This was my third time working with Eleanor, and it was the third book in a series. She remembered details from books one and two, and did an amazing job of making sure that the third book aligned with each. Her suggestions are always spot-on, and I appreciate her attention to detail. I would definitely work with her again!

I feel extremely fortunate to have come across David on the Reedsy site. I have been inspired, challenged, enlightened and encouraged by him when I really needed it. David has been fantastic in every way - both highly professional (on time for every call, reasonable deadlines that he always honors, clear notes and feedback) and also warm and personable. David has helped me think through and untangle numerous tricky areas of my manuscript, and offers solutions and insightful suggestions. ...

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!

Claudie possesses a rare artistic talent that goes far beyond technical skill—she has the ability to truly capture the essence of a story through her art. Her illustrations don’t just complement the narrative; they elevate it, breathing life into characters and settings with a depth that resonates with readers of all ages. What makes Claudie an even greater asset is her collaborative spirit. She approaches every project with openness and respect, genuinely listening to feedback while also br...

I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with Nate throughout the entire process of bringing my first book into fruition. From the get go, it was 100% clear that Nate read my book thoroughly, and really understood the intention of my book. Nate then put what was essentially in my brain onto the pages without me having to be overly explanatory about what I was trying to depict through the illustrations, which was greatly appreciated. Through his beautiful illustrations and book design, he t...

Wow! Working with Nikki was such a wonderful experience and gave me exactly what I needed on a project: a pair of fresh, talented eyes to polish a story and make it stand out! Her editorial insights were fantastic and left me feeling refreshed and excited to revise! If you're looking at taking your manuscript to the next level, consider hiring Nikki as she's a gifted editor and so kind, positive, and warm to work with!

Working with Andie was one of the best investments I’ve made in this publishing journey. My manuscript is nearly 70,000 words, and they approached it with care, precision, and a sharp editorial eye from start to finish. Andie didn’t just correct grammar or spelling...they caught inconsistencies, improved sentence flow, and made thoughtful suggestions that tightened the work without ever diluting my voice. They have a rare talent for knowing when to preserve tone and when to push for clarity, ...

Auriane was outstanding!! She gave me great and timely feedback - both positive and constructive - and many new ideas to consider. I think my story is much stronger as a result of getting her edits. I definitely will work with her again on my next book.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional work you've done on my thriller manuscript. Your editorial expertise has transformed what I thought was a complete story into something far more compelling and polished. From the very first page, your insights revealed layers I hadn't even realized were missing. It was like watching a master craftsperson at work. Your character development notes were particularly invaluable. Editorial artistry at work! The structura...

Working with Megan has been an absolute gift. She is not only incredibly kind but also deeply thoughtful in her approach. Every piece of feedback she gave was detailed, well-structured, and so clearly rooted in genuine care for both the story and me as a first-time author. She didn’t just edit my manuscript—she guided me through the publishing process with patience, encouragement, and wisdom. I felt supported every step of the way, and it truly made this journey less overwhelming and more exc...

Eric was patient and very professional when working with me, an inexperienced author. My transcript needed more work than he had guessed but he took it all in stride, meticulously checking my references and providing much needed guidance. I am forever grateful to have found him.

Perfect. Went above and beyond. Clear communication, good work, I am very pleased with the results. Would recommend.

Kristin is an amazing editor who made the process a lot easier and did a great job helping me. As a first time author, where I thought this was only ever a pipe dream, it was nerve wracking handing someone basically my heart on a page. She was very compassionate and supportive, but honest and critical in the best way. She has an impeccable understanding of poetry and how to best get your point across to the reader. Always responds to emails promptly and asks important questions that make you ...

Working with Lucy was truly wonderful. One of my biggest goals was to make the prose feel smooth, natural, and emotionally strong, especially since English isn’t my first language. She elevated the manuscript beyond what I had hoped for. Her explanations were always clear and spot-on, and her industry experience shines through in every note she gives. Lucy has an incredible eye for detail and continuity, catching subtle inconsistencies in the storyline that I would never have seen after so m...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Working with Clelia was a true gift. From the very beginning, Clelia approached my manuscript with care, intuition, and a deep sense of presence. She didn’t just edit words—she listened to the soul of the story. Her attention to detail was impeccable, her guidance always thoughtful, and her suggestions felt both grounded and expansive. As a debut author, I felt held and supported through every phase of the process. Clelia brought clarity, refinement, and a rare kind of emotional ...
