Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

I discovered Oksana when I watched the live Reedsy’s “Anatomy of a Great Scene” presentation on April 9, 2025. It was amazing and I highly recommend anyone interested in developmental editing for their project to check out the recording! When I first saw her, I immediately knew she was someone my project needed. Prior to that, I didn’t even know what a Developmental Editor or a scene was! And I was right: she was the perfect match for my project! In addition to being an amazing combinati...

My experience with Melissa was smooth sailing. She was professional, understanding, honest and accommodating. I published my first novel Veritas Naturae back in June thanks to Melissa's help. She was very detailed when giving feedback and receptive to my concerns and questions and very patient! I was nervous at first but she was very open and encouraging the whole time and I wouldn't have gotten to publish so soon if I hadn't reached out to her and she took a chance on me. Hope to ...

Getting helpful advice from Vicky on how to market my books in the UK has been an amazing experience. Vicky certainly went the 'extra mile ' to ensure that I had all the information I needed to push my books out into the marketplace where they belong. Helpful and so full of useful ideas - these materials are giving me the assistance I needed. An real 'expert' helping others - well done, Vicky - thank you so much for your help.

Working with Claire on my novel was a real pleasure! This was my first time taking a project to a professional copy editor and Claire made the process very straightforward, educational, and enjoyable. I found Claire great to work with - both before the project began, and after I had decided that I wanted to work with her. She made an effort to get to know both me and the project before we started work, and once the collaboration started she was extremely communicative which was reassuring - b...

Clint is THE best. Working with him was a terrific, seamless, and fun experience. Right away he understood my needs and responsed with multiple, imaginative, gorgeous concepts, all of which reflected the heart of my work. In addition, he was responsive and timely, working on an accelerated timeline due to my deadlines. In the end, I am thrilled with the final product and will not only recommend him to fellow writers, but also seek him out for future collaborations. I cannot recommend him high...

I can’t say enough good things about Mozelle. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She is a consummate professional. The assignment was a difficult one: proofreading a 375-page memoir that intentionally breaks many traditional rules of punctuation and formatting in order to preserve the author’s voice and style. Mozelle paid extremely close attention to every detail. She understood the difference between something that needed correcting and something that was an intentional stylistic ...

Through Reedsy, I shortlisted several professionals to proofread my manuscript and provide copy-editing recommendations. Robin stood out among a high-quality field of proofreaders and copy editors, not only because of his professional experience and platform reviews, but also because of his interest in the subject of my novel. The questions he asked about the story and the direction I had taken with the main protagonist, the French artist Suzanne Valadon, convinced me that Robin was the righ...

I really enjoyed working with Dan. He is kind, thorough, and very professional. He respects your voice and ideas while also pointing out inconsistencies and ways to improve the book. Most importantly, he has a genuine interest in seeing the book published and succeed. Highly recommended!

Jen was absolutely phenomenal! I worked with Jen on copy and line editing for my third novel, and it was my first time working with her. Of all the copy/line editors I've worked with, none have had this kind of professionalism, kindness, value, and quality. Jen's eye for structure transformed entire chapters into clean, polished moments. I am so grateful to have found Jen and am never going back to another copy/line editor! 10/10, would recommend!

Misha is a true professional and wonderful to work with. Her copyedits are extremely thorough, catching not only grammar and spelling errors but also inconsistencies, logical errors, and confusing prose. Her edits strengthened my work and inspired me to make adjustments and clarifications I otherwise would not have thought of. I highly recommend working with her and will do so again if I have the opportunity.

My co-author and I had never worked with an illustrator before, so we came into the project with a lot of apprehension. It's a challenge when you're not sure what to expect and are in unfamiliar territory. What drew us to Claudia was not only her amazing artistic abilities, but most of all, her bio and other reviews mentioned her patience. The reviews did not lie. We needed a lot of guidance through this process and Claudia delivered that, along with the most stunning illustrations which real...

Absolutely wonderful working with Allison! She provided in-depth notes and comments throughout my manuscript. The thoughts she has given will strengthen my novel without a doubt. I love the mix of encouragement and constructive feedback!

With all transparency this was my response to Barry when he finished his edit. Dear Barry, I just finished going through your edits, and I’m honestly a little speechless (in the best way). This is my very first children’s picture book, and I thought I understood my story… but you’ve shown me how much deeper it can go. The small word changes you suggested? They feel like magic. Suddenly the text breathes better, the rhythm dances, and it actually feels like it belongs in the hands (and ears) ...

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...
