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. ...

When we found ourselves in a pickle and needed a job turned around fast and well, Grainne saved the day! Her meticulous work—even while working with a tight timeline—was truly impressive. Great communication, a keen eye, and the utmost professionalism are why we look forward to working with Grainne again and again on future projects.

Nicola was SO wonderful to work with! She very quickly responded to me, set a finish date, and finished *before* said date, which was wonderful. But most importantly, she sent me the most thoughtful notes that dove into plot, structure, character development, age range, marketability, and more. Everything I needed to know to help me make it the best it can possibly be! She even shared which house she thought it could be the best fit for, which I so appreciated. And she was just so lovely with...

My experience with Evan far exceeded my expectations. His technical skills, combined with his creativity and ability to truly "partner" on my book were absolutely refreshing, and surprising to me. He completed all tasks, including some late text revisions on my part, well ahead of schedule. I already have the finished book in hand, and it looks great! I would absolutely recommend Evan to anyone seeking these services, and I look forward to collaborating again on any of my future projects.

Sharing your work for critique and editing is a challenging step in the writing journey. You hope your editor likes your work, but you also need them to be comfortable and honest, so their guidance can truly help you improve. I did not just gain an editor with Steph, I gained a friend for life and a Literary Sherpa who held my hand through the whole process. She talked me off the ledge more times than she would probably like to admit, gave me a swift kick in the butt when I got down on my...

Exceptional talent, impeccable professionalism, and a truly wonderful person to work with. Louise took my book from manuscript to masterpiece with remarkable attention to detail and artistic excellence. She consistently went above and beyond, delivering outstanding work on time while making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Her creativity, dedication, and kindness made a lasting impression on me. Without hesitation, I can say that Louise exceeded every expectation. She is a rare gem ...

So impressed with the whole experience working with Matthew. He was really outstanding throughout the process, went way above and beyond on everything from explaining every feature or use of the site to setting up or connecting to other related sites or services, and his extra work on the design. His communication was so clear and thorough, truly felt his care about the project. And the end result was tremendous and really fit my book and its world. Definitely looking forward to working with...

Joy was amazing to work on. She gave me clear advice that's going to make my novel a lot better. She also completed the project early, and checked in with me multiple times during the process.

Agatha’s dev edit on Unbidden is the kind of work that makes you feel both seen as a writer and capable as a craftsperson. She read my manuscript like a reader and then diagnosed it like an editor, with total command of narrative mechanics (pacing, viewpoint discipline, structure), plus a sharp instinct for what my story is really about: the terrifying intimacy of being “used” by something bigger than you. Her notes are deeply specific, actionable, and cross-referenced in a way that makes rev...

Working with Corbin has truly exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was warm and reassuring, which was great as someone who never imagined I’d be writing a book at this stage of life. Her feedback was detailed, thoughtful, and deeply constructive. She helped elevate the structure while honoring the heart and voice of my work. I will be continuing with her beyond the first round of edits and feel incredibly grateful to have found her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any wri...

Working with Kara on my manuscript has been transformative. After years of writing, I came to her for a developmental edit to move forward with confidence. Kara didn't just identify technical issues; she expanded my vision for the manuscript. She balanced specificity with sensitivity, offering critique that deepened rather than diminished the vulnerability in my memoir. Her feedback gave me concrete tools to revise. Most importantly, she helped me gain clarity on my manuscript's purpose an...

Working with Charlotte was an amazing experience from start to finish. She truly brought my vision to life and helped shape my children’s book into something even more beautiful than I imagined. She paid close attention to every detail, especially the emotional tone, representation, and overall feel I wanted the story and illustrations to have. I felt genuinely heard throughout the entire process. Charlotte was incredibly patient, responsive, and open to feedback. She made revisions thoughtf...

JC Perry was great to work with, she worked out issues as they came up. I'm new to the process so it was a learning experience. I'm waiting to see the final product on IngramSpark. The Amazon KDP looks great. I will used JC Perry's services again on my second book if she is still doing this type of work.

Milica did an incredible job of interpreting what I wanted, and gently guiding me on good design. She was easy to work with, very responsive and met every deadline and delivered exactly what she said she would. I could not be happier with the outcome, a beautiful book cover that is already grabbing attention on social media, and a beautifully presented interior. I would not hesitate to work with Milica again, and highly recommend her.

Chris Fortunato fixed all my mistakes. His suggestions are of great value, I highly recommend him.
