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 Olga on the Spanish translation of The Anxious Girls’ Guide: Finding Your Calm and the Inner Calm Planner was a truly rewarding experience which I am sincerely grateful for. Olga brought genuine clinical intelligence to a complex project. The Tourist vs. Roommate anxiety framework required more than linguistic skill — it required real clinical understanding — and Olga demonstrated that from the very first sample page. Framework terminology, technique names, and the warm teen-fri...

I hired Savannah to do a developmental edit on my manuscript. The thought of finding someone to edit my work was intimidating, but Savannah came highly recommended, and it took only one conversation to know she would be the right person to collaborate with. As I write this review, I wish nothing more than to amplify the praise that others have shared. She took exceptional care of my manuscript, and provided invaluable feedback. She was easy to communicate with and provided flexibility in se...

Jim just completed an editorial assessment of my first draft of my first book. He completed this ahead of schedule, and his feedback was positive, constructive, and invaluable. With our follow-up call, I now have a plan to take the manuscript to the next level, with his continued support. I look forward to further collaboration with Jim, and ultimately the successful completion of this book.

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...

Rebecca was so easy to work with and made the experience very collaborative! She saw my vision and not only made it come to life but made it better than even what I had imagined. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

I am a writer so it takes a lot for me to say I struggle to find the words to describe how over the moon I am with Baris's work on my book. During the journey of writing, sharing with editors and beta readers, no one has given me a more detailed and accurate response to my work. It was like he had known me for years. I felt like he just got it. My book is a bit dark, satirical, takes a humorous look at the serious topic of death, murder, the afterlife. It is not easy to explain or descri...

Working with Holly was an exceptional experience. This was my first book and my first time working with a professional editor, and I could not have asked for a better guide through the process. Holly treated my memoir with great care and respect while also being honest when she believed something could be stronger. Her comments were thoughtful and never felt like she was trying to rewrite my voice. Instead, she helped me better understand my own writing and why certain revisions would make th...

David is an incredibly talented and imaginative illustrator with a rare gift for bringing ideas to life. He took a concept that felt very difficult to visualize and transformed it into something truly special, far beyond what I had imagined. He immediately understood my vision and created illustrations full of energy, charm, and personality that elevated the entire story. His creativity helped turn the manuscript into a beautiful, engaging short chapter book. On top of his talent, David was ...

Working with Chris has been an absolute game-changer for my book manuscript. He is incredibly detailed, offering thoughtful suggestions that sharpen and strengthen the work while always preserving my own voice. His ability to make points more succinct without losing meaning is outstanding. What stood out most is his patience and the genuine effort he puts in, treating the manuscript as if it were his own. Chris truly has your best interests at heart. He builds trust through relationship firs...

Working with Lisa has been the most valuable step in bringing my book to a truly professional level. As a first-time author, I wasn’t sure what made a book stand out and get to a professional level. Lisa guided me through that learning curve with clarity, expertise, and genuine care. Her feedback was thoughtful, thorough, and delivered with a perfect balance of honesty and encouragement. She didn’t just point out what could be improved; she helped me understand why it mattered, offering insi...

Working with Izabela was one of the most rewarding creative collaborations I have ever experienced. When I first began this project, I had a manuscript and a vision for how I wanted the book to feel, but I quickly realized that creating a book is about much more than simply placing words on a page. It is about creating an experience for the reader. Izabela understood that from the very beginning. What impressed me most was that she never approached the project as someone simply executing in...

What an extremely excellent developmental editor you are, Martha! I believe you were sent to me by no other than Divine Providence. Your editorial wisdom, persistence, and human compassion helped this manuscript become what i always dreamed it would be: a tale of resilience despite challenging times. Your attention to detail, your eagle eye ...your diligence in keeping me up to date. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this manuscript to life. I am sure that my agent will appreciate what...

I couldn’t recommend Rebecca more highly as a developmental editor. She started with a one-to-one meeting to really understand the heart of the project before touching a single page — and that investment showed in everything that followed. Her feedback was thoughtful, specific, and always in service of the story I was trying to tell, not a generic template. Beyond the big-picture developmental advice, she went through the manuscript line by line, adding comments and suggestions directly onto...

Shanika delivered as promised and open my eyes with great suggestions which I have implemented. Her pricing was very fair for the scope of work I requested. I would use her again. Also, I had been using Fiverr in the past and not 100% happy with all of the representatives there. It was very hit or miss.
