Jonathan exceeded every expectation I had for a developmental editor. From the very beginning, he approached my memoir with genuine care, professionalism, and respect for my voice. Rather than rewriting my story, he strengthened it while preserving the heart and authenticity of my writing. His editorial feedback was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. He didn't simply point out areas for improvement—he explained his reasoning, offered valuable suggestions, and helped me become a better ...

I cannot express how fantastic, Samantha is! From the very beginning, I knew she was the right person from the job when she said she wanted to read my manuscript. Out of all of the cover designers I had talked to she was the ONLY one who offered to read the book for inspiration. All of our meetings were timely and she provided an abundant of information and resources to guide me through the process. Even when I messed up on my end she was very patient and made the necessary fixes. I cannot w...

I feel extremely fortunate to have come across David on the Reedsy site. I have been inspired, challenged, enlightened and encouraged by him when I really needed it. David has been fantastic in every way - both highly professional (on time for every call, reasonable deadlines that he always honors, clear notes and feedback) and also warm and personable. David has helped me think through and untangle numerous tricky areas of my manuscript, and offers solutions and insightful suggestions. ...

Brittany did an excellent job editing my manuscript. The line edits were exactly what I was looking for. What sets her apart are her suggestions. She provided valuable advice on how I can improve the mechanics of my writing. And she understands where I am as a story teller and offered concrete suggestions on how I can improve. She did not overwhelm me with advice and let sections of my manuscript breath. Her edits and feedback are well worth her rate. I would not hesitate to recommend her. I'...

SEES THE WHOLE STORY: Angela tracked characters, chronology, injuries, objects, and overall cause and effect across my entire manuscript. For example, a named character seemed to suddenly appear midway through my story. Angela conducted what I can only describe as an FBI-grade manuscript investigation, tracing him backward through simple, brief descriptions separated by dozens of pages and multiple chapters until she found his first unnamed appearance. EXPLAINS THE WHY: Angela doesn't just id...

I had an outstanding experience working with Maria Giovanna Brauzzi on my manuscript. From our earliest conversations, she was exceptionally responsive, thoughtful, and encouraging. In the first round of work, she helped me think carefully about how to move the manuscript forward, how to strengthen its shape and direction, and how best to approach possible publishers. Her advice was practical, insightful, and grounded in a clear understanding of both the manuscript and the publishing process....

Working with Frances across multiple projects has been an incredible learning experience. Each time, I’ve walked away grateful for her time, expertise, and guidance. Both the editorial assessments and developmental edits she provided gave me invaluable insight into the publishing landscape and the revision process. I feel as though I keep a tiny Frances on my shoulder now whenever I sit down to revise, pulling her considerations into my work. When in doubt, ask yourself: What would Frances do?

Simply put, if you want to work with an excellent editor, hire Jenna Blum. She is a consummate professional who provided the guidance I need to make sure my book will meet the highest standards. Her humanistic approach praises areas of strength, identifies issues, and offers superb suggestions to resolve those issues. During our Zoom meeting Jenna suggested I was coming up with the idea to improve my book. Nope. Her prompting and suggestions led me to those ideas. I feel exceptionally ho...

Allison proofread my debut novel — a prose-poetry manuscript with unconventional formatting, intentional line breaks, and rhythm that mattered as much as grammar. That's a hard brief for any proofreader: correct the real errors without flattening the style. She got the distinction immediately. Her markup was meticulous (165 items, every one clearly anchored and explained), she separated mechanical fixes from judgment calls so I stayed in control of the voice, and she flagged patterns rather t...

Abi is terrific! She understood what I was asking for from the start, and really delivered in a professional, responsive, and warm way. Her editorial assessment was clear, thoughtful and thorough, and our Zoom follow-up conversation gave me further direction and motivation. Before working with Abi, I felt like I was groping around in the dark, and now I feel confident about my next steps. I’m truly grateful for her insight and guidance.

Louise exceeded my expectations in every way. It has been a delight working with her and we have several more projects we are doing together. First, her design skills are excellent, everything was beautiful, achieved the communication objectives, and technically precise. Secondly, she is responsive and fast-open to suggestions-and offers ideas. I feel completely supported in this project and am very impressed with the finished project. On time, on budget, excellent quality.

Deborah did an amazing job proofreading my middle grade fantasy novel! She caught things that went unnoticed during previous revisions, explained why she was correcting what she did with references, and delivered on time. Her constructive feedback has not only made my book better, but I feel like a better writer for it!

James proofread my 63,000-word nonfiction book, and the work was exactly what a final proofread should be. He returned clean tracked changes — over 750 corrections — plus nearly a hundred margin comments where a decision was mine to make, each one clearly explained. He caught things well beyond typos: an appendix citation that didn't match what the chapter actually said, a sentence that quietly contradicted the book's timeline, and consistency slips I'd read past a dozen times. Just as impor...

Nina is an incredible editor. She goes above and beyond to make sure she knows exactly who you are as a writer and what goals you set out to achieve— to the extent that I can believe she is as invested in my story as I am. Feedback is clearly designed to help you achieve, and each critique well justified. Nina has a clear extensive knowledge of the literary industry, and will be honest about where your writing stands in the market. Her work is delivered in a timely manner. As a new writer, I ...
