If you are on the fence, definitely hire David! This was my second time working with him, and it won't be the last. David treats your work like his own. He rigorously examined both of my stories and provided amazing feedback, both at the sentence level and developmentally. He made some great recommendations for editing approaches, and he was always willing to answer my questions. Best of all, he gave me some reading recommendations: pieces similar to mine, but written by much more accomplishe...

It's the second time I've worked with Rozi - she did an amazing copy-edit and polished the manuscript to standards. I'm really happy with the result and look forward collaboration with her a third time.

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ethan was wonderful to work with! He was professional, prompt, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. He brought clarity and structure to our project while still respecting our voice and vision. Communication was always easy, and he delivered high-quality work right on time. I would absolutely recommend working with Ethan and hope to collaborate again in the future! —Stacy M.

It was fantastic. High quality work, on time. Nothing to add, Alexandra is the best!

I have been so fortunate to work with Kerry, who has designed three of my book covers so far. There are more pending! Her incredible talent and creative eye have brought my stories to life in ways I never could have imagined. Each cover perfectly captures the heart and mood of the book, drawing readers in at first glance. Beyond her artistic skills, Kerry has become a trusted collaborator whose dedication and professionalism make every project a joy. I am deeply grateful for her artistry and ...

Emma did a great job and I'm happy to recommend her services.

Her effort stands out for its compassion and care in handling difficult material. She approached the subject with a genuine sense of empathy, taking the time to understand the emotional weight of the story and the people behind it. Her ability to grapple with the way the book connects with the audience was extremely valuable, nothing feels forced or exploitative, and the harder moments are treated with honesty and respect. Her ability to relate to complex, military jargonesse, and emotion...

Working with Simone R. was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. He was flexible throughout the process, accommodating my ideas while also offering helpful input where needed. Communication was clear, and he made adjustments without hesitation to ensure the final design matched exactly what I had in mind. Most importantly, he delivered a cover that aligned with my vision and felt true to the message of the book. That balance between listening and executing is not easy to...

I am totally delighted with Ed and how he has improved my entire project. Not only does he pay meticulous attention to every detail, every comma, every capital letter, but he also combines it with the higher-level view of the story style and construction. A wee side note from Ed saying "laughed at this" or similar comments makes the whole process so fun. I was excited to read each of his notes to find the ones that showed we were reading this together. I feel I was lucky to find Ed.

Prior to working with Christine, I had a great deal of trepidation about the process, not to mention the cost. After vetting several ghostwriters on Reedsy, Christine stood out for several reasons. The first reason was that her reply to my inquiry was specific to the sample I had submitted. The replies from the other potential candidates were full of generalities. It was clear they hadn’t fully read my submission. Still, it took a couple of weeks before I chose Christine. She expressed enthus...

Sakshi was a fantastic collaborator in bringing my project and vision to life. We went through several rounds of edits, and she consistently took constructive feedback with professionalism and care, delivering results that matched exactly what I had envisioned. I would gladly work with her again and highly recommend her to other authors.

She is absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning, she approached my manuscript with incredible care and attention to detail, making sure that every single comment was clear, easy to understand, and directly relevant to my work. She didn’t just mark things for the sake of editing—she provided thoughtful, well-explained notes that reflected what she truly thought, showing that she took the time to engage deeply with my writing. Her feedback was concise yet thorough, never overwhelming, and...

Nina is an outstanding editor. Professional, friendly, and an expert in her field. Not only did she help with editing my query, she's given me excellent career advice. I will continue to work with her on other projects.

What can I say? Julie was exceptionally professional, patient and accommodating with me as a first time self publisher. She took my idea and turned it into reality. My very first book arrived todsy and the cover arrived and looked awesome. Please consider Julie, you won't be disappointed.
