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...

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.

What a wonderful experience. Jenna was really helpful in getting my query letter and elements of my Synopsis ready for prime time. I will work with her on any project in the future.

This is my first time writing a book and I am SO glad I chose Wayne to illustrate the picture book. He is AMAZING! #1 - I love his art. He really brings the story to life in ways I wouldn't have ever thought of. Also, I noticed that while a lot of the other illustrators had lovely drawings, but a bunch of them felt the same. Wayne's really just called to me and felt unique and one off for the books. #2 - Wayne is great to work with. He had some great suggestions on the book that real...

Dakota brings an editor’s precision and a poet’s ear to every line. What sets her apart is her relentless focus on line craft—enjambments, indentations, and rhythm aren’t just technical matters for her; they’re the pulse of the poem. She has a gift for spotting where a break loses torque, where a stanza can carry more weight, or where a single word could unlock the music of the whole piece. Her feedback is uncompromising in the best way: every line must stand alone as art, every stanza must ...

This is my second time working with Jennifer. An amazing experience once again. Totally thorough, totally professional and most of all, 100% respectful. She cares about stories and she has the ability to point out things an author might miss. She communicated with me in such away that made me feel like an author, not a client. An invaluable investment 👌

Really enjoyed working with Tina. Great communication and she did an excellent job of doing the copy edit for my first book. She didn't just make the edits, she provided reasons and guidance so I understood the "why". Will work with her again for sure!

Working with Josiah was an exceptional experience. As a Latino author writing a novel deeply rooted in Mesoamerican mythology and cultural perspectives, I was genuinely impressed by how well he understood my world, my characters, and the voice behind the story. He approached the manuscript with respect, clarity, and a remarkable ability to read not just the text, but the cultural heartbeat beneath it. His feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and delivered with kindness. He identified struct...

Lanette edited and proofread my debut book, Not Yet Whole: A Guide to Self-Understanding and the End of Becoming, and her contribution to this project went far beyond what I originally hired her for. From the editing stage, Lanette brought a careful and thoughtful eye to the manuscript. She respected the book's voice and philosophical depth while helping clarify the language and sharpen the reading experience. Her margin comments were specific and always honest. What truly set Lanette apart...

The depth of Laura’s knowledge of the English language is incredible, she is a true craftswoman. She is supportive, generous, and her genuine enthusiasm for my debut novel has given me a much needed confidence boost! The thought of publishing my novel without Laura’s expert attention makes me break out in a cold sweat. I’m looking forward to working with her again. If you want the best, choose Laura.

Working with Nathalie has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. She brought my project to life with illustrations that are both timeless and modern—warm, expressive, and full of quiet magic. Her work strikes a rare balance between storybook charm and emotional depth, which was exactly what this project needed. Beyond her talent, Nathalie is a true professional. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and consistently showed care for the story, not just the artwor...

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...

I hired Zuza for the cover design, interior design, and illustrations for my book Moon Pause, and she exceeded every expectation. From the start, she took the time to truly understand the project, bringing her own valuable insights to the creative process rather than simply executing instructions. She was a genuine collaborator. My book would not be what it is without her talent and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Zuza to any author looking for a designer and illustrator who will bring...

Krista was a dream to work with on this project! She was proactive in her communication and even completed the project ahead of the initial due date WITH a holiday in the middle of the timeframe. I would love to work with her again on upcoming projects and would recommend her to anyone looking for an honest professional editorial review.

Rennie is not only professional, attentive, and responsive. But she connects to your manuscript on an emotional level. I can't recommend her enough. I loved reading the notes of her reacting to my story and wanting to learn more about it, not just to help make it better, but to learn about the author.
