Where beautiful
books
are made

Congratulations to Reedsy for including in its roster a professional with the excellence of Dr. Charles Davidson, at once a scholar, an experienced editor, and a distinguished author himself. This collaboration very much exceeded my expectations. Without ever condescending, Dr. Davidson read my offering, listened to my needs and hopes, and fashioned a comprehensive response that answered my questions and provided the specific feedback that I had requested. Some editors slow down a project wit...

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

My experience with Matt exceeded every expectation I had! He didn’t just help improve my graphic novel; he taught me how to think like a graphic novelist. From scripting and layout to visualization and industry terminology, he generously shared his knowledge and caught issues I didn’t even know existed. The transformation from my original draft to where the project is now is honestly mind-blowing. His feedback was thoughtful, clear, and empowering. If you’re serious about learning and levelin...

Chiara was great and listened to what I wanted. She was responsive and finished work on time. I enjoyed working with her!

Lucy was an absolute delight to work with for a developmental edit of my novel! She was a true professional in every aspect of the project - from communication, edits, to quality of work delivered. I was nervous about my first time working with an editor but it could not have been easier. Lucy clearly communicated what was to be expected and when. The notes she provided through her edit were thoughtful, insightful, and presented in a way that prevented me from getting overwhelmed. Her feedbac...

Mark has helped me with multiple projects from book covers, to inside formatting, to social media ads. He's exceptional ... a real pro. His attention to detail is meticulous. In addition to being a creative genius, he's easy to work with and makes you feel like you have a true partner who cares about your project as much as you do. A value he ads is that he's very familiar with the publishing world and anticipates potential issues and makes certain you are completely ready to go on launch day...

Laurel's developmental edit was one of the most insightful and valuable pieces of feedback I've ever received on my writing. She didn't simply identify strengths and weaknesses. She understood the heart of the story I was trying to tell, and with greater clarity than I had myself. Her editorial report was thoughtful, perceptive, and remarkably precise. She pinpointed exactly where the manuscript could be strengthened while preserving everything that made it unique. Every recommendation felt ...

Ben Galley is an example of an author who deserves the spotlight. He us very thoughtful, answers questions no matter how dumb they might be, and provides insight and clarity into how you can improve. I've loved every minute of my time working with him and hope to see him excel in all things. Highly recommend!

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

As always working together with Josh has been a true pleasure. In addition to the absolutely breath-taking cover he designed for my book he made me a beautiful sprayed edges design. I can' recommend Josh enough. If you want a cover designer who makes covers that stand out while still nailing genre conventions and who is professional, friendly, there for every question he is your man! I would definitely work on all my cover with him in the future!

Lorna was extremely patient and helpful as she guided me through the process. She is a meticulous proofreader, did an amazing job.

Jennifer C. is a complete professional. I worked with her for developmental editing on my manuscript, and I don't know how the experience could have been better. She guided me through the entire process, communicated promptly, and made everything feel straightforward from start to finish. Even after delivering her edits, she reached out to let me know about a brief period when she'd be unavailable, just in case I had any questions. Jennifer provides exactly what every person who takes their ...

Beth handled the copyediting and proofreading of my book, The Chemically Castrated Generation — a dense, science-heavy medical title with a large number of embedded data infographics. From our first exchange through the final pass, she was professional, responsive, and consistently on time. Communication was easy and reliable, which matters enormously when you're working against a publication deadline. What set Beth apart was her genuine engagement with the material. This is a technical medi...

Oksana gave wonderfully detailed notes and constructive feedback, treating my story with personalized attention, sensitivity, and care. She is warm and collaborative, with strong storytelling instincts and years of professional experience that inform her brilliant work. She delivered her notes promptly and was very communicative and understanding throughout our collaboration. I would highly recommend working with Oksana and hope to have the privilege to do so again soon!

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. Once again, her structural edit was outstanding. I’ve worked with Rachel multiple times now, and that continuity makes such a difference—she knows my voice, my style, and the heart of my stories, and she edits in a way that enhances my voice rather than reshaping it. Her feedback is meticulous, thoughtful, and deeply insightful. Every suggestion strengthens the narrative, sharpens the emotional arc, and helps the story truly sing. Rachel has an incred...
