Working with Milica was great! I wanted her to be inspired by some of the writing to see what she could come up with. She provided various options for my cover art and interior design and I absolutely loved them. There was some back and forth to tweak some of the elements and Milica was always responsive and professional. I highly recommend her!

Svitlana is a 10/10, no wait, a 15/10. The cover she designed for my book exceeds anything I imagined. Right from the start she “got” my book and zeroed in on the right idea. The whole experience from beginning to end was collaborative. Working with her was effortless. Her communication was timely, efficient, and kind. Svitlana is a genuinely gifted book cover designer. I would write another book just for the joy of working with her again.

I Couldn’t Have Done This Without Rennie! I am so thankful I found Rennie! As a first-time author living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), writing my first book was not an easy journey. I knew the story I wanted to tell, but getting my thoughts onto paper and making everything flow the way I imagined was a real challenge for me. Rennie took my manuscript and turned it into something I never could have imagined on my own. She brought a beautiful flow to my story, connecting my thoughts and ...

Working with Mark Karis on Desire and Wonder was an extraordinary experience, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not a simple project. Desire and Wonder is a very large work—nearly 1,500 pages—which ultimately had to be presented as a three-volume series. From the beginning, Mark approached both the practical complexity of the project and the character of the work itself with remarkable intelligence, patience, care, and professionalism. What impressed me most was that Mark n...

Finding the right editor for your book feels like a BIG deal (and a Little scary)—and I could not have asked for a better person to give mine its first real look. Sherri’s notes were honestly were so eye opening. I knew there would be ways to strengthen the manuscript, and she had an incredible ability to untangle the story, see beneath the words, and get to the heart of what I was trying to say. She didn't just edit the book, she saw into it. And, at times, she saw parts of it more clearly...

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...

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

It is such a pleasure to write a review for Jennifer Stimson—because oh my goodness, she is EXCEPTIONAL! I was initially drawn to Jennifer because of her excellent reviews. Then, when I saw samples of her work and started to communicate with her, I knew I was in great hands! First and foremost, I’m impressed with her talent – her artistic choices; the stylistic elements she added to my pages; her page layouts and font choices that fit the theme of my book; the polish she added to the formatt...

I had an outstanding experience working with Leslie on the copy editing and proofreading of my first book. From the beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Most importantly, Leslie understood what I was trying to accomplish with the manuscript. The book has a very intentional voice—conversational, occasionally irreverent, and built around real experiences—and I wanted an editor who could improve the writing without polishing away the personality that ma...

​I cannot recommend Robin Fuller highly enough. Working with her to edit my debut historical fiction novel was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the beginning, Robin was professional, insightful, and supportive, which completely eased my nerves about the editing process. ​Robin’s work goes far beyond simple proofreading; she is a master of her craft who truly cares about the narrative. Her copy edit was thorough and sharp. She even caught nuanced historical inconsistencies t...

As a first time author, Penelope made the editing process seamless. Communication was professional and prompt, her feedback was excellent and changes to the manuscript really added a sense of polish and professionalism found in professionally released books. She also helped guide me in the process of next steps, which was beyond the scope of our work which shows how much she cares and takes a personal interest in the success of your project. I would highly recommend working with Penelope, and...

Patsy produced such a gorgeous design for my upper middle-grade historical novel! This is a challenging category to illustrate because covers need to show the book is for young people without looking too childish, and showcase the historical setting while still looking "cool" to tween readers. Patsy took the time to read my manuscript, research the culture and then produced a design that exactly captured the atmosphere of the book. Over the weeks that we worked together, she was consistently...

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...

Elayne is a wonder to work with. She took the dreaded synopsis project and made the revision process feel easy. Her analysis was thoughtful and precise. She asked insightful questions that helped clarify what truly needed to be included (and what didn’t) to tell the story effectively in such a limited space. Her line edits were masterful. And what's more, I also working on a tight timeline, and she delivered everything ahead of schedule. An absolute pleasure. Thank you, Elayne!

Laura exceeded my expectations, and, if she'll have me, I hope to continue working with her over the next few months. Her industry experience and skills will definitely help me navigate the picture book landscape and enable me to write better structured books, and better stories. In addition, she has a wonderful way about her and is lovely to communicate with! 10/10
