book. Luckily I stumbled upon Reedsy then found Sebastian. I really didn't have an idea about a cover design, but had a hunch he would come up with something wonderful. Indeed, he did, showing me a number of great designs before I settled on one. He then led me through the rest of the process, patiently showing me option after option until it was just perfect. I have come to know a lot of ...

Krista is hands-down the editor every author dreams of finding. She has an astonishing eye for micro-details, catching everything from factual accuracy and geographic nuances to intricate blocking mechanics and echoes that easily slip past the eye. Most importantly, she never tried to change who my characters were or touch the heart of my plot; she simply enhanced my voice and made the narrative shine. Her constant encouragement and clear, collaborative communication turned what could have be...

I couldn’t have asked for a better copyeditor. Saranne brought clarity, precision, and heart to every page. Her attention to detail was incredible — not just fixing errors, but strengthening the rhythm, emotion, and flow of the story. She understood exactly what I was trying to say, often before I even said it, and helped me bring out the best version of my work. Professional, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for someone who elevates your writing while r...

Rachel is outstanding at her craft! I remember reading another review about her before choosing her. "There are book editors, and then there's Rachel!" That stuck in my mind, and my experience with her proved that to be just as true! She is top-notch: her skills, her friendly professionalism, her timeliness, and attention to detail. She put in the effort my book project deserved, and I am so grateful for our partnership in getting my book ready for the proposal stage.

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

Working with Nina has been such a positive and productive experirence. Her knowledge and professionalism was of great benefit for me. It's my first time going through a process such as this, and it's been quite productive and beneficial. I appreciate her partnership in this process and will not hesitate to engage with her again, should the need arise.

Working with Amy was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, insight, and genuine care for my manuscript elevated the entire process. She approached my work with respect, clarity, and enthusiasm — offering thoughtful feedback that strengthened both the structure and the voice of my book. Amy’s communication was timely and encouraging, and her expertise made me feel confident every step of the way. I’m deeply grateful for her contribution and would recommend her to any author seeking a skil...

Sofie is absolutely incredible! For someone who just wrote an entire book, I know it’s hard to believe that I’m struggling to find the words to describe her talent, but I am. She took a very clunky vision I had and turned it into a cover and design package that was better than anything I could have imagined. I’ve had countless people comment on the cover, and that is all thanks to Sofie. She has an incredible ability to understand not just what will look beautiful, but what will communicate t...

Kate's the best. I more than recommend her as an editor - if your story needs help, I implore you to reach out to her. She is skilled, perceptive and thoughtful at every level of the collaboration. From big-picture structural insights to tiny inconsistencies others would miss, she's on it. Her feedback was consistently spot-on, insightful, and actionable, and I ended up incorporating a majority of her suggestions. She helped make the book stronger in ways I never anticipated. KAte was also...

Gale was a delight to work with. Everything was done on time as per the schedule I agreed to. She is completely professional. She not only gave helpful critiques on my work but also sent extra articles and sample queries, etc. that were useful to me. She answered all my questions and was pleasant and friendly. I would love to work with her again.

Cyndi went above and beyond as a book designer, typographer, and even stepped in to fix a few things that fell under the illustrator category, and I'm so grateful for her. She was beyond knowledgeable and talented - she took initiative, and was super sweet and professional. She was super patient with my perfectionism and was great with making changes that made my book look SO beautiful. I hope to work with her again!

Ty is incredible at identifying weak points in your manuscript and pinpointing what needs to be reworked. He is very responsive and friendly. The editorial letter for a developmental edit was 13 pages of insight and broken into next steps, which was helpful and reduced the feeling of being overwhelmed with information. The video call was immensely positive for clarifying points and troubleshooting possible changes, and the follow-up summary was priceless.

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.
