The experience has taught me how essential it is to have your work reviewed by a professional editor. I wish I had done this for previous projects. The insight Susan gave me awakened me and challenged me. It helped me develop as a writer. It was truly a blessing.

Working with Holly Welker on my memoir Under a Canopy of Grapes: Letting Go and Coming Home on the Camino de Santiago was one of the best decisions I made in the entire publishing process. Holly brought extraordinary care, patience, and respect to both the manuscript and the life behind it. She understood instinctively what I was trying to say and helped me say it more clearly without ever losing my voice. That's a rare gift in an editor. She pushed me where I needed to be pushed, held back...

I had a wonderful experience working with Christina Houen. Her developmental editing comments were thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly helpful in strengthening my manuscript. She had a clear understanding of the memoir genre and offered suggestions that improved the structure, clarity, and emotional impact of my story while still honoring my voice. I especially appreciated how detailed and constructive her feedback was. She pointed out areas where the narrative could be clarified, sections...

Gary is incredibly easy to work with, and his suggestions always leave me with "why didn't I think of that?" This is our second collaboration, and I can't imagine any of my future books without him. He works quickly and consistently delivers more than promised. I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

Jonathan Starke is an awesome find: very professional, experienced and encouraging the entire time. I feel like I'm in a giant learning curve and Jonathan was patient with me all the way through, even sharing in my humor over everything. His review and edits to my query letter were spot on, he condensed my draft while keeping my voice intact. This is a very talented, personable fellow who will not let you down, he will be my go-to contact as I continue my writing endeavors. This has been a st...

Mikola was wonderful to work with on my debut novel. As a French-Canadian writer working in my second language, I was a little nervous handing over my manuscript — but she took real care with it, cleaning up my English without ever losing my voice or my Quebecois flavor. She caught the little things a non-native speaker misses, and the book came back so much stronger, still completely mine. I'd recommend her to any writer, especially if English isn't your first language — she really gets it. ...

Working with Charles has been a meaningful part of my writing journey. He is much more than an editor—he genuinely cares about the people he works with and invests in them as writers. Throughout the process, Charles offered thoughtful recommendations, encouragement, and resources that challenged me to grow. Rather than simply correcting a manuscript, he helped me think more intentionally about storytelling, craft, and how to strengthen my writing. His feedback has given me tools I’ll continu...

John is an excellent editor with a sharp eye for detail and structure. He approached my manuscript with care, clarity, and genuine professional insight. His line edits were precise, his comments were thoughtful, and he consistently elevated the quality of my writing without ever diluting my voice. Communication was smooth throughout the collaboration, deadlines were honoured, and he provided more value than promised. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Stephanie genuinely knows her stuff. Her work is immaculate and I could not recommend her enough. She worked to bring to life the vision I had and created the most gorgeous book cover I could ask for. I look forward to working with her on future projects!

Working with Tina Morganella on my book was my very first experience on Reedsy, and I genuinely feel like I won the lottery. If I could give her 10 stars in every category, I absolutely would. Tina has a rare and remarkable talent: she can take content with messy or uneven areas and transform it into an absolute masterpiece. Reading the before‑and‑after of her edits is eye‑opening. In many cases, just a few of her adjustments elevate the writing from something ordinary to something that comm...

Rachel is wonderfully friendly, professional, creative, and highly talented. She works hard to bring your vision to life in a way that is eye catching and aesthetically pleasing and truly captures the essence of your book. She was enthusiastic, helpful, and offered excellent suggestions throughout the process. She was an absolute dream to work with, and I would love to collaborate with her again on my next book. I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

Taylor was so helpful! She pointed out major issues with the main character that I somehow managed to miss, and gave me lots of helpful feedback. I am currently in the process of revising the manuscript thoroughly, and thanks to Taylor, it is already so much better.

Working with Harriet on the developmental edit of my novel was an excellent experience. She was punctual, thoughtful, and willing to adapt the deliverables to better match what I was looking for - which I appreciated very much, and which made the collaboration feel both professional and tailored. Her notes were insightful, precise, and clearly grounded in a deep reading of the novel. I can't overstate her intimate grasp of the characters and of the novel’s inner logic. It was obvious to me th...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Editor — Above and Beyond Every Step of the Way Working with Patricia has been one of the highlights of my publishing journey. She went truly above and beyond in every aspect of the editing process. Not only was she incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but she was deeply involved from beginning to end. She read my manuscript more times than I ever expected an editor would — and each pass brought new insights, clarity, and improvements that elevated the entire book. Pat...

Robert has done 13 cover projects for me and all of them have been above and beyond my expectations, but this last one with the book The Last Shadow of Eden Genuinely surprised me. Actually, I was blown away by the quality of all the samples offered. His grasp Of the book's thematic Arch was nothing short of brilliant. I cannot give a strong enough recommendation for Robert. He's the best.
