Where beautiful
books
are made

Where can I begin? Conni has helped me truly transform my writing and my book. When we began collaborating, I had about 3 chapters written and the structure figured out, but once I started working with Conni, my book was elevated. She helped me (and pushed me because I was a bit unsure) to create more structure and predictability to the book and chapters. I went from "I don't want to spoon-feed my readers" to thinking "well I do have to explain it because they can't read my mind." The structu...

Izabela Ciesinska is a true artist in every sense of the word. Her illustrations for Claire and the Chatty Daisy are not just beautiful; they are a masterclass in visual storytelling. As someone who has spent a lifetime in this industry, I can tell you that finding an illustrator who understands the heart of a manuscript so completely is a rare gift. From the very first page, Izabela's vibrant, hand-drawn style brings Claire's world to life in a way that is both warm and inviting. Her use of...

Beth handled the copyediting and proofreading of my book, The Chemically Castrated Generation — a dense, science-heavy medical title with a large number of embedded data infographics. From our first exchange through the final pass, she was professional, responsive, and consistently on time. Communication was easy and reliable, which matters enormously when you're working against a publication deadline. What set Beth apart was her genuine engagement with the material. This is a technical medi...

Working with Michelle has been a genuinely rewarding experience. She approached this project with remarkable patience, kindness and a deep personal investment in the story. Translating a work from Russian to English is no small task, yet Michelle handled the complexity with care, precision and respect for the original voice. What truly sets her apart is the pride she takes in her work and her strategic approach. She made the effort to truly get to know the writers, allowing her to understand...

I hired Staci for a developmental assessment of my memoir and was impressed by the thoughtfulness and depth of her feedback. She clearly took the time to engage with both the manuscript and the larger story I was trying to tell. The assessment was detailed, insightful, and at times difficult to read—which is exactly what I needed. Rather than offering vague encouragement, Staci identified weaknesses in structure, theme, and narrative focus while also highlighting the strengths of my writing....

Dear Jesse, Thank you for your vision. You single-handedly transformed my good query letter to an irresistible one. You needled away at my synopsis and brought it to life (I felt emotional reading the synopsis, THE SYNOPSIS!). Folks, don't look any further. Jesse is new here to the Reedsy platform but has decades of high-end, professional editing experience. Hire him. Now. A sincere thank you, Alex Eliscu

Working with Stefanie was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach, and brought so much creativity and originality to the project. What stood out most was her ability to take the vision and elevate it beyond what I had imagined, adding her own ideas in ways that made the story richer and more engaging. Every step of the process felt seamless, and her communication made it easy and enjoyable to work together. I’m genu...

Flavia is an excellent cover illustrator. Not only was her work beautiful, she was also professional and caring throughout the entire design process. I am so grateful to her for designing such a beautiful cover for my book, and I wouldn't hesitate for an instant to work with her again, especially since she gave such a fair price. A big thank you!

As a debut author, this was my first experience working with a professional editor, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the process. Micaela provided thoughtful, detailed feedback that strengthened my manuscript in meaningful ways. Her notes on POV, pacing, repetition, emotional clarity, and trusting the reader challenged me to think more deeply about every scene. I found myself agreeing with far more of her suggestions than I expected, and even when I ultimately chose a d...

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend working with Jamie N. He is a top-notch artist, incredibly talented! His work is some of the finest high fantasy art I've ever seen. He is also incredibly responsive and polite, a pleasure to work with. The work was amazing, and finished ahead of schedule. Moreover, Jamie will go the extra mile. I gave him precise instructions on how I wanted the art to look, and he followed those instructions to the letter. However, when I saw my own idea ...

Bryn was a joy to work with, professional, smart, insightful and very experienced. She helped push my project to the next level. And I look forward to working with her again. Five Stars!

Dora has produced eleven drawings all of excellent quality making sense of my script and often working without one. Her drawings bring life to my script and add meaning, Dora always worked in a cooperative friendly manner and was always amenable to any changes or alterations I asked for. I would certainly ask her to work for me again and would recommend her to anyone.

I absolutely loved working with Tania. I reached a point with my manuscript where I had completely lost direction and confidence, and she changed that for me. She took what was essentially a collection of blog posts and shaped it into a cohesive manuscript that truly looks and feels like a book. You can tell how much thought and care she put into the process, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. We had several meetings, and she was always engaged, encouraging, and insightful. She also ...

Laura's editorial report was thoughtful, incredibly detailed and constructive. It was clear that she had taken the time to really understand what I was trying to achieve with the novel. I appreciated her ability to identify areas that could potentially cause problems when submitting to agents or publishers, including things I hadn't necessarily recognised myself. Her comments on characterisation in particular gave me a new perspective on my opening chapters and have helped me see how I can s...

Micaela was fantastic. I chose her based on two excellent sample developmental edits she provided, and mine did not disappoint. Her experience working for Harper Collins and Henry Holt really showed. She was so encouraging while also giving me specific, actionable suggestions for how to deepen my characters and flesh out my story. She asked great questions and helped me clarify any areas that needed that. We had a long Zoom meeting once I had her edits and she even agreed to read the whole no...
