Sarah did an amazing job on my manuscript. Not only did she spot typos, she identified phrases that were mismatched for a particular generation or geographical location. She's thorough, attentive, and professional. Without a doubt, I'll ask her to edit my next work. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and talent. My novel is much improved because of her input. Thank you, Sarah. D. M. Reed

She is absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning, she approached my manuscript with incredible care and attention to detail, making sure that every single comment was clear, easy to understand, and directly relevant to my work. She didn’t just mark things for the sake of editing—she provided thoughtful, well-explained notes that reflected what she truly thought, showing that she took the time to engage deeply with my writing. Her feedback was concise yet thorough, never overwhelming, and...

Working with John has been an outstanding experience. He brings a rare combination of expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm to the process. His insights strengthened my manuscript, and his communication made every step smooth and enjoyable. I would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services.

This was my second time working with Nyco for a book cover and he once again did a fantastic job! He's a delight to work with, committed to turning out the best work possible, and totally captured the spirit of the story. 10/10 would commission again

Megan was a delight to work with, making the entire design process simple and painless. My book looks fantastic, and I'm very pleased with the results! Megan provided excellent communication, and her turnaround time on everything, including changes, was speedy. Highly recommend her!!

This is my second book with David, and once again his editing is exceptional. For developmental editing, his feedback is always spot-on, thoughtful, honest, and encouraging. He clearly understands the voice of the story, and his insightful suggestions provided a clear roadmap for revisions. In copy editing and line editing, his meticulous attention to details combined with his thoughtful push for more clarity and consistency has beautifully elevated the book. I look forward to working with hi...

Working with Kristin has been one of the most transformative experiences of my writing life. She approaches editing with both surgical precision and deep empathy for the work, balancing line-level craft with an extraordinary birds-eye view of the manuscript as a whole. Her editorial assessment didn’t just mark places to tighten or expand—it revealed the architecture of my collection in a way I hadn’t fully seen myself. She highlighted thematic arcs, tonal consistencies, and structural streng...

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.

Claire didn't just edit my book; She transformed it. Exceptional work! I came to Claire with a manuscript for my book, "UPGRADE," that I was proud of, but I knew it was missing something. It had the science, the data, and the structure, but it lacked the vital 'human' element that makes a book truly connect with a reader. Claire's work was nothing short of transformative. She took my solid draft and elevated it into a polished, professional, and deeply engaging book that I am now thrilled to...

Robin is a fantastic editor. Full stop. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and incredible willingness to help above and beyond her extensive and detailed copy edit are reason enough to choose her as your editor, but if for some reason it isn't, then here's some more reasons she's at the top of my list of editors on every single project I work on from this point on: Robin brings experience to the table that will make your manuscript shine. She will help every word flow together as beautiful...

Working with Sarah was one of the most important decisions I made in bringing this book to life. She read my manuscript with honesty, precision, and genuine care — not just as an editor but as someone who understood what I was trying to say and helped me say it better. Her notes were direct, specific, and always in service of the story. She never tried to change my voice. She just helped me find where it was strongest and pushed me toward that. If you are serious about your book and want some...

Tom has helped me immensely with writing my fantasy novel. Were it not for him, I'd have taken much more time to get where I am today in the process, and with a lot more difficulty. He's a great guy and very professional, couldn't recommend him enough.

You will find many great reviews for editors, so I want to start by telling what's different about Joanna. Joanna was the fourth editor I used on Reedsy and I provided five-star reviews for 2 of the other 3. Those two editors were good to excellent, and I'd use them again, but Joanna is simply the best. She provides both developmental and copy editor at a very high quality, so I felt like I was getting a two-for-one. She's timely, considerate, and works with the author to understand what ...

I’m so glad I chose Jennifer to edit my book. She is incredibly detail-oriented and responsible. She has a way of catching those hidden mistakes between the lines that I had completely missed. You can really tell she loves what she does because she puts so much heart and energy into the work. She was always responsive and kept in touch throughout the whole project. I love how she’s both encouraging and a great critic—she strikes a perfect balance between highlighting strengths and addressing...

Sarah was very nice and professional to work with. Indexing was both thorough and complete. Job was completed ahead of schedule. I would gladly work with Sarah again.
