Cindy completed a manuscript assessment for me that included extensive marginal notes for a 200k word historical epic set in medieval Japan. It's hard to convey the complexity of the project, but it's a multi-POV, alternate history with a mystery running through it, laced with Japanese names and places. I mention this only to give some context to just how special Cindy's attention to detail is. She navigated this behemoth with an attention to detail that would have been impressive in a 50k wo...

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better editor. From the beginning, I was looking for someone experienced with horror and also mindful of pricing, and he exceeded my expectations on both fronts. He was transparent and thoughtful with every batch he returned, offering honest feedback while remaining receptive to my revisions. As this was the first book I’ve ever written, it meant a great deal to have someone so reliable and supportive throughout the entire process. I would absolutely love ...

Claire was a delight to work with. She was knowledgeable, prompt, and thorough. It was easy to gain confidence in her work very quickly because of her timely communication and the samples she sent early on. This was an investment for me, as a first time author and one-woman business, and it was well worth the money. My book is a much better product because of Claire's help. She also explained things to me and answered all of my questions. She saved me time by reorganizing my chapters after I ...

Working with Kristin has been one of the most transformative experiences of my writing life. She approaches editing with both surgical precision and deep empathy for the work, balancing line-level craft with an extraordinary birds-eye view of the manuscript as a whole. Her editorial assessment didn’t just mark places to tighten or expand—it revealed the architecture of my collection in a way I hadn’t fully seen myself. She highlighted thematic arcs, tonal consistencies, and structural streng...

David is ***excellent*** to work with! I cannot say enough GREAT things about him. I LOVE the cover he created for my book - I think it is perfect. He is easy to communicate with and responsive to requests. If I could give him 100 stars (instead of the 5 max) I would. David is top notch!

I appreciated the professional way John handled my essay. It was a pleasure working with him, and I loved the editing work he did for me.

My exchanges with John have been an absolute privilege. He gives honest pointers with kindness, which is most encouraging to new writers. His suggestions weren't just corrections, they were thoughtful enhancements. I feel like I can and should continue with my writing projects. Thank you, John!

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Kate Juniper. Having no experience in the book-writing realm, I was unsure what to expect. What I received was tenfold more than I could ever have imagined. Kate has a unique ability to connect on such a deeply emotional level. She made me feel safe to make mistakes, to learn, and to be vulnerable in every aspect of learning how to write. She possesses a rare kind of patience that is thoughtful and kind. Her extensive expertise in writing...

Kara provided thoughtful, high-quality feedback with real editorial insight. She was professional and clear throughout the project, and her notes were constructive and actionable—not just opinions, but guidance I could apply immediately. She elevated the manuscript while retaining my voice, which made the process both productive and reassuring.

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...

Isabella was superb from start to finish. Went above and beyond and provided the work requested well within deadline. Would not hesitate to recommend.

The story was The Judge’s Daughter not Conspiracy. Fictionalizing a complex story based on real experience is a challenge. More so for an octogenarian emerging to write. Zeynep in a professional manner tested my work in her analysis against critical desirable elements rather than preach. She made several useful elemental suggestions to tighten my storyline, including a timeline adjustment and an impactful repositioning. She is pleasant yet concrete. I think the world of her capacity base...

John was timely, collaborative, and professional throughout the editing process. He gave thoughtful feedback that strengthened the manuscript while preserving my voice. Most importantly, it always felt like he genuinely cared about the book. I’d recommend him to any author looking for not just an editor, but a true partner in the process.

Lisa is amazing and it was the easiest decision to have her do the cover for my second book after she did the first. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Rebecca Roy highly enough for a developmental edit. What I've received has been exceptional and far more than what I even expected in such a short amount of time. There was nothing rushed about the edit I received - both on my script and an overarching in-depth document filled with nothing but suggestions and, more importantly, the reason behind the suggestions. Rebecca has also been available before, during and after, to discuss any of the suggested edits. Many I took on bo...
