I’ve worked with Jenny more than once, and I would absolutely hire her again. While I brought her on primarily as a proofreader, her contribution went well beyond catching grammatical or technical issues. She has a sharp eye for context, phrasing, and flow, and she offered thoughtful, well-reasoned suggestions that improved clarity without ever trying to reshape my voice or intent. What I especially appreciated is that her feedback was never prescriptive. She flagged areas that gave her paus...

Katie is a fantastic editor. She sees both the forest and the trees, with a keen eye towards purpose. As a writer, I sometimes get so bogged down in the details of a piece that I struggle to zoom out. Katie identified any and all narrative inconsistencies and ambiguities. My writing is more compelling and persuasive because of her edits. She also has a sharp eye for grammar or wording issues and provides great suggestions. She managed to do all of this on an exceedingly tight timeline. I cann...

Working with Cindy was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Her developmental editing went far beyond surface-level feedback. She approached my manuscript with the insight of a true craftsperson, combining narrative intuition with a teacher’s depth of understanding. Cindy’s assessment was remarkably detailed and constructive, providing both high-level story guidance and precise commentary on structure, pacing, and character development. What impressed me most was the educational va...

Marta was absolutely amazing. Incredible editor, went above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

Michelle did a fantastic job with my book in not only editing but teaching me a lot about citations and when and when not needed. She was very easy to communicate with and did a thorough job. I will definitely employ her again when I have the need for a sharp, and focused editor.

Working with Laura was an excellent experience. She demonstrated a keen eye, great sensitivity, and strong technical mastery. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed on my children’s STEM book, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ed designed and led the illustration effort from start to finish, while always making sure my vision was front and center. The final illustrations are vibrant, engaging, and exactly what I envisioned for young readers. I’d highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for an illustrator who can lead a project with professionalism and deliver exceptional work. In fact, I’m already working...

Michele was efficient, pleasant and did outstanding work! Highly recommended! Thank you!

I’ve worked with RuthAnn on two books in my contemporary romance series now and hope to work with her more in the future. She is fast, professional and provides in-depth feedback in a way that makes you feel encouraged and excited to get stuck in. Her suggestions have improved my writing and added clarity to my stories so they can be the best version of themselves. I can’t recommend her any more highly.

Working with Adrienne was an absolutely transformative experience for my manuscript. She was amazing and far more than just helpful; she possesses a unique talent for seeing the bigger picture of a story. When I came to her, my plot was a collection of disconnected ideas and scenes. Adrienne skillfully helped me weave those threads together into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Her insights into structuring the story were invaluable. She identified where the pacing lagged, suggested turn...

This is my second book with Nicola, and I am so glad I came back to work with her. Not only did she bring my characters and story to life in whimsical beautiful way, but she was also responsive and delightful to work with the whole way. I had so many doubts and worries when I started the illustration process the first time, Nicola took all those away with her care, professionalism, creativity, and talent. This time, I had no worries because I knew working with Nicola again would be better tha...

Vincent was brilliant. He was meticulous and thorough. He eye for detail was extraordinary. He was also responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. He completed everything early. My book was much better for having Vincent involved. I cannot imagine his not being involved on my next book. Really a great experience. Thanks!

I hired Jonathan to proofread my manuscript, and the results were more than I could have hoped for. The manuscript had already been reviewed many times, but he still caught things I had missed. He also made a few thoughtful suggestions within the manuscript that were right on target and genuinely improved the work. I would absolutely want to work with him again.

Taryn is fantastic! She’s incredibly professional, helpful, and fully committed to the project. She offered me valuable advice, was always responsive, happy to make changes, and made the whole process seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommended! Thanks Taryn :)

As a first-time author, finding the right editor was a daunting task. You spend years developing an idea, committing to it, and trying to shape it into the best version possible, so handing your manuscript over to someone else is not easy. I was initially a little sceptical about using Reedsy to find an editor, especially for such a personal passion project. I reached out to a few editors, but what stood out to me about Sam was his enthusiasm and attitude from the start. His feedback was war...
