Gary is an exceptional editor. He provided my copy edit at lightning speed, getting my novel back to me with professional, well-documented edits. Would highly recommend for any authors seeking a fast, well done, and affordable copy edit. Gary is the best.

O. Marie was the consummate professional. She delivered immaculate work product in a timely manner. She was available to discuss our project as we needed and did multiple turns of the book. I was highly recommend her services.

Amazing guide. I am enjoying his support and guidances. Working under the guidance of David on my possible book is both a privilege and a transformative experience. His background as a seasoned novelist, particularly in military and maritime thrillers, brings a level of narrative discipline and structural clarity that is rare to find. What I appreciate most is his ability to respect my voice and subject matter, while still pushing me, constructively, toward better phrasing, sharper dialogue, ...

This was my first novel, and I wanted an editor who could handle copy editing, line editing, and proofreading with efficiency, professionalism, and a sharp eye—someone who wouldn’t hesitate to mark up my manuscript. I found exactly that in Jenny. She was always available, clear in her communication, and incredibly generous with her knowledge. Throughout the process, she explained not only her editing choices but also broader writing principles, so I came away a better writer with every rou...

Working with Shannon has been one of the greatest blessings in my writing journey. She has edited five of my books, and with each one, she proves again why she is absolutely indispensable. Her attention to detail is extraordinary—nothing slips past her. She catches the smallest inconsistencies, tightens the narrative, and ensures every word earns its place. Her skill in reorganizing timelines—dates, times, and sequences—is nothing short of amazing. Whenever I drift, she gently but firmly ste...

Robin's line edits dramatically improved how my story sounds. After applying the edits, the story sounds so much smoother! I also appreciated the suggestions for stronger verbs and picking up parts of the story that didn't make sense or weren't articulated clearly. Robin is very thorough, thoughtful and a true professional. I hope to work with her on future projects, too.

Truly, I cannot recommend Carol highly enough. Following a bad experience with an editor from another company, I was seriously considering giving up writing altogether. But, I thought I'd give it one more go, and decided on Reedsy. From the very outset, Carol was there pretty much 24/7. Positive, honest and practical, she gave me back my confidence and helped me to re-construct a manuscript which had been hacked to pieces by my previous editor. My confidence boosted and renewed, I was writ...

Grace is amazing. Full stop. Her feedback and suggestions have pushed my manuscript into the "I think I might get agented" category (not kidding). She identified places where the emotional beats were missing or where my characters were overreacting. She asked thoughtful questions about my world building that highlighted areas of confusion and weakness. For example... she left me a comment saying "I don't really understand how money works in this world." You know why she didn't understand...

Lucia took care of my book! From the very beginning, she has been a standout. She loved what I wrote and didn't hesitate to extend her expertise right way. After getting my edits back, it was exactly what I was looking for. For a first time author, she helped with advice and small suggestions to better the story. Would absolutely hire her again.

Seth was truly amazing to work with. He took the time to understand our project goals and what we wanted to accomplish. From the initial discussions and outlining to the completed book, Seth was collaborative, responsive, and delivered a high-quality children's book on time. I recommend collaborating with Seth on your project!

Tjaša was amazing to work with. She really understood my concept, was adaptive at making minor changes, and helped walk someone unfamiliar with the space (me) through the process.

I worked with Sabrina Milazzo on the interior design and typesetting for my debut novel, and I am thrilled with the result! Sabrina is both very knowledgeable and personable, easy to collaborate with and extremely patient. I had pretty much no clue about any of what goes into the interior design process, and I found all of Sabrina's explanations clear and concise. Giving me clarity on different aspects of the decisions involved, and how they impact the overall design as we moved forward step ...

Rennie was an outstanding copyeditor for my 70,000-word memoir. From the get-go, she impressed me. She responded to my quote request quickly with a deeply thoughtful reply that made clear she was genuinely interested in the project. Her communication throughout the project was excellent and she completed the work several days early. In addition to thorough copyediting of the manuscript, she pointed out a few key inconsistencies. The manuscript had gone through developmental edits, and I was u...

Working with Celia has been an absolute pleasure. She went above and beyond, and the insights she shared with me have been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her. She’s an absolute star, and I will definitely be back with additional projects. Thanks so much, Celia--this has been a total blast and I’m super grateful for all your stellar work!

Allison turned my disjointed, all over the place synopsis into a synopsis I can't wait to submit to agents. She also did a great job on my query. I was very happy with every aspect of our interaction. I'd use her again in a heartbeat!
