Before the project began Ore scheduled a Zoom consultation to understand my goals, discuss the services available, and align on pricing. She took the time to specialize her approach based on what I needed rather than offering a one size fits all service. That level of care before the work even started set the tone for everything that followed. Ore ensured that I chose the right service based on what I was looking for. We agreed that a manuscript assessment was the best choice as I had initial...

Patricia is a wonderful translator and individual; I truly enjoy collaborating with her, and for sure I will work with her again

If you're looking for an amazing proofreader who will go above beyond for you, look no further. Lee is hands down the best there is. He's a pleasure to collaborate with, has an eye for detail and delivers on time. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Lee!

Working with Hannah has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my book! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, thorough, and deeply invested in both the story and my growth as a writer. Her editorial letter was incredibly insightful and pushed me in all the right ways. She has a rare ability to see the heart of a story, identify what’s already working, and then clearly articulate how to strengthen it without ever making you feel discouraged or overwhelmed. Her line edits were de...

Abbie was a great help in editing my manuscript for publication- I highly recommend!

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.

I had a picture book I have been working on for some time. I have had recent interest from editors but asking for changes in the ending which I struggled with. Julie offered wonderful revision suggestions that I think will make this project desirable for acquisition.

Working with Blair has been an excellent experience. As a first-time author I wasn’t sure what kind of editorial help my manuscript needed — Blair’s assessment answered that clearly and professionally. She genuinely engaged with the material, identified the real strengths of the manuscript, and gave honest actionable feedback without being discouraging. Her background in Christian publishing came through immediately — she understood the faith dimension of the book and respected its voice. I’m...

If what you're looking for is a professional, experienced, smart, articulate, sincere editor to join you on the journey of your work, then Jackson is your guy. Excellent across the board. Exceeded my expectations in ways I wasn't expecting. And that, dear writer friends, was the kind of author fuel I was hoping for. Terrific editor and person. Just do it.

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!

Phillip was a real pleasure to work with. He was endlessly patient with us as we navigated our way through doing a job like this for the first time. His advice was spot on. The final result looks terrific. The author is thrilled.

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

Working with Evelina was once again a thoroughly professional experience from start to finish. Communication was clear, reliable, and responsive throughout the entire project. Every deliverable arrived on time and in exactly the quality I had hoped for — both the cover design and the full interior layout were executed with great attention to detail and a strong sense of craftsmanship. Even multiple rounds of corrections were handled with patience, precision, and a consistently positive attitu...

Robin made my book so much better I'm so glad I found Robin. From the beginning, I could tell she really got what I was trying to do with my story. She didn't just edit—she understood the heart of the work and helped me bring it out in ways I couldn't see on my own. Her feedback was honest and insightful without ever making me feel discouraged. She pointed out things that weren't working, but always with clear suggestions for how to fix them. And she caught so many little details I'd missed. ...

Working with Joel through Reedsy was an absolute pleasure! From the start, he demonstrated a clear understanding of my vision and brought my dream cover to life with artistic flair. Not only did he deliver exactly what I asked for, but he did so on time--without rushing my feedback on his drafts. What truly set him apart was his meticulous attention to detail. Every element of the design felt intentional and aligned beautifully with the heart of my story. If you are looking for someone who ...
