Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. It was great to bounce ideas off her and she constantly made me reassess what I’d written with thought provoking questions and pertinent comments. I look forward to working with her again on my follow up novel. Thank you Michelle for everything!

Working with Raman on The Life Compass website and Twitter launch was an excellent experience from start to finish. He consistently delivered high-quality work, maintained strong attention to detail, and showed great responsiveness throughout the entire project. From the site layout and mobile optimization to the card design and strategic planning for social media, Raman brought structure, creativity, and reliability to every phase. Communication was smooth, and he was always proactive in of...

Alicia has been a pleasure to work with. She keeps me updated regularly and responds promptly to my questions. Her feedback on my initial work was incredibly valuable, providing me with the material and references I needed to move forward. I expressed my nerves about sharing my work, as it was my first time, and she reassured me that it was perfectly fine. We collaborated on the initial feedback professionally, which inspired me to expand my novella into a full novel. Overall, I am very happy...

I have worked with Sophia on three novel projects now, and I have been blown away by her insightful, compassionate feedback each time. Working with other editors, I have sometimes found their comments overwhelming in scope and number, but Sophia's feedback is well-organized and digestible. She also is encouraging, mentioning both what's working well and what could be improved. Best of all, I think, she identifies what the project IS, not what it might be if someone else had written it, and fo...

I have worked with Veronica in the past and will continue to do so in the future. She is very kind, patient, and quick to respond to messages. She is also a creative problem solver and tackles any speed bumps that arise in the book publishing process with finesse and positivity.

Entrusting my book to someone else felt like a deeply personal step, but Sam immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and made everything feel manageable from the start. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge, offering guidance across different areas of the publishing and editing world, and consistently went above and beyond what I expected. His feedback was thorough and insightful. He even picked up on the smallest details I hadn't considered! The collaboration f...

Working with Martin was one of the most valuable parts of the entire writing process. He delivered a thorough, exacting copy edit of a 77,000-word nonfiction economics manuscript and went considerably beyond the scope of what I contracted for. His notes were direct, honest, and at times bracing in the best way possible. He told me exactly what a paying audience would make of the work, which is precisely what you need at this stage and rarely get. What stood out most was his willingness to en...

Maria was quick and responsive, and her notes, not just on BISACs but general formatting of copy on promotional material, was great! I'll definitely be working with her on future installments of my series.

The professional experience of editing my first narrative non-fiction manuscript was very enjoyable and successful. After an initial video chat to get to know each other, the work began with clear deadlines and progress payments established. Although at first I was naturally concerned about how the process would unfold, I was quickly reassured by Shaun's competence and willingness to both discuss and listen to all my input. It was truly a collaborative process and the outcome has been a tight...

Working with Sarah was an exceptionally positive experience. Her developmental assessment was thoughtful, precise, and deeply respectful of both my voice and the heart of my manuscript. Rather than offering generic feedback, she provided clear structural insight that immediately clarified how to strengthen the book’s organization, flow, and reader experience. What stood out most was her ability to balance encouragement with genuinely useful guidance. Her comments were perceptive, constructiv...

James is a fantastic editor. He did a developmental edit of my first novel, helping me develop and build confidence in my writing skills. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and meticulous in his attention to the logic and resonance of every sentence, while also keeping me focused on the overarching structure and tone of the story. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to work with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Krista was a dream to work with on this project! She was proactive in her communication and even completed the project ahead of the initial due date WITH a holiday in the middle of the timeframe. I would love to work with her again on upcoming projects and would recommend her to anyone looking for an honest professional editorial review.

Prior to working with Christine, I had a great deal of trepidation about the process, not to mention the cost. After vetting several ghostwriters on Reedsy, Christine stood out for several reasons. The first reason was that her reply to my inquiry was specific to the sample I had submitted. The replies from the other potential candidates were full of generalities. It was clear they hadn’t fully read my submission. Still, it took a couple of weeks before I chose Christine. She expressed enthus...

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 Kevin has been exceptional! His artwork is amazing and I love the colours, details, and the facial expressions in the characters and illustrations. Kevin responds within a day and is so easy to work with. I was fussy with my characters as I am writing a series and wanted to get my characters the way I wanted them and Kevin worked with me every step of the way with no hesitation. I am so happy, as well as my book designer was, with his work. I am already signing Kevin up for my ne...
